How to tell if cabin crew fancy you: Airline worker shares secret word used to signal that they think passenger is attractive
- Cabin crew members have revealed the does they use to find potential suitors
- If you overhear the word ‘Cheerio’ on board it may mean you have an admirer
Cabin crew have a lot to put up with – difficult passengers, screaming kids, tight working quarters, not to mention long journeys.
One way to pass the time is by spotting potential suitors on board, and according to a UK plane forum, cabin crews have been doing this for years.
An anonymous cabin crew member revealed flight attendants have a secret code to secretly reveal their crushes.
Every time a cabin crew member spots an attractive passenger, they simply have to say ‘Cheerio’.
If a cabin crew member waves goodbye while saying ‘Cheerio’, they’re not just being police. According to an airline worker, this could mean they’re attracted to you
Of course, they must keep it professional and will only say the word with a straight face as passengers exit the aircraft.
The mysterious user LTN330 explained: ‘There’s the cheerio game you can play when passengers disembark.
‘When you’re standing there going ‘buh-bye, thank you, take care’ etc when you see someone you fancy, you say ‘cheerio’.’
‘You need to do it with a buddy and the challenge is to keep a straight face.’
Another flight attendant previously revealed her own crew’s special code to signal an attractive passenger.
In an interview with Yahoo, cabin member Emily Witkop said: ‘I recall for a few years there was a ‘hot coffee’ code among flight attendants.
‘You would say, ‘I’ve got hot coffee in 3B!’ Which meant there was an extremely attractive passenger in that particular seat who the other flight attendants should check out.’
Cabin crew have a number of secret codes, including the term ‘HR’ – which could mean there’s an extra passenger on board

Meanwhile, Owen Beddall, former cabin crew member and author of Confesions of a Qantas Flight Attendant, said his crew referred to their crushes as ‘Bob’ meaning ‘best on board’.
It turns out, cabin crew have a whole range of secret codes, some more cynical than others.
According to a Reddit thread, the code has a sensitive meaning, as user /mrmiguez explained: ‘A lot of freight gets shipped on commercial flights.
‘One of these items was always called HR on the radios. HR was an abbreviation for ‘Human Remains’.
‘Some people die far away from where they want to get buried. They’re packed in wood-framed boxes, so you would never know what was inside except by the strange shape of them.’
So next time you overhear the word HR on a flight, just beware there may be another passenger on board.
