It’s actually short for “If you would be so kind”. So it’s just a polite way of asking someone nicely to do something. It’s sort of an old fashioned saying.

It’s a contraction of the old, polite way of asking people to do something: ‘if you would be so kind’. It just means please, but when the cabin attendants say it, it has more force behind it than just a simple please. Under those circumstances, it means ‘do it’!

If means the same as “please,” which is short for “if you please.”
If this or another answer here proves helpful in your research, you can encourage good answers by choosing one answer as the “best answer.”
