When the Crew Says, “Check the Galley” – A Surprise Gift Pays It Forward
What’s Going on?
Picture this: you’re cruising back to Singapore, humming to the in‑flight playlist, when a crew member spots you and says, “Come on over to the galley.” Why? Usually it’s for refreshments, a quick check‑in, or a small favor. But on Tuesday, May 17, one passenger’s experience turned into a sweet little surprise.
Meet Naseem Huseni
- Age: 57 (the seasoned veteran of the skies)
- Background: Former cabin crew, now a loyal passenger who’s seen the sky from both sides
- Stance: “Nice to me, she gets a ‘nice’ and it pays back!”
The Gift That Gave Her Smiles
Inside the galley, Glen Jariel, a flight steward, handed Naseem a deck card featuring a couple of playful cats chasing a toy plane. The card read, “Thank you for flying with us, Ms. Naseem.” Very little, but the gesture spoke volumes.
What’s the Reason Behind the Rant!
When asked, Naseem shared that her previous stint as cabin crew taught her how flight attendants appreciate a respectful passenger. She spends a lot of time in service jobs (“for eons”), so she knows when a bit of gratitude earns a kind word in return.
How the Airline Got Involved
Singapore Airlines (SIA) had to react! They replied on Facebook, thanking her for sharing. “Could we get more details at singaporeair.com/feedback‑form so we can share your compliments with the crew?”
In response, Naseem shot back, “Sure—I’ll send a proper compliment letter. The crew on board were great, too.” She added that management needs to hear about their hard work. Sending a thank‑you note? “That’s the thing the airline loves, it’s like giving their hearts a tune.”
Takeaway: Small Acts Create Big Journeys
When an airline marvels at a passenger’s kindness, it sends ripples of positivity to the crew. And for passengers, a small surprise can turn a regular flight into an uplifting memory that lingers back on the ground.
