I flew CDG-FCO on AZ (ITA Airways) last week, so roughly 2h flight.
A young lady/woman brought a small box of chocolates (Ferrero Rocher, probably worth $10 or 10 euros) and gave it to the Business Class flight attendant.
He thanked and asked her seat #. She sat in Economy and I think the FA brought her one of those tiny bottles of Prosecco or wine.

Sorry - Here was my answer…. Do not drink wine, do not need anything. Just see it on social media and thought maybe it was a thing. Maybe not! Thanks!

Ouch, I make cute crafts. Thought it was an idea because I keep seeing it mentioned in the various FB groups I am on.

Yes, we should be courteous to flight attendants and follow their directions when within their realm—but gifting them little goodies for doing their job? That is just silly.

Thanks for your feedback.
