10 Flight Attendant Secrets You Don’t Know About

[Music] ten flight attendant secrets you don't know about a plane in the eyes of flight attendants and a plane in the eyes of passengers are two completely different worlds we often have no idea about some secrets that the crew is hiding here are ten tips from flight attendants on how to get the maximum comfort in a plane pay attention to fact number 10 doing this you actually insult air hostesses one you're allowed to ask for more food haven't you ever heard about it me neither the food that's distributed on board an aircraft has a short shelf life since it's delivered pre-made all access containers with food are immediately discarded after the flight sometimes these are eaten by the crew therefore if your stomach demands more don't be ashamed to ask the flight attendant for another serving to check the presence of a life vest before taking off it's surprising but it's still a fact some passengers steal life jackets from under their seats as a souvenir I can't imagine how anyone could manage to steal such a huge thing and take it out of the cabin but some travelers do it by the way don't follow their example it might lead to a fine so for safety reasons always check your seat before the flight to make sure the life vest is there and not stolen by some sentimental kleptomaniac 3 if you accidentally smoked use the ashtrays in spite of the fact that smoking onboard is strictly prohibited there are ashtrays in the toilets yep people do smoke despite the fines and it's better they put cigarettes out in an ashtray rather than in a try so if you suddenly find yourself in the lavatory with a cigarette in your hand at least use the ashtray and then pay fine for don't be squeamish during the flight did you know that most airlines only do a superficial cleanup after the flight blankets and pillows aren't washed just refolded food trays aren't washed the seat trays are wipe the carpets are clean but you cannot be sure there wasn't a passenger in your seat who suddenly felt sick so it's better to use your own pillows or blankets also don't be paranoid about cleanliness during the flight calm down all these bacteria won't kill you at once five the lavatory door can be opened from the outside flight attendants have their keys in case a passenger is locked in the lavatory also many aircraft have the door lock mechanism itself installed under the no smoking sign on the toilet door if you raise the flap with a cigarette image and turn the bolt the door will open 6 be the last person to board if you and your fellow-traveller checked in at a different time there's a solution just board last when all the passengers take their seats you can immediately see which seats are free also the fact that the door has already been closed behind you and there will be no more passengers gives you the opportunity to get any empty seat on board 7 avoid too much alcohol flight attendants warned that one glass in the sky is equal to two on the ground and it's true since altitude affects blood in such a way that alcohol during a flight affects you much more than on the ground so even if you drink because you're afraid to fly you risk becoming too relaxed 8 avoid the bulkhead seats remember this rule if there are passengers with babies on board they'll most likely take the bulkhead seats this happens because it's easier and safer to place a baby carrier there so if you love cute screaming neighbors you know which seats to choose 9 drink only bottled water the problem of filthy water onboard aircraft has gained a lot of attention since the scandalous study of the Wall Street Journal in 2002 the number of bacteria and water samples from 14 of the most popular airlines was hundreds of times higher than the established standard today's situation hasn't changed a lot so it's better to drink only bottled liquids on board you should avoid tea coffee and water from the sink 10 don't applaud at the end of the flight in some countries passengers give ardent applause to the pilot for landing right on the airstrip perhaps people are trying to express gratitude to the crew or the joy of coming back home but the crew may consider this gesture insulting the flight is not a roulette game this is their job people who travel a lot to know this and don't clap as much do you know other tips for the best flight share them in the comments below don't forget to hit the like button and click subscribe to stay on the bright side of life
