Right – wrong when pressing the button to call flight attendants on the plane

A visitor on the forum Reddit Share about the incident you just encountered on the plane, ask everyone for advice on right and wrong. “I just had an international flight. At 5pm they served food and I was sleeping. At 5:45pm I woke up and knew I had missed my meal. So I pressed the button to call the flight attendant to ask if it was possible. Can you bring me a meal?”

“The flight attendant very politely said she would bring the food, but reminded me that the call button is only for emergencies. Then she turned on the speaker and told me the actual use of the button. I feel like I’m being criticized, and the people around me certainly know.

The story of the guest above has attracted a great deal of controversy among the participants on the forum. Many people criticized the flight attendant, agreed with the guest and said that the button is not only for emergencies. “I used to call to ask for more blankets. They served me and never complained,” one person shared.

“The button can be used when you need something. This flight attendant probably doesn’t want to be bothered, so she acts like that”, another agreed. “If I were you, I would write a letter to complain to the airline. Maybe the function of the button is to use it when it’s absolutely necessary, maybe you’ve used it for the wrong purpose. But flight attendants shouldn’t embarrass you in the middle of the room. crowded,” one added.

But there were also those who said that the guest was wrong. “The same thing happened to me. Instead of pressing the button, I got up, went to the back of the plane and talked directly to the flight attendants about providing food,” one person expressed.

Sara Nelson, president of the International Association of Flight Attendants, says people shouldn’t press the call button just to be served food and drinks. Instead, you should go to the employee to ask for what you need. An unnamed flight attendant from Korean Air shared: “That button is for passengers to use when they need help from the flight attendant. You have the right to press to ask for more food, drinks, blankets… But we would be happy if you would come to the back of the plane and make an offer.”

Kat Kalamani, a flight attendant, added that passengers should not press the call button while the plane is taking off and landing. This is the time when everyone needs to fasten their seat belts. Making an emergency call at this time could put the flight attendants in danger.
