I was flying from Paris to Rome on Vueling airlines. It was the middle of summer, incredibly hot, and when I got on the flight I was pretty thirsty. I didn’t have time to grab a bottle of water at the airport because my cab driver took us to the east airport (not west) which caused us to almost miss our flight.
Anyway, the flight attendants started out the flight by rolling their eyes as they went through the safety procedures. Soon afterwards they started bringing out the drink carts. I was in the 2nd row and the FA practically ran with the cart past my aisle. He saw me, but didn’t stop.
I turned to my boyfriend and said “He didn’t stop to give me a drink!” My boyfriend replied “Maybe they start in the middle and work their way back.” Not much later the FA races with the cart back to the front of the plane and zips out with a garbage bag. Nope! Not getting a drink!!!
I’ve never before been on a flight where I was not offered a drink, and blatantly ignored when I tried to ask for one. I’m never flying with that airline again!!

Where is the part where you politely ask the flight attendant for a beverage? Guess you weren't that thirsty.
You have a voice? Use it.
You did the wrong thing – as the FA passed by you, you are supposed to put your foot out to get his/her attention. This is perfectly acceptable and is a "must" on many European airlines
Never, European airlines don't suck like those in America
GO LA
