1.
Blankets and pillows left on the plane are not washed before being given to another passenger. -
2.
The handle above the emergency exit is actually so the flight attendant won't get pushed out of the plane. -
3.
There is a certain number of screws a plane can be missing, and it's still able to be flown. -
4.
You may want to think twice about drinking that airline water. In 2002, the Wall Street Journal, did a test and found that bacteria levels in airplanes were 100x more than what is allowed in the US. -
5.
The illuminated lights are actually there for an emergency, not to give you a great ambiance while flying. -
6.
Any bag that is found vibrating will be searched. It might be best to remove any batteries before packing certain items. -
7.
The bathrooms on airplanes can be open from the outside. I assumed as much, but you may want to make sure you are extra nice to your flight attendant so they don't open the bathroom door while you are in there. -
8.
A commonly stolen item on airplanes are the life jackets under the seats. Maybe start packing your own. -
9.
Airplanes are often struck by lightning mid-flight, but the passengers rarely notice. -
10.
You know how you like to sleep on a plane? Well so do the pilots! They often fall asleep on long flights. -
11.
Also pilots are given different meals than what the passengers are fed. They do this in the case there is any food poisoning. -
12.
If you need to use the oxygen mask, you better hope the plane lands within 15-20 minutes. Each mask will only contain oxygen for about that long anyway. -
13.
Next time you fly, pack your own headphones. These are typically used as well and then repackaged. -
14.
Have you ever been flying and noticed that food service is taking a little longer? They will delay food service depending on how many of the passengers are sleeping. -
15.
Flight attendants get free wi-fi and are often using their cell phones during the entire flight. -
16.
A scary fact is that some airline employees don't get paid until the flight actually takes off. This may cause them to be in a rush when it comes to checking safety features, stocking the kitchen, and cleaning the airplane. -
17.
More than likely, someone has changed a baby's diaper on your tray table. -
18.
Often times when a bomb threat is reported and the plane is over the ocean, the passengers will have no idea.
