Are there any common, lesser-known services offered by airlines to passengers onboard?
There are several services that many passengers are not aware of on-board airplanes simply because they are unadvertised.
For example:
- Coat compartments. You can hang your suit in the airplanes cupboard! just ask a flight attendant!
- Birthday / wedding cakes. You can ask the reservation agent for wedding or birthday cake and they will bring it to you on-board!
- Stain remover. In case something spilled on your shirt, you can ask flight attendants to help and they will bring you the stain remover wet tissue and it really helps!
Are there any other common unadvertised services that exist on airplanes?

Singapore Airlines A340-500's have an on-board morgue of sorts; a special compartment for people who die in flight. Apparently, the A340-500's cover the longest commercial air route in the world, "a nonstop 18-hour flight from Newark to Singapore", so they need to deal with things like that semi-regularly.

Is that the kind of 'unadvertised service' you were thinking of? :P
