Flight attendants hate Diet Coke. If that is your drink of choice I am surprised you haven't been snarled at more often.

I flew BA YYZ-LHR return in Y for the first time in 15 years this spring. Completely out of my hands - contract bought tickets.
I can tell you it was they were both the worsts flight experiences I have had ever! You think AC's sardine cans will be awful (and they will be) try BA's 747 in Y effing claustrophobic. I don't think I've been jammed in such a small space for so long ever. The food was uneatable, the crew surley and the service very poor. They lost my bags on the way there, commercial goods therefore I couldn't do what I was there for and had to stay a day longer after bags arrived. On the return there was a mechanical problem and they shut the engines down for 4 hours and wouldn't let us (we were at the gate) off or feed us. - think almost 400 people on a BA 747 in the heat, with screaming babies because they were so hot!
Anyhow, I rant! I will never fly BA again long haul ever!
(I'll lose the contract before I'll do it again)

5. DIET COKE IS OUR NEMESIS
Of all the drinks we serve, Diet Coke takes the most time to pour—the fizz takes forever to settle at 35,000 feet. In the time it takes me to pour a single cup of Diet Coke, I can serve three passengers a different beverage. So even though giving cans to first-class passengers is a big no-no, you’ll occasionally spy 12 ounces of silver trimmed in red sitting up there.
