Ordering a drink on the plane does not make the staff happy.

At flight altitude, it poses some problems for the crew.

Frankfurt - For many travelers, a drink on board is simply part of it.

Some people have enough water, others swear by tomato juice, which is known to taste better above the clouds than on the ground.

It usually only takes a few moments for tomato juice, water or tea to be brought to the airfield by the aircraft crew and the thirst to be quenched.

Usually.

Because there is one drink that a lot of people love, just not the flight crew.

In general, there is a large selection of drinks when traveling by air.

In addition to tomato juice, coffee is also popular, for example.

According to a stewardess, however, when flying, you should keep your hands off the hot drink and grab drinks from bottles or cans instead.

But there are also big differences there.

A special soft drink causes stewardesses and stewards particularly big problems.

Unpopular drink among the flight crew of vacation pilots - pouring becomes a feat

We're talking about Diet Coke.

According to a report by “Welt”, the soft drink not only delays service.

It's also awkward to serve.

Nevertheless, it is regularly ordered by passengers.

In the worst case, they have to wait longer than everyone else for refreshment.

This has already been confirmed by the American stewardess Heather Poole.

"Of all the drinks we serve, Diet Coke takes the most time to pour," says her blog.

In the time she pours a Diet Coke, she could serve three passengers a drink.

But why does it take so long to pour a Diet Coke?

Soda drinks foam far more on the plane than on the ground.

This is due to the low air pressure in the machine.

In addition, the beverage cans and bottles are sometimes shaken vigorously during the flight, which also promotes foaming.

Like Cola Zero, however, Diet Coke is a special case.

The order: "A Diet Coke please" can therefore cause flight attendants to roll their eyes.

Traveling by plane: it is better not to order a soft drink while flying

Both types of cola foam extremely.

According to “Welt”, this is due to their sugar substitutes.

But other factors can also play a role.

So said Dr.

Ulrich Krings from the Institute for Food Chemistry at the University of Hanover told the travel portal “Travelbook”: “It is possible that the amount of CO2 in this type of cola is simply higher.

In addition, it can also be due to the type of acid that is contained in the drink ”.

But there is also a trick that can be used to reduce foaming a little.

For example, ice cubes that are put in the cup can help.

The brown lemonade does not have to be poured completely in mini sips so that it does not spill over the edge.

But even then, caution is still required.

If you want to be served quickly on the plane, you should do without such soft drinks completely and use water.

Cola light can also have other unpleasant effects when flying than foaming in the glass.

If an aircraft takes off, the crew in the cabin switches off all lights *.

Likewise when landing.

This is a bit scary for the passengers, especially in the dark - but necessary.
