An ex flight attendant has revealed some of the industry's "best kept secrets" about First Class travel.
Kat Kamalani, who previously worked for Delta Airlines, said the majority of flight crew don't like working in the premier section.
In a TikTok video, the mum-of-two, who changed jobs after the Covid pandemic struck, said she and her colleagues rarely volunteered for the role despite the extra pay.
Kat said there is an added amount of detail and pressure which goes into ensuring the First Class passenger experience is perfect, reports the Daily Star.
First of all, she explained flight attendants have a separate meeting before departure to go through who their special guests will be.
She says: "Before every single flight we have something that's called a briefing and in that briefing we're given a sheet of any government official, celebrities, any 'million milers' or diamonds.
"It also gives us anything that deals with allergies or disabilities."
'Million Milers' and 'Diamonds' are special status passengers who have achieved among the highest number of air miles with Delta Airlines.
Kat adds: "If it's a longer flight there is going to be a meal prepared and it's going to be put on the flight for us.
"Side note, if you have a dietary restriction or allergy make sure you put that [on your booking] before because we don't have a full working kitchen.
"If you made a special request beforehand, we will deliver that first, and depending on the flight number, we will take everyone's order from back to front or front to back and distribute the food.
"Most of the time, the person who is working First Class is the flight leader and they call the shots – after the pilots of course."
The video was watched more than 37,000 times since Kat uploaded it on her @katkamalani TikTok on Tuesday (January 11).
One viewer said: "Oh wow this is cool."
A second viewer asked: "So if we all pay the same price for First Class, what difference does it make if I’m a celebrity or gov official or not?"
Kat frequently makes videos about her time as an air hostess and has explained why putting your seat up and tray down when you are told can be a "life and death" situation.
