Flight attendant reveals nickname cabin crew may give you that means they think you're attractive

If you find yourself taking to the skies quite often, you may have got used to all the chatter from the flight attendants around you - but there's one word you should definitely listen out for.

It's getting to that time of year where you start scouring holiday and airline websites for some killer deals, or if you've planned enough ahead, you might be the ones setting off sooner rather than later.

From pre-holiday airport pints to getting to your exotic destination, or even just having a break from the UK for a while, a trip away is always a positive for those of us in the working world.

But when it comes to travel and airports, there's a lot that people are told to remember nowadays.

From measures you should try to take before taking off to being wary of how you get onto a plane, it can get a bit overwhelming.

But when it comes to leaving the plane once you get to your destination, a flight attendant has explained that a certain code word that they use onboard may actually be a good thing.

You may know that 'cheerio' could signal that they have a secret crush on a passenger, but it turns out that there's more to it than that.

Frequent flyers in particular might want to keep an ear out, as one flight attendant via eShores told Huffington Post that 'Bob' actually holds a significant meaning with those working on the plane.

While some words are serious, this one has a more playful meaning, simply standing for 'babe on board'.

“If you hear them refer to someone as ‘Bob’, they are using the secret acronym ‘babe on board’,” they revealed.

Adding to this point, they went on: “We always run back to the galley and let the rest of the crew know where the sexy passenger is sat, we will be extra nice to them and give them freebies.”

They even admitted that phone numbers had 'definitely' been given out on napkins - scandalous.

That's not all though, because apparently cabin crew could even choose to party with you, if you're cool enough.

The source explained that airline crew 'love partying' with certain passengers, citing Las Vegas as a popular destination for this to unfold.

They added: “Numbers are always exchanged on a flight so be brave and ask a flight attendant out, because they may just say ‘yes’ and know the best spots to go!”

This may not even be through a romantic connection though, as even if you strike up a platonic friendship with flight attendants, it's worth asking them to go on a night out, according to the source.

If you're feeling up for it, why not?
