Flight Attendant Life - WE HAD TWO MEDICAL EMERGENCIES OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN 😱✈️

[@NoitsBecky.]

Kat could you please keep doing these "kat talks" at the end where you gave us story time and a learning tip for flights! I'm a very nervous flyer constantly trying to overcome my fear. I felt so more at ease just now when you described training yall receive, safety, etc. Anyways! Thank you!

[@kelil1750]

Agreed!! Especially since some of us have not flown in quite sometime. Thank you for another great video.

[@candlegirl1973]

I totally agree!! I have only flown 1 time(round trip) I was so nervous!! But I knew that if I turned that air off that the outcome wouldn't be a pleasant one so I let that air blow right on my face to keep me from wanting to pass out and to keep me cool. Your tips help me alot...especially if I ever decide to fly again.

[@juliewilliams4068]

I flew by myself for the first time ( I have flown before) it was so reassuring to me knowing that the FA on board where there for my safety. Thank you Kat, I agree for more Ted talks with Kat. ✈️✈️

[@NoitsBecky.]

Or "kat chats" 😊

[@lunagabriella213]

Same. Been putting off going back home to Greece since 2013 at LEAST.

[@britanification]

I was just on a flt to EZE and we had 2 medical issues on the flight also. Glad to see people step up in emergency when assistance is requested

[@sandrad3346]

Thanks for the heads-up on the medical issues you encountered on your flight. I know about not taking sleeping pills in case there is a flight emergency, but I am lax about drinking enough water on the plane because I like to minimize using the toilet facilities, especially because there is turbulence or the flight attendants are going through the aisles with the carts for meals, duty free, etc. I will try to be more mindful about keeping hydrated.

[@tammyr6669]

Hi Kat! I love your vlogs! ❤ My daughter just received her FA training start date for next month. I started watching you as soon as she had her first interview and now I'm hooked! You remind me so much of her and she is so excited for her future, as well as I am! Please keep doing what you are doing and safe travels! ❤

[@laura_n]

Thanks for the medical emergency education. I used to always not eat on flights and always felt sick but then I started accepting every drink, snack and meal when offered and realised it works and makes you feel much better by the end of a long flight. I've mostly only flown long distances between Australia and America.

[@kiwigirlll]

I’m glad everyone is ok and you were able to help. These teaching moments help us be better passengers and hopefully prevent less emergencies. 💕

[@sk-bt1gg]

when I was a flight attendant, I remember there were a lot of fainting medical cases onboard. funny how my body and my mind knows how to react to assist those passengers. Eventually everyone was ok.

[@KatNesbitt]

So glad to hear! It's crazy how fast we all just know to jump into action!

[@sk-bt1gg]

@@KatNesbitt I guess it's engraved into flight attendants how to respond immediately. nose bleeding, ear pain and fainting are quite common onboard.

[@itz_tixmmy]

I really enjoyed these South Korea vlogs! I think being able to go out would make the layover 10× better. Love you Kat! ♡

[@robinc713]

I was on a Delta flight from ATL to IAH and a passenger experienced a medical emergency. I was never more impressed with the flight attendants and crew. The aircraft had access to speak with a doctor even at 34k feet. Life saving medical equipment was on board and swiftly gathered and utilized in such a skilled way. We were given priority landing (and arrived 30 minutes early) and met with sirens and lights. Fortunately the passenger was okay. I am so thankful medical emergency is part of all Flight Attendant training and that airlines seem so prepared for medical emergencies.

[@Saphire5742]

Thank you for sharing about the medical emergencies at the end. Super important for people to know. Hopefully next time you go to Korea you actually get to leave the hotel and explore

[@annaburch3200]

Oooh! I hope you get to go back and explore Incheon more, soon! Kat! You and all of your flight attendant friends deserve all the hugs in the world!!! Such a difficult job, but I know you love it. Also, shout out to gate and ticket agents who have to deal with a lot of grumpy passengers, these days. Gate agents are non-rev passenger's heroes! ❤️

[@manuelfajardo7767]

I love Kat, she's such a Happy Kat all the time. Manny F.

