How often are Comfort Checks performed?

How often are Comfort Checks performed?

• A. Cabin walk throughs every 15 minutes
• B. Cabin checks every 5 minutes
• C. Cabin checks every 30 minutes
• D. Only at takeoff and landing

Answer: (A)

Regular cabin checks are done at a steady, moderate cadence to catch issues early without interrupting service. Checking every 15 minutes allows flight attendants to quickly notice and address anything affecting safety or passenger comfort—like an aisle obstruction, a seat belt not fastened, or a passenger needing assistance—while still allowing them to continue with service and other duties. Doing checks every 5 minutes would be overly disruptive to the cabin flow, while every 30 minutes could miss developing concerns. Relying only on takeoff and landing checks would leave the cabin unattended during the cruise phase. So, the standard schedule is to perform Comfort Checks about every 15 minutes.
