Flight attendant reveals the move that might earn you a free drink

It’s worth a shot.

Dallas-based flight attendant Cher Killough is sharing the “king” and “queen” behavior she loves to see on a flight, including one move that might score you a free drink.

She enjoys it when passengers properly store their luggage, when they check the lavatory signs before trying to enter the bathroom, and when they read the safety information card before take-off.

“No. 1 is knowing which way to put your bag into the overhead bin,” Killough, a five-year flight attendant, said in a TikTok last month that has skyrocketed with more than 329,000 views.

“Bags always go wheels in first or wheels in last unless you’re on a tiny airplane,” she continued, as she showed pics of overhead bins while noting there are exceptions to these rules. “If the bins are like this, where the flight attendant has to pull it down to close it, your bag is going to lay flat. … If the bin is like this, where the flight attendant has to push it up to close it, your bags are going to go on their side like this.”

The second all-star action is checking that the seatbelt sign is off and the lavatory light is green before trying to enter the plane’s bathroom.

“[If] the seatbelt sign’s off, now you’re going to look up and you’re going to check, is this light over here green? Green means go and red means occupied,” Killough explained as she showed a lavatory light. “Red means you’re going to be standing with your butt in my face while I’m trying to sit on my jump seat. So please, if you want to be a king or queen, wait until [this light is] green.”

And finally, Killough wishes more passengers paid attention during the safety demonstration — doing so could land you a free drink.

“I don’t care if it’s just for show — if you pull out the safety information card while I’m doing the safety demo, I feel so heard and validated that I am very likely to offer you a free drink,” Killough divulged. “Very few people do it, and that is supreme king and queen energy.”

In the comments section, TikTokers thanked Killough for putting these tips on their radar.

“I don’t pull the safety card, but I remove my headphones and pretend that I have never seen a seatbelt before,” one bragged.

“Ultimate king behavior,” Killough declared.

“Am I crazy, or are more and more flights these days never [turning] the seatbelt sign off,” another TikToker wondered.

“I’ve never understood why people line up at the lav. Good tip on the card. Consider it done!” a third vowed.

In recent months, Killough has also revealed three things never to do on planes and her assumptions about you from the shoes you wear on a flight.
