VIDEO: 'Kissing, vaping and...drinking coffee' Flight attendant reveals surprising things she’s not allowed to do in uniform
A flight attendant has revealed the surprising things she’s not allowed to do in uniform.
Barbara Bacilieri, known online as Barbie Bac, worked as a flight attendant for 14 years.
Now a travel influencer, the 33-year-old revealed five things she’s banned from doing while wearing the airline’s colours.
Barbara said: “Kissing and public displays of affection are prohibited.
“We’re also banned from smoking, whether tobacco or vape pens.”
And for any cabin crew member who has recently quit smoking, they aren’t allowed to chew gum either.
And that includes “blowing bubbles” with the gum, she said.
Barbara, who has 4.9m TikTok fans and 2.9m YouTube subscribers, said flight attendants have to be careful about where they drink tea or coffee.”
She also told What's The Jam: “Drinking coffee at the boarding gate is also forbidden.
“And of course, alcohol is strictly prohibited”, she said, “but water isn't denied to anyone.”
Barbara, who comes from Argentina and lives in Spain, also revealed that flight attendants are sizing up the passengers from the moment they step on the plane.
She said: “When you board the plane and we greet you with a smile, we're actually assessing you in seconds.
“While we say ‘welcome’ or ‘hello’, we're observing if you’re walking with any difficulty.
“We’re checking if you're nervous or apparently under the influence of alcohol.
“Whether you're travelling with babies or people who might need assistance.”
She added: “And also if you could be helpful in an emergency, for example, if you seem strong or have medical training.”
In a previous video, Barbara said she serves passengers water in sec.
