Someone emailed me a link to an article titled "How to Pick Up a Flight Attendant" and found it interesting.

What do people think about this topic? Maybe some of the actual F/As on FT can comment on the subject.

1. Make a great first impression by dressing neatly, instead of going for comfort with sweat pants and flip-flops like many fliers do. Additionally, you can gain immediate credibility by spending the extra cash or using up your frequent-flier miles to book your flight in first class.

2. Get the flight attendant to take notice of you, warming her up before you go for the pickup. Smile, be friendly and try to join in light conversation. Because most fliers tend to ignore flight attendants until they need something, your outgoing personality will quickly catch her eye.

3. Take any opportunity to help her out. For example, if she is struggling to fit someone's oversize carry-on into the overhead compartment, jump up from your seat and offer to help.

4. Flirt a little, but not so much that she finds you annoying or even threatening. Make eye contact now and then, be polite saying please and thank you. While you want your interest to be obvious, you don't want to come off as desperate.

5. Remember that flight attendants risk losing their jobs by accepting a date with a client while working. So, instead of directly trying to pick her up while she is surrounded by co-workers and clients, simply slip her a business card on your way off the plane. If desired, you might add a short note to the back of the card. Avoid the temptation to verbally pick her up, as you are sure to get a solid no.

Many of them are a bit to heavy to pick up, unless I have one of those weightlifter belts.

I'd try to pick up an SQ FA anytime (obviously dreaming here), but UA or US ....
