Secrets Only Flight Attendants Know

When we have to take a flight, we usually just sit down and let us go. However, there are a lot of interesting things that will help us to have a nicer trip. Here're 10 facts only flight attendants know.

1) The Big Brother
You don't know the crew, but the may know a lot about you by clicking a button. The use an app called "Link" to know all your previous reservations or likes. This is very useful if you ask for an upgrade during the boarding. Then, they'll be able to attend you more efficiently.

2) International flights
In these flights it's impossible your flight is late because of the crew members was late or didn't show up. In these cases, they always have reserves who are waiting in the lounge to replace the other college if he couldn't arrive on time. So if you're flight is late, at least you know it's not because of the crew.

3) Don't go to the bathroom before takeoff
If there's a delay in the take off, just check the lights of the lavatory, is it occupied? The pilot can't start the flight until everybody is seated. So next time you have to use the toilet, just wait until the plane is in the air.

4) The service
If you want a great service choose your seat on the back of the plane. Flight attendants usually avoid most of the calls from the front seats because when they come back a lot of people will ask them things in their way back. So, definitely this is the best area.

5) Hygiene inside the plane
This is no secret at all. We all know that they don't clean the plane as if it was their homes. They just take out the papers and things that are on the surface and wipe with the same rag the whole plane. But, well, the dirtiest areas are the tray tables (yes, where we eat), the seats, and of course, the lavatory.

6) Share the flight with a non-dead
Here's the thing, the flight attendants are not allowed to call time of death. So, if someone dies on the plane, they would try to change him to another seat, or first class, or if the plane is full, they'll just cover him with a blanket and leave him in his seat. So, nice company, isn't it?

7) Drinking on the plane
Forget about trying to save some money buying your own drinks at the airport shop to drink them inside the plane. The won't allow it. It's not because the want to charge you for the drinks, it's because if you buy them on the plane, they can know how much alcohol you're having and avoid problems...or that's what they say.

8) Forget the plane water
Just, think about it, do you trust they clean the pipes or the pots as they should? Have you ever seen a flight assistant or pilot bringing their own thermos bottle? I'm sure they answers are "no" and "yes". So, don't take risks, and remain faithful to you bottled water.

9) You can't open a door mid-flight
Were you afraid someone tried to open the cabin door last time you were on a plane? Don't worry anymore! it is simply impossible to open a plane door during a flight because cabin pressure won’t allow it. “At a typical cruising altitude, up to eight pounds of pressure are pushing against every square inch of interior fuselage. That’s over 1,100 pounds against each square foot of door.” says a pilot.

10) The shades
We all close the shades of the plane when we want to have a nap or the sun is too annoying. However, flight attendants don't really like it because in case of emergency they need to see the outside in order to check all the factors. They won't say anything though, because this happens only in case of emergencies but it always good to know.

[cristinaiordache]

My mum is a flight attendant and she said that these are all true

[gabe-bquj]

Clickbait. The door can’t be opened in mid air due to pressure outside.

[lisameadows]

Lift up the lavatory flap and there is a lever to unlock the lavatory even when it's loked

[kyliesoares]

[thesaimabbas]

flight attendants ask you to turn off mobile phones but in reality phone signals does nothing the reason they ask us is that so we can pay attention to their instruction

[vinny]

Flight attendant ‘s know how to open the bathroom door

[rajdesai]

Well um... am i a flight attendant? Because i already know more than half of these
Also i know a fun fact! Back some of the old days Most flight attendants got inside those places to store your bags( i forgot what they are called please reply) after everyone has left

[BretAllen]

I'll give you one more. The cabin air is not recycled as some people believe. The pressurization system has outflow valves located on the rear pressure bulkhead that allow the air to escape in a controlled fashion. That's why the smoking section was always in the rear of the aircraft. When smoking was allowed on aircraft, the outflow valves would require cleaning from the tar in the smoke. We also used the tar stains to find air leaks around door seals and the cabin. True story.

1:09 only exception is if you're on the taxiway at Dulles on Turkish Airlines Flight 7 headed to Istanbul-Atatürk leaving at 11:00pm because you won't take off until 12:30am (heavy traffic, completely normal, we leave that early before takeoff because it will only keep piling up if we wait until 12:00am). They will cut the engines and specifically let everyone use the lavatories when they stop at certain points because it's literally a parade of planes trying to go to the same runway from different taxiways and intersections.

lol the dead deserves their money too, they deserves to fly to their destination XD

[evaalois]

Yey I am so excited to watch the video

[ikeabiscuits]

I know a fact, if both engines fail or all engines fail there is a little fan at the bottom of the aircraft it will keep the plane flying in till the pilot lands!

[lazygacha]

[nikoaa]

Now not only the flight attendants know now passengers know

[jimrosarti]

Yeah that they look at you in regards to muscles etc and weigh you up to see if you could help if there was an emergency... and yeah surprised enough, the quotation about the dead is common as i had this done next to me when i was flying back to UK from DC. The only way that i know was that i spoke to them and got no reply, .. i then gently prodded them and the guys head fell in his lap and stewardesses came running. Im an ex forces medic so this didnt concern me but there were others close by going ape.
