Passenger Asks for More Milk, Flight Attendant Freezes When the Woman Hands Her a Secret Note

Even though there are some people who get nervous about flying, most people (especially flight attendants who travel often) don’t expect anything out-of-the-ordinary to happen while onboard a plane. In fact, a lot of us are probably guilty of dozing off during the emergency demonstrations. However, Raquel Vingard experienced something that no flight attendant ever wants to experience. Below, we will be discussing the story of how one crumpled note changed her views on flying forever.

Meet Raquel Vingard

For as long as Raquel could remember, travel had been her passion. When she was younger, she would dream of visiting unique locations around the world, drawn to the adventure and anticipation of the unknown. She had always wanted to visit the biggest cities, such as Paris and New York. After graduating high school, her mother suggested that she look for a job that incorporated travel. Without any hesitation, Raquel decided that she wanted to become a flight attendant, as she would then be able to see the world while taking care of others, which was another big passion of hers.

Meet Raquel Vingard

After completing her training, Vingard immediately settled into her new job. She loved everything about what she did and knew that she had made the right decision. For a few years, everything went smoothly. However, things were about to change when she reached her 500th career flight.

Nervous

When she woke up on the morning of her next flight, she felt more nervous than usual. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something felt different. Even though she sometimes still got a bit nervous before every flight, she couldn't help but notice the uncomfortable knot in her stomach. Regardless, she dressed in the morning and prepared for the long day ahead. She also wanted to make the best impression on her crew and the passengers, so she did her best to put her uncomfortable energy behind her. Raquel was incredibly passionate about hospitality, which is why her career choice fitted her so well.

Nervous

She chalked her nervousness up to the fact that this was to be her 500th flight. She couldn't believe just how quickly time had gone. Raquel fondly remembered her first career flight and how nervous she had been. It honestly seemed like just the other day.

Her Fellow Crew Members

As Raquel arrived at the airport, she was excited to see her fellow crew members standing at the boarding gate. She had flown with a few of them many times before and knew just how good they were at their jobs. Seeing them instantly made her feel a bit more relaxed. She greeted them and was congratulated by everyone for the major career milestone that she was about to reach. It was nice to know that she had the perfect team of crew members on her side.

Her Fellow Crew Members

As they boarded the plane and put their luggage away, Raquel finally started to feel more like herself. She reminded herself that this was going to be an easy flight: just over 4 hours from Sacramento to Detroit. She had flown this route plenty of times before. In fact, she had once worked a 16-hour flight, meaning that this one should be a piece of cake.

Greetings

As the boarding process began, Raquel stood at the door alongside Phil, her fellow steward. She did her best to hide her nerves behind a smile, greeting the passengers, helping them find their seats, and safely storing their luggage. There was always so much to do before takeoff - Raquel actually found it the most stressful part of the job. She was so busy while the plane began to fill up that she almost forgot about the unsettling feeling in her stomach. However, it was still there, nagging away at the back of her mind.

Greetings

Like always, Raquel made an effort to keep an eye out for any passengers who needed an extra bit of attention during the flight. Unfortunately, there seemed to be quite a few on this particular flight. Maybe it wouldn't be as easy as she had hoped.