The end should be its own video. Its a wonderful piece of advice, it's engaging, and it's interesting. Would be a really nice sharable video

[@ladydove45]

WOW! You hot the jackpot with those packages of coffee. Your dogs are getting so cuter each time you have them with you.

[@dbwatx931]

Had a friend who took Ambien sitting in first class woke up in Singapore with shirt off tie on and covered in Snickers wrappers. Attendants told him he was a lot of fun!

[@kms5306]

I’ve heard South Korea is full of great history and traditions and is stunningly beautiful! Hopefully next time you go you can get out and explore. 💕kolleen

[@hazellee8338]

No judgement here re coffee, I would be 100% the same. Love me a good coffee! ☕️❤️ So glad to hear the passengers on your flight were ok xx

[@tmreed]

The worst place to have a medical emergency. This happened on a flight I took from Tel Aviv to Philadelphia and from Istanbul to San Francisco. Fortunately, they were both fine.

[@KatNesbitt]

So glad to hear! The training they give us is really really good but you still never want to have a medical emergency inflight if it can be avoided with a little bit of help!

[@2themoon863]

The worst are those long flights over water-Kat, yours in this video and the poster’s two that were mentioned. Your options for nearest airports are severely limited for an emergency over large bodies of water compared to the same distance over land!

[@Novemberbaby333]

Love your personality, upbeat charm you have, love love your choice of music. Keep these videos coming. Thanks so much

[@seanmcerlean]

Defintely East Asia was a fav with me. Particularly Singapore,Hong Kong and Tokyo.

[@susieb8661]

Wow that is so smart of them to hand you a glove for the buffet. Wish places in the US would do that - especially Vegas and on cruises.

[@sarahgreen3599]

My mom fainted once on a flight from SLC to Paris. Scariest 10-15 seconds of my life. She hadn’t had enough water and didn’t have her vent on and was using a Trtl pillow so she overheated. We definitely learned our lesson

[@TheScarlettrouge]

I’m the same, I prefer hot coffee over iced coffee.

[@laurabutera749]

On vaca at Glacier National Park in Montana. But still needed my Kat fix. 2 thumbs up 👍🏻 for Wi-Fi 👏

[@ck4426]

Your videos are entertaining but even more important- they are informative and I appreciate your effort and dedication. Thank you so very much!!!

[@sixtysecondvlog]

South Korea looks amazing. It was a shame you couldn't go and explore. Glad you got some coffee to bring back and I love those Kat talks. You could save someone's life by learning stuff. always love your vlogs xx

[@quericopapa]

Hello Kat. Thank you for the wonderful videos! You are so upbeat and positive, I always enjoy watching your videos. That trip to Korea looked awesome, even though you stayed at your hotel. You made me laugh when you showed the amount of the delicious coffee you bought. You made it even funnier when you laughed at what you did...you are very funny! Thank you for the advices, you are so right. Sleeping pills and closing the air vents, sometimes people don't think twice before doing these things. I hope you getting some rest, those 14+ hours trips can be exhausting. I actually watched both videos (1 & 2) from this trip. You got me hooked up with your videos and stories. You are awesome!! Always looking forward for your next video. Stay safe and have fun! Cheers.

[@deejaystump]

Hi Kat from Hamilton New Zealand what a girl you are a joy to watch every blog you do say's a lot about who you are, be a joy to have you on any flight. Just a fun girl to watch thank you so much what you put into your blog's is so much fun to watch

[@victoriadelbando3283]

The worse feeling is when you feel faint! Good advice Kat! As a type 2 diabetic I always keep snacks with me and yes water!🥰😍🤗

[@shonnie089]

Thanks for that information about the air vents. I usually close mine but now I will adjust it or point it away from my face.

[@BubblyViolin11]

I wondered about the air vent thing. I started just pushing it away from me and it works just fine. I don’t feel as cold and so long as I have a jacket/scarf, I’m good.

