A recent survey of 3,000 cabin crew has revealed some of the strange and down-right weird requests made of them. Yes, someone really did want to book a massage for a doll.
Virgin Atlantic staff say the most common crazy requests they hear at 35,000 feet are; 'please can you open the window?' and 'can you show me to the showers?'
But other less frequent stupid questions include the passengers who asked for the captain to stop the turbulence and turn the engines down because they are too noisy. Thankfully they didn't get their request.
