What should a flight attendant do if they notice a passenger is feeling unwell?

When a flight attendant notices a passenger feeling unwell, seeking assistance from another crew member is the most appropriate response. This ensures that the situation is handled efficiently and safely, leveraging the collective training and resources available to the crew.

By involving another crew member, the flight attendant can share observations and, if necessary, assess the situation more thoroughly while maintaining a calm environment. This collaborative approach not only provides support to the affected passenger but also helps in evaluating the need for medical assistance or other resources without adding stress or confusion.

Other options like ignoring the situation or asking the passenger to leave the flight could lead to serious consequences, such as deteriorating health for the passenger or safety concerns for others onboard. Making a public announcement for medical help might be warranted in some scenarios, but it should generally follow a preliminary assessment and consultation with fellow crew members to fully understand the situation. Therefore, collaborating closely with one’s team is vital in ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being during a flight.
