I’m a flight attendant – there’s 3 types of holidaymakers we hate but it’s honeymooners we really dread stepping onboard

A FLIGHT attendant has lifted the lid on the worst type of airline customers – and it’s not the Karens.

The punters that cabin crew truly dread are newlyweds jetting off on their honeymoon , says Suzanne Bucknam.

The former flight attendant has moaned that just-married couples “think they deserve everything”

“Just because they’re celebrating, it doesn’t mean others have to celebrate or contribute to that celebration,” she said.

“If you do get a free upgrade or a free drink, fantastic!

“But please don’t demand one from an unsuspecting flight attendant.

“As an employee who has been in that situation, it’s just plain awkward if there are no upgrades available.

“Plus, it’s against the airline’s policy to give freebies.”

Suzanne recalled a time that she had to have a couple “moved to a new flight because they demanded to sit next to each other on an already booked flight”

“They were hoping for a complimentary upgrade by asserting their newlywed status but the passenger (quite rightly) next to her declined their request,” the former flight attendant shared.

“The situation intensified when the husband raised his voice, prompting their removal from the plane.

“We didn’t want them harassing or sitting next to this woman for the entire four-hour flight.”

Suzanne also warned that getting too cosy with your beau (and trying to join the Mile-High Club) could cost you more than a fine.

“A kiss on the lips or hand holding doesn’t warrant ick status,” she said.

“But making out and putting a blanket over each other’s laps gets very uncomfortable for everyone in the vicinity.

“I’ve seen several couples attempt to join the Mile-High Club either in the bathroom or, worse, at their seats with said blanket over them.

Plane etiquette

IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules...

RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn’t recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop.

He said: “Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half.”

Before you recline your seat , it’s best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing.

If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back.

FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: “Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for.

“Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else.

“If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up.”

CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren’t welcome, suggesting that others shouldn’t expect a chat.

She added: “I’m not a talker. Plane time is me time.”

“In fact, I’ve caught a couple with their pants down in the back of our plane once.

“We did an emergency landing and had them escorted off the plane, then got back in the air without them.”

Getting frisky on an aeroplane can see you arrested for public indecency.

“Flight attendants won’t be afraid to call the authorities if they see you trying to get too cosy with your partner,” Suzanne warned.
