Flight attendant shares 'type' of passenger cabin crew prefer the most

A flight attendant has disclosed the "type" of passenger that cabin crews appreciate the most during flights.

On TikTok, Tui's own 'Mrs Miva' posted a video where she's seen opening an aircraft door in preparation for boarding passengers. She captioned the footage with: "Things passengers do that just make sense."

Her advice was clear: "Only stand up when the plane has reached its final parking position. The plane has a speed of up to 200-300 km/h on the ground, stay safe and realise that you can't get out yet anyway."

In response to her video, one of the German-born flight attendant's 33,000 followers commented in support: "I stay in my seat until everyone is out of the aisle. No point in it."

Another shared their preference: "Whenever I take a flight, I always prefer to stay seated instead of jamming into the aisle. The luggage usually takes a while to get offloaded anyway."

However, not everyone agreed with the sentiment. One person expressed doubt: "Unfortunately never going to happen," they remarked. "I've had to ask passengers to step back."

Meanwhile, another dismissed the guidance outright: "Nice try, I am standing up as soon as plane lands."

Addressing a query in the comments about the time taken to open doors and why multiple exits aren't used, Miva clarified: "We have no influence. We're waiting for the sign of the airport handling who have to adjust the stairs/air bridge so that every passenger can get off safely. Otherwise you would have to jump out."

In her most popular video, seen an incredible 18.7 million times, Miva shared a unique reason why cabin crew greet passengers when they board the plane.

She explained airplane staff utilise the boarding process to identify capable flyers, adding in her clip that checking for "too drunk or sick" passengers was part of her role. She posed the question: "Did you know that your flight attendant greets you not only out of kindness but also to check whether you are too drunk or sick to fly?"
