Are you being spied on?
An ex-Emirates flight attendant shared why — and how — she spied on passengers during their trips.
Marika Mikusova worked for the Arabic airline for five years and has previously revealed trade secrets — and wild times — in her three “Diary of a Flight Attendant” books.
She recently told the Daily Mail that she and her colleagues were “required to ‘peep at’ passengers” every 30 minutes “to make sure they are alive and breathing.”
She clarified that the “peeping” only applies to first-class suites because the separate cubicles are almost completely private.
“The business-class seats are open, so there is no need for such a special – though privacy-invading – treatment,” Mikusova said.
“Crew are generally asked to be vigilant and know what’s happening in cabins during the whole flight,” she added.
Mikusova shared that flight attendants assess all passengers from the second they board the plane until they deplane to “prevent any escalation of a possible problem,” like a medical emergency or unruly flyers.
“We do it during service and throughout the whole flight, to see if passengers are all right,” she explained.
Mikusova revealed there once was a horny duo who did get too “frisky” and had to be stopped.
“We had a couple that put on quite a show right outside our galley. We knew about it and kept an eye on them from a distance, ready to jump in any moment should the ‘frisky’ behavior get more friskier,” she recounted.
The crew eventually did have to suppress the steamy session when it was taken too far as the man sucked on the woman’s lip and pressed her dramatically against the galley.
“We had to intervene and send them back to their seats. Then we kept a watch over them,” Mikusova said.
“From time to time, we’d walk by and discreetly check on them just in case they decided to continue under the blanket,” she continued.
“If you are caught, you can get in trouble for this, especially if you fly with Arabic airlines.”
However, flight attendants don’t typically enjoy having to watch everyone.
“We love it when the service is finally done and the passengers are well fed and ready to sleep,” Mikusova said.
