KNOW| "Indians order vegetarian meals, Chinese carry their own teacups"

Board a flight for Kazakhstan and you'll notice a few things you won't see on other flights. The compartments will be full of boxes and large suitcases, and a number of drunk passengers will keep asking the flight attendants for more drinks.



"Passengers from Korea to Kazakhstan have some unique characteristics," says a flight attendant. "They buy a lot of clothes and living necessities from Korea and they like drinking liquor."

Here, flight attendants describe the special qualities of flights to various cities around the world.

The atmosphere on flights to Las Vegas can be quite academic because of the number of international conferences and seminars held there.

The atmosphere on flights to Hong Kong and Singapore can be similar to those to Las Vegas. That's because finance workers use those routes to travel to the international financial hubs.

Flights from Seoul to the U.S. before and after vacations are like a school bus, say flight attendants. These routes are fully booked by children studying in the U.S. and their parents.

Some flights on Korean airlines tend to attract large groups of foreigners. In particular, Indian and Chinese passengers who transit at Incheon International Airport often board Korean airlines to reach San Francisco and Australia and New Zealand.

Flight attendants say each nationality has its own distinct characteristics. For example, Indians tend to order vegetarian meals on-board, and Chinese carry their own individual teacups.

KNOW| Going gets tougher for airlines

Dark clouds seem to be looming large for domestic airlines as equity funding becomes difficult to find. Input costs are mounting, even as the airlines try to expand and consolidate at the same time.

The result is a fall in return on capital, and it is not surprising that private equity players and strategic investors are steering clear of taking an equity exposure to the business. Industry officials said most carriers operating domestically are still in need of funds to pay for increasing working capital requirements.

A day in the life of a flight attendant

A day in the life of a flight attendant by David Silverstein
A day on the job. For a flight attendant that could mean...a trip to Paris...or an emergency landing. It can be fun, an adventure, or both...but is it work?
