Jet lag, flight delays, crammed airplane seats….getting from point A to point B doesn’t always bring out the best in us. But to make it through some of travel’s most stressful scenarios, you have to stay calm and choose your words wisely.
Last year, I saw this article by Cassie Shortsleeve, written for the Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Maybe it will be helpful to you.
Speak like this for smooth sailing through any want-to-pull-your-hair-out-and-scream situation.

Am I understanding this correctly? The flight attendants now want you to bring them chocolates? Wow...just when you think you've heard everything!

I think most of these tips are generic and would be helpful when dealing with anyone out in the world. Being polite and using good manners rather than sounding bossy and pushy has always been more the successful route when dealing with others : )
However, the chocolates......................that's over the top silly!

I agree...courtesy is always en vogue. But...the chocolate makes me wonder what the pilot expects to receive so that you arrive at your destination on time and alive.

Oh! I know!
Be sure to give your flight attendant a nice big, fat tip!!!!
I mean, we're tipping everybody else these days, might as well as include flight attendants, too!
