Vietnam Airlines flight attendants investigated for allegedly smuggling drugs from France
The four, including the cabin manager Nguyen Thanh Thuy, 37, were put under custody Friday morning shortly after flight VN10, which they served, touched down at Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Their arrest came after customs officials found drugs hidden inside toothpaste tubes that were found in their hand luggage. Police identified the drugs as ecstasy and synthetic drugs. Altogether, the four had carried 10 kilograms of drugs from France to Vietnam. Questioned by the police, the four attendants appeared to be shocked. They said when in France, a person, whose identity has yet to be revealed by the police, asked them to carry some packages in their hand luggage. The person allegedly paid the four of them VND10 million (US$422). As they were all "exhausted" after a long flight, they said they did not check the package carefully and did not notice any abnormal signs. The flight attendants said the package got through customs in France without any problems and only when … [Read more...] about Vietnam Airlines flight attendants investigated for allegedly smuggling drugs from France

The scary secret that affects loads of flight attendants
WHEN passengers get on a plane, they often look to us, the flight attendants, to be calmed down. A lot of people think that if the cabin crew are acting normally, then everything's alright, but the truth is, a lot of us aren't doing as well as we might appear. In this my weekly blog for Sun Online Travel, I'll reveal just how bad a lot of us are at being on planes, when really we should know much better. The truth is that a lot of us are afraid of flying , believe it or not. I know it sounds daft, but it still scares a fair few of us. When I started out, I used to be really scared of it, particularly of turbulence , and I'm far from the only one.

Woman reveals the ‘gross’ thing she does on flights – despite experts warning not to
A TRAVEL expert has revealed a controversial opinion on passenger etiquette that very few people will agree with. Every day people annoy one another on flights, as they get trapped next to strangers with strange personal habits for hours at a time. One of the main problems that frequently arises is around feet and whether passengers should remove their shoes and socks . It's generally agreed that removing shoes is a bad idea, while removing socks is a definite faux pas, for many reasons. However, Sarah James, deputy digital director of Condé Nast Traveller has a difference of opinion. While she said she would prefer to keep her own socks on, she's got no problem with other people taking them off, as long as they don't invade her seating area.

Millionaire tech tycoon breaks silence after making ‘creepy’ £80,000 offer to female passenger on flight
A TECH tycoon who offered a woman £80,000 to take her face mask off on a flight has broken his silence after being branded a "creep". Millionaire Steve Kirsch, 67, insisted the incident was merely a "friendly" exchange to see how much her Covid morals were worth. He landed himself in hot water last Friday after detailing the strange interaction with a fellow first-class passenger on a Delta Airlines flight. In a Twitter thread, Kirsch proudly claimed he had offered the woman sitting next to him $100,000 (£82,700) to take off her mask . The US entrepreneur is a well-known Covid and vaccine sceptic, who has been accused of spreading "misinformation" online about the pandemic. He posted a smiling selfie and explained he was somewhat baffled that his bizarre proposition had been rejected, despite him drastically bumping up his original £80 bid.
