JetBlue Attendant Turns Lavatory Line Into In‑Flight Gratitude Wall

Instagram attention pushed the crew-led gesture into wider circulation, with praise centered on its authenticity.

Overview

  • Flight attendant Ashley asked passengers waiting for the lavatory to write what they were thankful for on napkins, which the crew taped to a galley panel to form a “gratitude wall.”
  • By the end of the flight the display was covered with notes about family, second chances after illness, new jobs, pets, and appreciation for a safe flight.
  • Ashley wrote on Instagram that many travelers thanked the crew for the idea and that a few stories moved them to tears, calling it a chance to reflect on what matters.
  • Colleagues lauded the gesture and some asked to replicate it on their own trips, while a minority of online commenters reacted cynically with remarks like “Don’t trust JetBlue” and “Just serve me drinks.”
  • Coverage from View from the Wing and Live and Let’s Fly highlighted the effort as a low-cost, crew-initiated act and cautioned that turning it into a corporate campaign would dilute its value.
