"For passengers sitting near the back of the plane, however, it's much easier to slip in that second mini bottle of wine."
Flight attendant and author of FlyerTalk Amanda Pleva agreed in an interview with Sun Online Travel. "Do passengers get better service at the back of the plane? Absolutely! Usually we end up having more of a rapport with the people seated in the last row or two because we have finished our service and things have slowed down.

"I also find that people who don’t mind sitting in the back are way more easy-going. That’s no accident."
You know what to do, flyers.
