Don’t ever order this on your flight…..

flight attendants

They have to deal with small confined spaces, irate passengers and clean dirty toilets, but there is one thing you don’t want to ask a Flight Attendant for.

According to this flight attendant’s blog These Gold Wings published by The Sun, there is one drink order in particular really annoys the cabin crew to serve.

The flight attendant, who goes by the name of Jet, writes: “As you may know, the aircraft cabin is not pressurised to sea level, but rather to the equivalent of about seven or eight thousand feet.

“This means some passengers might feel a little light headed or that alcohol affects them almost twice as much as it would on the ground.”

So it’s alcohol that annoys the cabin crew?! One would expect, except, no.

One of customer demands that they dread the most as it takes so long to pour due to its fizzy nature.

The drink is especially fizzy in the air because the lower air pressure in the cabin means it is easier for the CO2 to release.

In fact, in the time it takes to pour a single Diet Coke, a flight attendant could have also served three other passengers.

‘Jet’ adds, “It also means soft drinks foam up a lot more when poured out of a can, and the worst culprit for this is Diet Coke — I literally have to sit and wait for the bubbles to fall before I can continue pouring.

“If all 3 passengers ask for Diet Coke I’ll often get them started, take another three drink orders, serve those, and then finish the Diet Cokes.”

What do you drink do you order?
