    Oped, Saritdet Marukatat, Published on 14/03/2024

    » A passenger on a flight TG652 had to ask crew members twice for a sandwich and Coke after waking up from a short sleep which made him miss the inflight service. When one of the attendants handed him the snack, he asked her again for Coke. The cabin staff looked annoyed and told him that he should have told her from the beginning that he wanted both so that she could have done it in one trip instead of two.
