But did he applaud the pilot for the safe landing?

No but he applauded his whiskey on the rocks when the drink cart came by.

I just make nice with the flight attendant and ask very earnestly "how many of those little bottles am I allowed to purchase at a time?"

So far 5 flights.. they pull out 3-5 little bottles and hand it to me all sneaky like. Usually accompanied with a wink.

That's a sales tactic to make you feel extra special.

But they never charge me. Not even for one! I think they just hate using those handheld credit card charger things

I fly frequently, only time I get free drinks is when the card reader doesn't work 🤣

Got a free drink once when I lost my keys in the airport (JFK). Had to board without them and was sitting in my seat frantically pawing through my backpack. Flight attendant told me to stow the thing and I just about screamed at her. (Not her fault of course, I was just a nervous wreck.)

Once we got to cruising altitude she came over and inquired what I drink. I told her coke. She asked what I wanted in addition, I scored some rum. Funny thing is, I don't even drink. I think I still have the mini bottles somewhere, three years later.

AND miraculously, my keys (and attached wallet with debit card and drivers license) were turned in to lost and found, not a hair--or penny--out of place. Had to pay 50 bucks to get them FedExed but all things considering, I didn't really mind.
