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.

Not all the crews’ signals are about food - they can also pertain to passengers themselves, the easyJet employees said. For instance, if the hold up their open hands above their heads to look like antlers, it signals there is a stag party on board the plane.

Flight attendant Emily Witkop told the New York Post the term “hot coffee” means cabin crew fancy a passenger. “I recall for a few years there was a ‘hot coffee’ code among flight attendants,” she said. “You would say, ‘I’ve got hot coffee in 3B!’ Which meant there was an extremely attractive passenger in that particular seat who the other flight attendants should check out.”All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
