During expected turbulence, what is a recommended practice for cabin crew regarding service?

During expected turbulence, conducting service with caution is the recommended practice for cabin crew. This approach acknowledges the need to balance passenger needs for service with safety considerations. Turbulence can create a hazardous environment, potentially leading to spills, injuries, or disruptions if the service is conducted as usual. By performing service with caution, crew members can ensure that they are attentive to the changing conditions and can quickly react if turbulence intensifies, ensuring the safety of both themselves and the passengers.

Additionally, this approach allows for continued service while maintaining a focus on safety, where crew members may choose to reduce the frequency or complexity of service tasks as necessary. This means that items that might be easily handled can still be offered, but more involved services may need to be paused or altered temporarily.

This choice reflects a careful consideration of passenger comfort and safety during turbulence, unlike halting service completely, which may not take into account the manageable conditions that can allow for some level of service.
