What should you do after giving a seat belt extension?

• A. Dispose of the extension after takeoff.
• B. Check the passenger's comfort.
• C. Advise them to remain seated during the entire flight.
• D. Ensure they remain safely seated per policy.

Answer: (D)

After handing a seat belt extension, the priority is to confirm the passenger is safely seated and the belt is properly fastened according to safety rules. The extension is a tool to help them buckle up correctly, but the critical step is ensuring the belt is securely fastened and that they understand when it must stay fastened (especially during taxi, takeoff, landing, and whenever the seat belt sign is illuminated). This focus on safety takes precedence over comfort checks or other actions, and extensions are not disposed of or left unused during critical phases. If appropriate, you can do a quick check to ensure the belt lies flat and is snug, without being overly restrictive.