[@RustySax1949]

@Kat Nesbitt - Sounds like you, JoJo, and Julia now have enough seniority to be able to do three months of line, one month of reserve. Nice goal to achieve! Cute score on the coffee, got a chuckle out of that one. With the med emergencies you had on this flight, I'm glad you mentioned that FAs receive lots of first aid training, I'm sure that helps a lot of folk who are really nervous about flying reduce some of that anxiety. I work at GEG - don't see many AA crews heading for layover hotels, y'all must do mostly turns out of this airport. But if you catch a GEG turn, and have a little "sit" time, come by the Hurts booth (intentional misspelling) and I'll treat you to a Starbucks gift card as a thank you. Cheers from GEG!

[@xindigochildx]

Hope everyone’s ok🌸

[@maryannkeith4062]

Also, hydrate so you dont' faint on arrival!!! Last fall when I took my first long haul vacay after a pandemic hiatus I didn't drink enough and almost passed out in the car rental line in Hawaii. I even had an aisle seat. Shame on me! Fully prepared to drink water like a fish on my next long haul and get up to use the lav as often as I need.

[@kirkl1575]

Simply love ya Kat! You are a breath of fresh air. ✈️🐾

Can you link your foldable insulated lunch bag? Thanks.

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

A good mix is the iced hazelnut and some banana milk! (:

[@stevecagle2317]

Another FYI that you know, Kat, but pax may not is that the "cabin altitude" of airliners is NOT sea level. They are pressurized but at cruising altitude of 30-38,000 feet, the cabin altitude can be anywhere between 4-6,000 feet. Because of the reduction in oxygen levels the effects of alcohol and sleep meds are increased. I've heard many FAs hope that liquored up boarding passengers will just pass out during climb. So, passengers need to think accordingly. ☺️

[@KatNesbitt]

Very true! Alcohol consumption impacts you differently at higher altitudes!

[@MartinLopez-ol6dm]

We have a saying at my ground school: Popsicles don’t puke. It’s gonna be cold, so wear layers if you tend to be cold

[@dawn2904]

I am the person on the flight who doesn't stay hydrated because I don't want to have to go to the bathroom.

[@Mark-sp6vq]

Kat is such a goof, lol . Entertains herself. Love her

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

Noted!! I was gonna bring melatonin omg, but I didn't even think about things that could happen on board and emergencies. It's already hard to wake me up normally ~ I shall leave it at home! And I am sad to admit, but that's me with the water. LOL, I'm better with it now for sure though.

[@javiervigil2511]

Great learning tool, any time you can learn or take an opportunity to teach others about a situation that happens is a good thing👍

[@hollyhummel9774]

Glad you and your airlines are on top of emergencies. Haven't flown your airlines in awhile because it isn't a hub in area. But another unnamed airlines- those flight attendants are surly😅. How can I break the ice with flight attendants who seem to be having a rough day?

[@stephanier9820]

@@KatNesbitt I do absolutely love these bags. Ordered a set of folding regular shopping bags too. Maine got rid of store provided plastic bags. You can buy them but the bags I got plus the cooler bags take up less room, like a third of the space and both are travel ready. Fantastic and thanks again.

[@loretta_3843]

Having Italian parents who moved to Australia, you reminded me, during summer my mum would make a heap of coffee and pour it into one of the china teapots we never used, place it in a bowl of ice and keep it in the fridge. She hasn't done that in years, I never even tried it. However, we would be given a spoonful of "proper" coffee or a cafe latte as kids (always loved the smell of coffee) I don't even drink it anymore. Oh, while I'm reminiscing, I just remembered how as kids, we'd have wine at meals - maybe a finger of wine and then water. Wouldn't you know, I don't drink now either! Now that you mention it (because my comment isn't long enough..) I was flying Kuala Lumpur to Rome and I had sleeping medication (I'm a bad sleeper at the best of times). I took a couple, nothing's happening, took some more. Then all of a sudden, I'm waking up and the man next to me was saying "whoa, we had some nasty turbulence, but you didn't wake at all". I was kind of bummed, at last something a little exciting happened and I'm asleep. I see now how that could have been a nasty experience!

[@calise8783]

My parents also came from Italy. Growing up I always had a kid’s coffee or wine with every meal. I do drink one coffee daily -love the warmth, flavor and ritual - but besides a glass of wine with dinner, I’m not a big drinker at all.

