You might just think of them as smiling faces who politely ask you to put your bag underneath the seat in front of you, but flight attendants have a lot of information that the rest of us just aren’t privy to.
Come fly the skies with TheHub as we let you in on ten secrets that flight attendants don’t want you to know.
