We have cash on hand for tips and incidentals so was wondering what was customary and if you noticed any better service or perks for your departure or the next time you operated into that airport.
Our department policy is $5 US max for each line service tech. I have been known for giving a lot more for those guys and gals who go the extra mile but don't expect to be reimbursed for it. The person who does the lav service gets a tip no matter. I have expensed (with explanation) it and have never been called on it
.
As for if we get better service tipping or not, I do not see any difference.
