As the saying goes, “ask and you shall receive.” But who knew this applied to air passengers who, with today’s rising cost of airline ancillaries, have grown accustomed to a no-frills inflight experience?

Little did you know that there’s a wide range of items you can request during a flight, small perks that will no doubt enhance your time onboard. The Daily Mail has compiled a list of products and services that many airlines are able to provide – all you have to do is ask. Here are our favourites:

1. Medicine and bandages

If you suffer a migraine or a paper cut mid flight, you’re in luck. Most planes come equipped with a first aid kit.

2. A second meal

Inflight meals aren’t what they used to; with many airlines focusing on healthy and delicious eating, passengers are often left asking for seconds. As long as the aircraft is well stocked (and not part of a budget carrier where meals are extra), cabin crew will be happy to offer you a second meal or extra snacks.

3. A will

Sounds morbid, but it’s true. According to Wanderluxe, pilots are capable of writing wills. They can also arrest you and issue a fine for any number of offenses.

4. Sanitizing wipes

No need to struggle fitting your bottle of sanitizer into a Ziploc bag anymore. According to Smarter Travel, sanitizing wipes are often available on aircraft to wipe down icky surfaces and entertainment system buttons that are known for being germ-ridden.

5. The whole can

It’s important to stay hydrated on a flight. Remember, it’s perfectly okay to ask for the whole can rather than just sip from the cup you’ve been poured.
