Y'know a few people ask that and i love that people actually ask it :). The only thing i've been able to come up with is, instead of using the call bell to ask for a coffee or something ask them if another drinks service is coming up soon. That way it'll get the point across that you'd like a coffee or something but instead of running back and forth to the galley to grab something for you i could just set up the trolley and go for it all in one go. (If someone asks for a coffee or something when i'm grabbing it for you i guarantee someone else will also ask, so instead of doing 5x30m dashes to get a few bits and bobs i can just sort it out on the trolley)!

Not as much as I'd like! Our airline generally flights from A-B-A or A-B-A-C-A. So we almost always end up back home at the end of the day. Only time I've had a layover was in Skavsta in Sweden. Their crew had run out of hours due to terrible weather so we had to fly them home and they'd drop us back the next day. Because we were flying home as passengers we could have a bit of fun and, well, the Swedes are a very welcoming and fun bunch!

I wish i knew! It's supposed to be a "we're on time and/or early" fanfare but usually i just fold a napkin into a trumpet and make fun of it!

Really gotta give you the award for the most original question here so far!

As a guy i would imagine they wouldn't fetch as high a price but i'm just asking my colleagues right now and their answer is simply "but my shoes aren't sexy". It's definitely news that their footwear would be something of desire!

I can answer both in one fel swoop! Hypoxia! When you are in the air working for up to 12 hours a day you are completely starved of oxygen. By the end of the day you'll either be completely shattered or high as a kite. Let me tell you you sleep like a baby when you get home!
