10 Secrets Flight Attendants Keep, Plus Tips for Comfy Flights

5. Fish or chicken?

When it comes to in-flight dining, the timeless question is fish or chicken? Most opt for chicken, leaving late-served passengers with fish as the only choice. To manage this, flight attendants use a clever tactic when chicken runs out. They pitch the fish as an exclusive dish, crafted specially for this flight by the "chef." This subtle spin makes the fish seem like a rare treat. By framing it as a bespoke option, attendants ensure passengers feel content with their meal, even if it wasn't their top pick.
