Flight attendants have shared their secrets and get 11 life hacks which will help you make the journey much more pleasant.

1. How to get the flight attendants to serve you more closely

Most of the passengers are trying to choose seats at the front of the cabin, eager to get out after planting and increase the chances that they will get a favorite lunch option. But the flight attendants know that if you sit in the tail, you will be more carefully maintained. The reason is simple: the flight attendants don't like to answer calls at the front of the plane, as by answering one, they are likely to collect along the way similar requests from other passengers. This can become a problem because aircraft are often not enough for more vodka, pillows, earplugs and toothbrush, and on short flights it may not be enough time for additional service on top of the established schedule. However, the passengers sitting in the back, it is easier to bring an extra bottle of wine or what they ask.
