Flight attendants often have secret tricks and hacks that they use to make a long plane journey easier.
From which passengers they hate the most to what they do when no-one is looking, the life of a cabin crew member can be fascinating.
They have admitted to also doing much more nefarious activities when onboard to make a bit of extra cash.
A survey by Jetcost.co.uk asked flight attendants from Britain, France, Spain, Germany and Italy whether they ever short-change passengers when giving them back some money after a purchase,
with one in five admitting to having done it.
More than 54 per cent admit to doing it by giving passengers their change back in a foreign currency so as to confuse them.
Another 40 per cent said it was also because "most passengers don’t check their change".
It also revealed which nationality was the worst, with German flight attendants pocketing the most.
They’re knowingly pocketing the money that should be going back to the customer and are therefore stealing

The average amount they received per year from keeping the change was a whopping £410.
Although Britain wasn't far behind, with an average of £331 per year, working out to approximately £27 per month.
This was followed by Spain (£121 per year), France (£90 per year), and Italy (£75 per year).
Jetcost.co.uk co-founder Antoine Michelat commented on the results: "They may think it’s OK by passing it off as the odd 20p here and 50p there, but that’s still money that’s not rightfully
yours and belongs to someone else.
"They’re knowingly pocketing the money that should be going back to the customer and are therefore stealing."
One thing they aren't allowed to use, unlike passengers, are earplugs.
Often used to drown out the plane noise or crying babies, they are prohibited from doing so in case of an emergency.
They must always be aware of any warnings or announcements to be ready to help the rest of the crew.
