A flight attendant has revealed the most annoying thing travellers do when embarking on long-haul flights. Skye Taylor, 49, from Southampton, spent 17 years working as a stewardess, starting out at low-cost airlines to eventually work her way up the career ladder and land a job at Virgin Atlantic.

However, after hanging up her wings a little over a year ago, Ms Taylor is sharing secrets from her previous line of work. Now, she has shared what behaviour from flyers is her biggest 'bug bear' her most on long-haul flights - only it is far more wholesome than you think.
She said that she feels bad on a long flight if passengers avoid uncomfortable speaking to cabin crew out of social anxiety or fear of awkwardness. Skye said: 'If you've got a long long flight don't stay silent. I would rather someone come up to me and say 'I'm cold can you get me an extra blanket or can you turn up the air con' than sit there and be cold the whole flight. That's my biggest bug bear.
'I'll always just check with people as well, 'are you warm enough', you know, it's just a polite thing to do. 'You know what it's like on a train, I'm terrible on a train, they're either freezing us to death, and I think its the same when you're doing a long haul flight.
'People are not used to that on their body, for us, we don't ever really get used to it, but we're more equipped to deal with it. 'And I just think, no, please don't. I couldn't imagine somebody sitting there for 10 hours and being so cold.'. She added that, in her experience, the temperature on board the aircraft can vary.
