Nice little domestic, loads of families on board on their way to connecting flights to take them to exotic destinations.
Push Back came and I took my demo postion by the divider. Flight was full and for a change all and sundry eyes glued to my every move.
On the homestretch nowand had my lifejacket on, slight pause as the purser wait while the double bow was completed and beside me this little voice speaks up......
" Daddy, is the man going swimming?"
To say that I found it very difficult to hold my composure is an understatement but the fact that the whole aircraft heard what this little boy said and subsequent laughter actually made it a very memorable flight!

Miss N,
What's wrong with that? If you were doing First Class on one of the better airlines that is perfectly OK...
I remember that Ansett (your old home I see from your profile) was the first airline that asked me how I would like my steak done in their Business/First so a request for a latte wouldn't have seemed unreasonable.

A friend of mine who is a steward and is a little camp in his mannerisms told me this once:
It as an icy day and the plane was delayed for de-icing. It seems there was a long line of a/c waiting for de-icing and it was taking a while. One lady passenger got upset and said to my friend.
'Oh why is it taking so long'
He replied 'I'm sorry madam, but there are many other a/c waiting too. If I had a magic wand I would wave it and make the ice disappear'
To which she said 'Well you're a big enough fairy!'

We had a pilgrim passenger once on a 747 carrying around 500 desperate souls asking if we coould please open the door while flying over Mecca to disperse the ashes of his father. He said he realized that the A/C was pressurised but asked politely if we could do a low pass to be able to crank open the door.
I think there might be some buisness in doing this....

Pilot makes a PA halfway through the flight telling pax that we would be arriving at our destination 30 mins early. The pax then asks me if he could possibly slow down a bit so he does not have to wait ages on his lift home!!!!
