The drink hosties hate you ordering on a plane

Long haul flights are tough and just hearing that drinks trolley coming our way makes us instantly perk up.

Besides watching hours of films you wouldn’t usually glance at and napping an unusual amount, food and drink time is all we have to look forward to on a 20+ hour journey through the skies.

However it turns out some people aren’t quite as excited as us about the beverage situation on planes – with flight attendants dreading customers ordering one specific drink.

One air hostess took to her blog, These Golden Wings, to reveal why a flight attendant might give you a strange look when you order Diet Coke.

“As you may know, the aircraft cabin is not pressurized to sea level, but rather to the equivalent of about 7 or 8 thousand feet,” she started.

“This means some passengers might feel a little light-headed or that alcohol effects them almost twice as much as it would on the ground.

“It also means soft drinks foam up a lot more when poured out of a can.”

She revealed that the “worst culprit” for this is Diet Coke.

“I literally have to sit and wait for the bubbles to fall before I can continue pouring,” she wrote.

“If all 3 passengers ask for diet coke I’ll often get them started, take another three drink orders, serve those, and then finish the diet cokes.”

However she did share a video she found online, which shows the correct way you should be pouring Diet Coke on a plane.

It shows the traditional method of pouring a soft drink with the bubbles rising to the top and then “the smart way” where the plastic cup is put on top of the can before it is turned over and poured.

“As you can see, the can gets in the way and prevents the foam from forming,” she wrote.

“This saves so much time that I can pour a complete glass with ice the “smart” way before the foam even finishes falling when pouring the standard method.”

While she admits this might seem like a small problems to others, she claims the airline she works with offers hot towels, meals and tea and coffee.

“Pouring diet coke is one of the biggest slow downs in the bar service and on the shorter flights those precious seconds count,” she wrote.
