Want to Flirt with a Flight Attendant? Here’s the One Rule You Should Follow, According to a Pro
Flight attendants often catch the eye of passengers mid-flight, especially after a few airport drinks have boosted some liquid courage. But before you turn on the charm, a seasoned flight attendant has a simple message: don’t make it awkward.
“Please Don’t”: A Flight Attendant’s Viral Plea
Tyra, a Delta Airlines flight attendant with six years of experience, recently went viral on TikTok (@wheelsupwithtyra) for sharing the golden rule when it comes to flirting at 40,000 feet. In her words:
“Do not hit on a flight attendant during the flight. It makes things uncomfortable. We have to be polite, but that doesn’t mean we’re interested.”
There Is a Right Way
If you’re determined to express interest, Tyra recommends a low-pressure, respectful approach:
“The best way is to hand your number to the flight attendant as you’re leaving the plane.”
This way, you’re not creating tension during the flight, and it gives the attendant the choice to reach out — or not.
Respect Their Workspace
Flight attendants are professionals doing a demanding job in a confined space. As Tyra explains, keeping it respectful and non-invasive is key to avoiding discomfort for everyone on board.
“It’s just advice… but your chances are definitely better if you respect her workspace,” she added in response to a commenter.
So next time you’re tempted to flirt mid-flight, remember: timing and respect go a long way — even at cruising altitude.
