UA - ~30 seconds
AC - no response
On some flights I don’t need to press the call button, because FAs are very proactive, and on some flights I don’t need to press the call button either, because, there is no response…
After the meal service, or even after the drink service, I can usually sense if I should bother to press the call button or not, especially on airlines I am familiar with.
