Passengers: from a Flight Attendant's View

Manick is a Senior Flight Steward at Jet Airways. He’s a confident young man with a mission, flying twenty days a month across various destinations like New York, Brussels, Singapore, Bangkok and London. Traveling to first world countries, exploring different culture, eating a variety of foods and visiting beautiful locations are perhaps the biggest highs that Manick gets at his job.

When asked about the passengers he regularly attends to, he chimed in with his thoughts. “The frequent fliers are the most painful lot. Just because they are privileged customers, they think they have bought us. Most of the times, they are rude and are very difficult to satisfy. Interestingly, the celebrities (cricketers, singers & Bollywood actors) are very polite. All they want is to be left alone to sleep and rest. The same is the case with the business travelers. They are the least demanding. All they want is their own space. But I personally love the vacationers. They are the most chilled out lot. They are revved with energy; they’re all smiles and very understanding. They even chat up a lot with us.”
