Flight attendant shows why your answer is very important when they say ‘hello’ as you get on plane

While flight attendants are being polite, there is another reason why they say ‘hello’ as you board

A flight attendant has revealed why your answer is very important when they greet you with ‘hello’ as you board the plane.

Nervous flyers will be fully aware of all the anxiety that comes with going on a plane, so a kind gesture from crew members can go a long way.

You may have noticed flight attendants typically greet you with a ‘hello’ as you get on the plane.

While they do this out of politeness, there is actually another reason why crew great passengers as such.

Well, the reason fight attendants say ‘hello’ is so they can help indicate if a passenger is unwell or even drunk.

I mean, it’s not exactly uncommon for flyers to sink a few pints in the airport pub prior to boarding, but too much booze can actually lead to you being booted off the plane.

Wizz Air flight attendant Iona Iachim recently took to TikTok to discuss the matter, stating the welcome as you got onto the plane wasn’t just about being polite but also ‘to check whether or not you are too drunk or sick to fly’.

These claims were backed up by a fellow flight attendant who works for the Hungarian budget airline.

In a caption over footage of Rania making an in-flight announcement, the cabin crew member wrote: “Did you know that your flight attendant greets you not only out of politeness?”

After a few seconds of anticipation, Rania revealed that their greeting is ‘to check whether you are too drunk or sick to fly’.

As industry standards go, flight attendants are looking for ‘able-bodied passengers’ (ABPs) who could help out with assistance when it comes to ‘evacuating the aircraft’.

So no, the flight attendant does not think you’re attractive and want to take you out on a date because they said ‘hello’ – something that has disappointed some people on TikTok.

“I always thought it was my devastingly good looks and awesome personality. Now I’m heart-broken,” one person said.

While a second added: “I came home from Vegas drunk with my cousins and I was so shocked they even allowed us on the plane.”

On top of this greeting, flight attendants look out for the opposite when it comes to putting certain passengers in an exit row.

The likes of children, the elderly and those with physical and mental disabilities are unlikely to be placed here as they could impede an evacuation.