[@user-tk8ug8gi4k]

Hey Kat! Loved the video today! We are living similar crew schedule lives as I’ve been doing London Paris and Rome all summer and now switching into winter sked and it’s mostly domestic, Mexico, and Hawaii lol! Have an awesome reserve month!

[@TwilaSue]

I thankfully was at an event at the top of Pike’s Peak with relatives who cautioned me about taking something for a headache. Altitude does need to be a consideration when taking meds! (Ok, true confession, I had partied too much the night before, wanted something for my hangover headache, they handed me one Tylenol, which I said, “Nope, this is a whopper, I need at least 2” and was told, nope, only get one! It will work! And it did!

[@mrsc7057]

Correct advice, and drinking on flights, one can get drunk faster , slow down and sip 🍺🍷

[@christendiel5847]

Can you please talk about people who have severe flight anxiety? I got prescribed Ativan for my last flight. I took 3 and still had tears from the fear of being on the plane. I want to travel so badly but my anxiety on planes gets worse every time.

[@gypsyfirestorm]

I'm with you. My first coffee after I wake up HAS to be a hot coffee. After that it's Cold Brew all day every day LOL

[@cnic414]

Thank you for the info about medical issues! I get motion sickness on planes - do you have any tips/tricks/hacks? I usually will take over the counter medicine before a flight but it's hit or miss on whether it works for me.

[@jessicayoung4261]

Hi, Kat. It's interesting to hear that fainting is semi common to happen on flights. I have been the medical emergency on a flight to Atlanta before actually because my blood pressure dropped and I felt pre-syncopal. 🙃 I do have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) though so it's not uncommon for me to feel like that but I was alone on the flight and it was scary. I will say the flight attendants went above and beyond for me though. I did stay hydrated and had my electrolytes and kept the air vents open but it just was a bad time for me. When I realized I was starting to get bad I pushed the flight attendant button and I told them and they listened to me and immediately called for medical help and a nurse came and took care of me. They moved me to a row in the back on my own so I could lay day across the seats and so when we landed medical could board through the back. The nurse stayed with me through the flight and the ambulance picked me up from the tarmac. After I was in the ER getting taken a different flight attendant from my flight heard what was happening and came to visit me. She had just gotten back to her home base and she asked if I needed anything, brought me chick fil a and after I was released she picked me up and let me stay at her house until my rescheduled flight that was like 6 hrs later. She even brought me back to the airport when it was time for me to go. I will never forget her as I was a young disabled 19 yo traveling alone and still another flight away from home.

[@shortylane5035]

Hi Kat thanks for all the wonderful videos. In regards to the sleeping tablets my last long flight the young guy beside me sat down took two sleeping tablets. Once asleep he was leaning on me. But basically I was stuck in my seat unless I asked one of the flight attendants to wake him up.

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

LOL, that bag full of coffee you took back is hilarious!! On a serious note however, if you get airsick (as in actual vomiting) is that classed as a medical emergency at all? If so I am sooooo sorry. I am a terrible flyer even with all the experience I have, but something seems to happen to my stomach in the air that puts it into a complete tailspin. I'll distract myself, I'll only eat the blandest food, I'll watch movies etc etc but I do often find myself having to go puke in the toilet. And then I look all crap & hungover & whatever and the FA's get concerned. I feel so bad :( .

It used to be suggested to deal with jet lag, that you move your wake up and go to bed times some over a few days so you’re on the same time zone as your destination, and the same thing when returning. Obviously, you and your fellow flight attendants can’t really do that (DFW to Incheon is about, what, 14-15-16 hours ahead at Incheon plus crossing the International Date Line westbound? YIKES!!!). So how can you deal with that kind of jet lag, knowing in a couple of days it’s going to be reversed going back?

[@thesnoopydance645]

Can you please explain WHY it's a good idea to stay hydrated? It has something to do about the elevation, doesnt it? I feel like many would forego a drink being offered so they dont have to pee , but theres a really good reason why you must hydrate. Thank you, Kat or anyone that can answer this. 🙂
