Is there a baby on board?
Whilst boarding a flight to a city in Eastern Europe an infant was being carried in a large carry cot. The parents did not speak English but we managed to communicate that must be secured onto one of the parent's laps. Once all was on board I prepared the cabin for take off. I looked for this family but could not see them. I checked the paper work and found where they were sat and proceeded to go and assist them.
When I got to the seats, there were the parents but no infant! With the help of an English speaker nearby, I asked where the child was. The mother simply kept pointing upwards. Bemused I opened the overhead locker and to my horror there inside, wedged in was the carry cot containing the angelic baby, fast asleep! The family thought that it would be perfectly safe and secure!
In First Class!
Flying is a wonderful job but can be very dull on long flights once the service has finished. There are always things to do but sometimes we make our own fun! On this occasion the captain was asked to come and look at the state of a First class toilet. He came to look. We opened the door to reveal that somebody had smeared 'pooh' all over the walls and pictures.
The captain was horrified not just at the mess but that anybody in first class could do such a thing! Then my colleague said 'it's amazing...look at it!', she rubbed her index finger on the wall, through a heavy patch of mess then proceeded to lick the finger clean! The captain went green. Not to worry though it was all a set up as the 'pooh' was actually leftover chocolate cake from the service.
