2. Think Twice Before Asking For Diet Coke
Of all the other things, one something flight attendants truly detest is when customers want Diet Coke. Fascinatingly, the logic behind this aversion is that reduced air pressure at cruising altitude, about 35,000 feet, greatly influences carbonated beverages, especially Diet Coke. At high altitudes, the effervescent character of this drink becomes much more troublesome and calls for almost treble the pouring duration of other drinks. Serving Diet Coke requires great patience and accuracy from flight attendants since too much carbonation could cause overflow and spillage, therefore possibly delaying service to other passengers. Although they keep their professionalism and never refuse to offer it, their service efficiency can be much improved by a simple drink request. The beverage cart must stay still longer to produce a ripple effect that slows down service all around the cabin. To cut down on the settling time, some flight attendants have even created particular pouring procedures exclusively for Diet Coke.
