Tips
Community MemberDon’t watch the flight attendants’ faces
Don’t try to read the flight attendants’ faces to make sure everything is okay. Direct your gaze over the horizon and leave it there for a while. Even if a flight attendant isn’t smiling - she may just be in a bad mood!

Yes. Watching the crew is one of the most common safety behaviors. You are basically outsourcing your sense of safety to someone else's facial expression. Problem is - flight attendants are people. They have bad days, headaches, personal problems. Their face has nothing to do with how safe the flight is. The airplane does not care about anyone's mood. It flies by physics, not by smiles.
