Interesting facts about flights.
The plane from the point of view of the crew and the aircraft from the point of view of passengers is two completely different worlds. And if the first know all his secrets, the second may not even know about them.
We found 10 tips from flight attendants on how to obtain the maximum comfort from any flight.
Don’t hesitate to ask for more
The food handed out on Board, has a short shelf life, as it comes already in a ready kind. All extra containers of food are thrown out immediately immediately after the flight. So, if your stomach asks to “continue the Banquet”, and you don’t hesitate to ask flight attendants additives.
Check the life jacket before the flight
Strange but true: there are passengers that steal life jackets from under your seat as a souvenir. Therefore, for security purposes, before you fly, check your seat for the presence of vest —make sure that your place is not sitting so sentimental kleptomaniac.
If you accidentally smoke, use ashtrays
Maybe you’ve noticed: despite the fact that Smoking on Board is strictly prohibited in the toilet standing ashtrays, as people, regardless of the penalties, you still smoke. And it’s better they put out cigarettes on the ashtray than the paper in the bin. So, if you are for a moment forgotten and unexpectedly woke up in the toilet with a cigarette in hand, be kind, use at least an ashtray. And then pay the fine.
In flight better be squeamish
Most airlines after the flight on Board made only a “cosmetic cleaning.” Blankets and pillows are not washed, and folded nicely. Trays, do not wash. Tables wipe clean carpets — but you can’t be sure that prior to this there sat the poor man, who abruptly became ill.
Keep in mind: the toilet door can be opened from the outside
Not only that, the flight attendant has its own key in case of a passenger stuck in the lavatory, in addition many of the aircraft the locking mechanism of the door is installed under the symbol “No Smoking” at the door of the toilet. Enough to raise a flap with a picture of a cigarette and turn the latch to unlock the door.
Enter the plane last
If the check you were in a different time with a companion — there is a solution: just go to the Board the most recent. After a full load of passengers you can see what the places or ranks of the free. And the fact that you are the door of plane already closed and passengers will no longer gives you the opportunity to take any empty seat on Board.
Don’t get carried away with alcohol
Flight attendants warn that one glass in the sky is equal to two on the ground. And it’s true, because altitude affects the blood in such a way that the alcohol during the flight is much stronger than on earth. So, even if you drink just because you are afraid to fly, you risk to spend flight too relaxed.
Avoid seats behind the partition.
Remember the rule: if on Board there are passengers with babies — most likely, they will put the bulkhead in the salon; if the salon is a barrier — most likely, there will put passengers with infants. Just because it is easier and safer to place a baby cradle. So if you like cute screaming neighbors, you know where to pick the place.
Drink only bottled water
The problem of dirty water on Board began to pay attention since the controversial research by the Wall Street Journal in 2002: water samples from the sides 14 of the most popular airlines hundreds of times in excess of capacity of the bacteria. Today, the situation has not changed much, so drink on Board it was only bottled liquid. Tea, coffee and water in a toilet are best avoided.
Refrain from ardent applause at the end of the flight
In some countries, passengers frantically applauded the professional pilot that he managed to put the aircraft are past the runway. Yes, perhaps the people are trying to Express gratitude to the team or the joy of returning home, but the crew of such a gesture is sometimes perceived as an insult. Flight is not your game of roulette. It’s their job.
