Besides the classic packet of peanuts and a soft drink, you may be entitled to more items in airline economy class that you don’t know about.
The Travel + Leisure website questioned several flight attendants to find out if there might be some “secret” items we’re not enjoying while traveling beyond the standard amenities handed out.
And they gave us some tips.
It is worth remembering: this will vary in each case.
“It depends a lot on each airline’s policy and specifically which aircraft you are on. But it’s always worth asking the flight attendants if they have some items like these, but availability can vary,” explained Matt James from the Visitingly website.
AMENITIES KIT
Toothbrush and toothpaste, ear plugs, sleeping mask, moisturizing creams. These kits are usually delivered on longer flights but can sometimes be available on medium-length journeys.
According to the experts, it is worth checking.
BOTTLE OF WATER
No need to wait for the trolley to pass by and grab a glass! Some airlines may even provide a whole bottle of water for the passenger.
Ask around.
PILLOW AND BLANKET
The temperature inside the aircraft is usually relatively low, and even if you are not on a long flight, you can also ask for a kit with a pillow and blanket if you are feeling cold.
FIRST AID
If you need essential items such as gauze, bandages, adhesive tape, and others, the flight attendant can provide them and even help you with some of your needs.
MEDICATIONS
According to the publication, flight attendants can access medicines that do not require a doctor’s prescription, such as painkillers and drugs for gastrointestinal ailments.
HEADPHONES
If you forgot your headphones, aircraft usually have a few units of those straightforward models. Don’t expect a fantastic noise-canceling apparatus, but it will do.
CHILDREN’S BOOKS
For children traveling who aren’t interested in the entertainment videos, or case there aren’t any, some airlines have children’s books and activity books to ease the trip for the little ones.
MORE SNACKS
On short flights, you will hardly ever have a good meal. In some cases, you can order more snacks and drinks. But remember: it depends on the airline’s policy regarding this service.
