Flight attendant reveals the worst drink to serve on a plane
A flight attendant has revealed the worst drink to serve on an airplane, and it may surprise you.
The bar service on a flight is always something that avid travellers look forward to, and is often free on long-haul trips.
Most airlines have a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available for passengers to enjoy while at 30,000 feet in the air.
However, one cabin crew member has now revealed what she considers to be the worst drink to order during a flight.
The aviation worker, who runs their own blog called These Gold Wings, told her readers exactly why the drink should be avoided.
Going by alias name 'Jet', she explained pouring fizzy drinks while in the air can be an absolute nuisance for operating crew.
The experienced staffer said how 'soft drinks foam up a lot more when poured out of a can' due to cabin pressure.
She added it means she has 'to sit and wait for the bubbles to fall before I can continue pouring'.

It can result in the drinks service being slowed down, especially on busy flights with high demand for beverages.
On flights, the cabin environment is dry due to low humidity, and with carbonated drinks not as hydrating as water, it could potentially make you thirstier in the long run.
With the cabin pressure lower in the air than on the ground, the carbonated drink gasses can also expand in your stomach, potentially leading to bloating.
While it's always nice to enjoy a glass of fizz high in the clouds, the crew member added that the best choice of drink is water to stay hydrated.
Meanwhile, a flight attendant has left social media users stunned after she revealed her 'insane' monthly earnings - despite only working part-time hours.
