HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Customers are accustomed to tipping their waiters when they eat at a restaurant, but should you tip your flight attendant?

If you take a flight on Frontier Airlines, you now can. Flight attendants on the airline are now accepting individual tips.

The new policy began January 1. Customers who order a drink or snack will now see a message upon paying reading "Gratuities are appreciated!" with the option to tip 15, 20, or 25 percent.

So, should you tip? The Association of Flight Attendants International opposes the tipping policy saying instead, airlines should pay flight attendants more.
