Former flight attendant Jane Hawks worked with wedding travel agencies to uncover one common habit, but a filthy habit that people saw doing while flying. “I saw passengers walking barefoot around the cabin,” Jane frowned. “Yak.”
The former aviation hostess said even taking off his shoes on the plane was “a complete no no.” Jane emphasized that it was “unhygienic, unnecessary and rude, completely ignoring fellow passengers.” Explaining in part why this is so bad for her, Jane confesses how much a clumsy plane really is.
“Aircraft are only deeply cleaned if taken for maintenance,” she revealed. “Most everyday cleans include quick trash, but not more.”
This is also why she recommends bringing all passengers onto the ship.
“When traveling by plane, if possible, try not to touch which areas unless you disinfect them,” she advised. “The worst issues are the tray tables, armrests, seats, and headrests. So, I always wipe them off before using them.”
So, whether you're traveling for business or first class, cleanliness doesn't seem to be guaranteed.
But it's not just people's hygiene considerations that bothers Jane. There are other common fakes that many passengers have committed crimes.
“I'm not in a very hurry to be ready to drop off before the aircraft is completely stopped,” she said. “It's dangerous and unnecessary.”
Additionally, anyone who has a luggage in the hold may take some time for the luggage to appear on the conveyor belt.
As for your next overseas trip, whether you were planning one or not, perhaps Jane's statement will stay in your mind the next time you step into the plane.
