Flights see cabin crew working up and down the length of the plane to look after passengers. While they can often simply speak to one another they also use a secret code to communicate. Hand gestures come in particularly useful when trying to convey a message to a flight attendant at the other end of the aircraft. EasyJet cabin crew have revealed what a certain strange gesture means during a flight.
Flights: easyJet cabin crew hand gestures mean this secret code during a flight
If you spot a flight attendant tucking in their arms and flapping to mimic a chicken, there is a rational explanation.
This simple move, in fact, conveys to another cabin crew member that they are in need of a chicken caesar baguette, easyJet crew revealed in a video.
Such an action is likely to be used as the food trolley travels up the aircraft aisle and they need to indicate to someone in the galley the food order to be heated and served.
They will also hold up a number of fingers to show how many baguettes they will need.
The food-related hand gestures don’t stop there, however, the easyJet flight attendants revealed.
If they make a ’T” signal with both hands and then do a stirring motion it means they are after tomato soup.
