Waiting to board a flight usually means impatiently standing in front of the airline’s gate, tapping your foot, and incessantly checking your cell phone. What you most likely don’t think about, though, is what the flight crew needs to do in order to prepare the plane for your arrival.
This is what the crew does in the 15 minutes before you even step onto the plane. It’s a flurry of busy tasks!
So, the next time you’re sighing and waiting to board, remember…there is probably a good reason for every single delay. The attendants need to clean, be briefed on aircraft details, and make sure nothing is left behind. Don’t be impatient — be thankful!
