While the provided reference doesn't explicitly state how to ask for water, it does offer insight into interacting with air hostesses during a flight. We can infer polite and effective ways to request water based on general etiquette and the reference's example of ordering food.

Here are a few ways to ask an air hostess for water:

  • Direct and Polite Request: "Excuse me, could I please have a glass of water?"
  • Request with Explanation (if needed): "Excuse me, I'm feeling a little thirsty. Could I please have some water?"
  • Request During Service: If the air hostess is already serving nearby, you can make eye contact and say, "Excuse me, when you have a moment, could I please get a glass of water?"
  • Following the example in the YouTube video (0:10), you could adapt the ordering structure: If the air hostess is taking orders you could say, "Yes, I would like a glass of water please".

Remember to:

  • Make eye contact
  • Speak clearly and politely
  • Say "please" and "thank you"
