What really does surprise me is that a female stewardess would hand a monk a drink or a tray. Normally, it is forbidden for a woman to hand anything to a monk. She would hand it to a man and then he would hand it to the monk. So, I would have thought that it would be more appropriate for her to hand it to you, then you hand it to him.
They must have special exceptions to the rules for when monks go on airplanes!

Jaybee,
Teerak said she wasn't allowed to sit next to a monk and would have to get a man to sit there and if she had been with a female friend she would have to ask a man to change seats with one of them, it definately also applied to me about non-touching because he put the cushion between us as I sat down.
Now you got me doubting myself because I'm questioning my memory as to whether it was a male steward or female, but I was definately not allowed to hand the tray to him.
Don't think it was special rules applying to airplanes, would like another BM's input here, perhaps someone could ask their gf?? I will also email mine to ask if its a personal her thing or definate etiquette rule.
