15 Black Friday Deals Flight Attendants Use on Every Trip-Up to 50% Off at Amazon

"As a travel writer who spends at least eight months of the year "gallivanting around the globe"-my mom's words, not mine-I spend more time with flight attendants than I do with my family. But don't cry me a river. I learn so much from these fine folks who make flying the friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) skies as comfortable as possible."

"I take cues from them in times of turbulence. I heed their recommendations regarding which entrees I should order (pro tip: stay away from the pasta). And most importantly, I pay attention to what they wear and pack in their bags. They may not need a college degree to advance their careers, but when it comes to travel, flight attendants are the utmost experts."

Frequent flyers and flight attendants exchange practical travel knowledge and style cues that improve onboard comfort and efficiency. Flight attendants recommend which meals to avoid and demonstrate smart packing and wardrobe choices for travel. International Flight Attendant Day falls on May 31, while many attendants prioritize Black Friday and Thanksgiving-week sales for buying essentials. Flight attendants share their Amazon Black Friday wish lists and deals during downtime between trips. The FAA permits passengers to give gifts to cabin crew, and gifting useful travel items can acknowledge exemplary service on regular routes.
