Holiday Season - gift fight crew?
I was boarding my flight today and someone brought a box of chocolates for the flight crew. This made me feel a little guilty. Why? The holiday season you typically gift service industry people that have been with you throughout the year (doorman, shuttle/car driver, etc). Should you also gift a flight crew? I know I hardly have the same flight crew but I flew 180k UA miles this year. Which makes it my second home...almost It's seems like I should thank some crew for getting me from point A to B safe and happy most of the time. I did google search and did find topics about this. Some say yes some say no and others say edibles we need to throw out. What does UA think? The flight attendants that recieved the box of chocolates seems surprised and happy.
Any appropriate gift to give to a flight crew in appreciation for a year of travel?
