Flight Attendant Vocabulary 3

General vocabulary practice for cabin crew — English for in-flight situations and passenger communication.

Vocabulary in context

Passengers on a long-haul flight are, in a sense, temporarily under your care. They're in a pressurised metal tube moving at 900 kilometres per hour, they can't leave, and for most of them you're the main English-speaking point of contact for hours at a time. That's a particular kind of responsibility — and it comes with a particular vocabulary. This exercise focuses on the language of in-flight communication: describing meals and drinks, managing sleep and comfort requests, handling turbulence with calm authority, and navigating the small dramas that happen when hundreds of people share a confined space for a very long time. The words in this exercise are the ones that keep a flight feeling controlled and pleasant.
