Crew reaction

The galley is talking.

Cabin Drinks began as one flight attendant’s workaround. Within days, crew members were downloading it, trying it inflight, and helping shape what came next.

FROM ONE FLIGHT ATTENDANT TO ANOTHER

Hi, I’m Zach.

…but if we’ve worked a flight together, you probably know me as Elio.

Cabin Drinks started as something I built for myself to make beverage and meal service a little less chaotic.

Thanks to ideas from other crew members, it’s grown into a tool that’s constantly evolving to make our jobs a little easier.

When I’m not flying, you’ll usually find me behind a camera covering sporting events around the world.
