Airport Lingo

Ever wonder what the flight attendants are REALLY saying to each other? 

Freshen Up on your Airport Lingo before taking your next trip.

Apron - The paved area upon which the airplanes park

All Call - Each Flight attendant is being asked to report from their station for an intercom call

Concourse - Area of the airport located past the security checkpoint

Concourse Shoes - High-heeled pumps that flight attendants usually wear while walking through the airport

DeadHead - crew members who are flying as passengers -- not staff on your flight

EFC Time - Expected time for the grounded plane to become airborne

Jumpseat - The fold-down chairs that flight attendants sit on

Open Jaw - reservations that leave from one city and return to another city

SkyCap - airline employees that can help you with your baggage.

Slam-Click - a flight attendant that refuses to stay out with the other flight crew while scheduled to stay overnight. They go straight to their hotel room and do not come out until the morning.
