A FLIGHT attendant has revealed why you should always buy a Toblerone before you board.
The famous chocolate bar, invented in 1908, is one of the most popular things people buy at duty free.
And you should grab one before you board, not just when you land.

"The cabin chief would always offer them free coffee and tea and if there are better seats available, we will move them!"

She said: "We do love getting tipped in snacks, and that happens pretty frequently.
"If you’re headed to duty-free before your flight, picking up a bag of candy for your flight crew is a great way to make friends with us.”
One person shared on Reddit that they were noticed by crew after he gave some Starbucks gift cards to them.
He wrote: "I was on the turnaround flight the next day and the flight attendants spotted me.
"They threw snacks and drinks at me like there was no tomorrow.
"I tapped out after the cheese platter and chocolate cake and ended up sleeping incredibly well (I almost never drink and usually don’t even eat sweets, so the bliss was quite something)."
