Give a Treat to Your Flight Attendant

Kindness doesn’t have to be big or complicated to matter.

On our last flight, Auntie and Ruby brought along a small baggie of Hershey’s Kisses and handed it to our flight attendant as we boarded. No speech. No explanation. Just a simple “thank you.”

Flight attendants spend hours taking care of others, often dealing with delays, stressed passengers, and nonstop demands. A small gesture—especially one given with intention—can change their entire day.

Other Easy Ways to Show Kindness While Traveling

If you’re flying soon, here are a few ideas you can try:

• Bring a small treat (wrapped candy, granola bars, or chocolate) to share

• Write a short thank-you note and hand it over when you board – or use one of Ruby’s Kindness Cards!

• Make eye contact and say a sincere “thank you for being here today”

• Compliment something specific—a calm presence, a kind voice, a smile

• Be patient during delays and offer grace instead of frustration

None of these cost much. All of them matter.

Kindness doesn’t need an audience. It just needs a moment—and a willing heart.

Sometimes, it looks like a handful of chocolate at 30,000 feet. 🍫💛
