You should add matchmaking as a product line at Points Pros and charge for it. All the best matchmakers do...
Why is this so hard? I just leave my number (to add me on Whatsapp if interested) on a piece of paper and hand it to the FA as I deplane. This has usually happened at outstations if that makes a difference, and has worked every time with CX / KA FAs in the past several years.
Lucky,
I'm now curious to hear about your previous interactions with FAs after getting their numbers... Is there a thread for this on your blog?
It's not hard at all, but I think it's up to the passenger to give the FA his or her contact information or business card and leave it up to the FA to respond back to you (if he or she wishes to do so!)
Unless you've had a fairly decent conversation with the FA you are eyeing in-flight (usually because they are deadheading in the seat next to you) and have already given each other fair measure that you are mutally interested in each other, this could be a unwelcome move.
But if it does go down as above, the old contact details on your boarding pass before you split is the best way. It led to some short and long relationships for me, so it seems to help get over the issue that most crew feel it's a bit risky for them (in terms of their employment) to be the first to offer their contact details in order to get together, once off the plane.
Remember, keep it classy lol.
Well, I wonder if anyone wants phone number of flight attendants in U.S. Airlines. Most of them are not physically attractive...
My mom was a FA during the "golden age" of air travel during the 60s and 70s (she was one of the first African American FAs hired for her airline and stayed with them for 20+ years). She once told me a story about flirting with Muhammad Ali, so that's pretty awesome, but she has a great deal of creepo stalker stories to tell! One of her fellow FAs even had a zealous passenger show up at their hotel a few hours after the flight. #awkward
Perhaps they forget the FA's are paid to be nice and respectful while on the job. Their real personalities might be nothing you would like. Also it would be quite hard to have a real relationship with one, with all the traveling and long distances. But it could work I suppose, as my uncle did marry a FA as he always saw her on the same BA route. Though the ones saying they'll die/cry etc come on its like theyve never dated before.
During the flight back from Tokyo to Los Angeles on Korean Air, a female flight attendant came to me directly. As a passenger, I had already had friendly interaction with other crew but this was the first time talking with her. She asked if I was sure I would make my connection. Knowing the layover at LAX was around 3-4 hours long, I said that there should be enough time and thanked her. Closer to landing she asked me again. To this day, I wonder if 1) she had incorrect passenger details, or 2) she wanted me to miss my connection. Probably the former but we'll never know.
Well it doesn't always have to be a fantasy. Flying from Sydney to London 4 years ago I had a wonderful flight to Singapore ( my first trip in suites class )with the most lovely of creatures I'd ever had the pleasure of meeting. So happened she was working the London -Singapore leg on my return a few weeks later and that flight was even better. I gave her my email address expecting nothing and was suprised when she emailed me.We have been married for over two years and our first child is due in October.
Wow, that first letter / comment actually sounded like a romantic novel, I want it to continue!
Same here, I get searches (but not comments) looking for flight attendants, and I even had one reader email me (very nicely) asking tips how to approach flight attendants.
I should probably direct him to this post 😉
Lucky, how does the assignments of flight attendants work? If they are based on an outer station (i.e. JFK) they will probably just work on the JFK-HUB route. But if they are based on the company hub, can they be assigned to any route or they are kept on a specific route for some time before being assigned to another?
These are frankly quite disturbing. They read like posts on an MRA forum more than anything else.
The last one sounds a bit strange...the FA cried when he left the plane because she wanted to marry him, and it was the first time they met...did I get this right? (english is not my mother tongue)
I think everyone once met/saw a hot/cute FA in the plane and started dreaming of how it would be....as they "have" to be nice to you, I think it is easy to sometimes misinterpret also.
Those are too funny. Poorly socialized people get the craziest ideas when they get out in public. Here's an idea, ask her for her phone number while she's talking to you? If you are too weak sauce for that, give her your number/business card and wait for her to call you or not. Really, these are service people at work, so your success rate is likely to not be very high.
@ gobluetwo
MRA= Mens' Rights Activists. It's this toxic brew of misogyny and frustration with what they perceive to be a loss of male privilege as women achieve more equality in the world. Elliot Rodger, the guy who went on the murderous rampage at USCB last year, was heavily influenced by the MRA movement. I wouldn't recommend reading their forums unless you want to see some pretty vile rants against women.
@ Carlos -- They do typically get a variety of routes, and not just one. But really does depend on airline, as they all have different methods for assigning routes.
I handeled my phone number to a european First class FA at the end of the flight, and WORKED :p
I'm writing this from her livingroom, seriously.
This people is just normal people. Just as you. And will react to a fact the same way as you will.
We had 4 vacations toghether in the last 6 months including HKG, Mexico, New York, Boston and Thiland.
You can say we're doing ok 😉
Lucky, if you have Paul's contact details, have an interview with him, it would make an awesome article.
Wait whaaaaatt?
"(she’s lovely, but I don’t lean that way)"
Lucky are you playing on my team?
If so, that is the second revelation this month after ThePointsGuy's Brian decides to randomly drop in "My boyfriend" like 3 times in a trip report!
I met a US Airways flight attendant at Phillips Restaurant in Baltimore June 28th 2015. It was a chance encounter. Usually there is no place to park around Baltimore inner harbor, however as luck would have it I found a spot right in front of the restaurant. It was an hour wait to dine so they seated me at the bar. To my left was a lady and after complaining about the wait, she acknowledge that she was waiting to be seated and it was obvious she was alone. I asked her if I could share her table for which she agreed. We had a lovely conversation, shared pictures of our children and even shared our food. We laughed and enjoyed each other. I treated her to the dinner for sharing her table for which she was appreciative and proceeded to leave. She asked is that it, at least can I give you a hug? We hugged very tightly and I left. I did not ask for her number because in my heart I felt something but as Andy Grammer song "Honey I'm good" I got somebody at home and I tried to remain true. However, I am kicking myself because it feels like even though we just met, I left a good friend knowing that I will mostly never see her again. It's been more than two weeks and she is still on my mind. I ask her to look me up anytime she is in Baltimore, but I did not give her my contact information. Now I want to find her and start a friendship. I know her first name. What are my chances of contacting her?
