First time getting hit on
Ok, so I consider myself a good looking guy, but looks like I am flying the wrong airline. I was getting Starbucks in BOS UAL/AC terminal where a FA for UAL was infront of me, eyeing me I noticed. As I was putting a sugar in my Late, he asked "Where are you going to?" I honestly had to think for a LONG while as I didn't go to bed last night and just came to the airport (4am) and said YYZ. He said "thru ORD?" I said "No, on AC."
That was a first time EVER i had been hit on by a FA. I think I need to give my biz to UA.

Infact, I've even asked that question to women before! Gosh, must be more careful, or else they might think I'm hitting on them!

Did he really ask "through ORD"?
In iCorpRoadie's defense, in America, if someone at the airport other than a check-in agent asks someone else where you're going and you've had no prior interaction, you're suddenly up around 90% probability that someone's getting hit on--especially if it's two males and even more so if one is an FA and the other a pax.
Now, if I've decided to get friendly with an FA, it's usually once we're already in flight, so the "where are you going" ruse is a pretty lame opener. "Where are you going next?" works fairly well.

Must be something about coffee!
(Probably 10 years ago now) I was getting coffee from a cart at the SF Marriott, and a Lufthansa cabin crew member looked me up and down and said "oh why can't we be checking in instead of checking out?"
Alas, there was no time to do anything. He had to get on the shuttle with the rest of the crew.

That definitely sounds flirtatious to me, although usually I'm too dense to realize when I'm being flirted with myself.
I don't really have any experience with FAs getting friendlier than their job requires them to, but I do have to say that when I flew Icelandair the summer before last, they had the highest number of attractive male FAs I've ever seen on one plane before. Come to think of it, the female FAs were all gorgeous too.

The Outcome was that I boraded my AC EMB175 in J class and had a nice breakfast with baileys/coffee on my way to Toronto and had an enjoyable flight. No I did not swap numbers with him as I am way to particular and I was not boarding the BOS-ORD Flight he was on. I was a bit in shock at the moment, not sure why since when I am at a bar, I can chat it up with anyone, guess I neede my drink's to get it on. lol.
