We never thought of ANY of these…
When it comes to flying anywhere, the last thing you think about is what and what not to do on the plane.
Between packing your stuff up, double checking you have your passport and making sure your hand luggage has all the stuff you’re going to need for the next few hours, there’s no time to be messing around when you need to get to that boarding gate and get on the damn plane.

One flight attendant has given us the serious creeps about flying, as she has revealed all the mistakes us commoners make when flying on a plane.
After quitting her job where she worked for 2 years, Reddit user adrianne56 opened up about the ins and outs of a plane and what the air staff on the flight get up to.
Adrianne was verified by Reddit in that she was a professional hostess, saying she had a college degree
“I’ve been a flight attendant for a little under 2 years for a regional airline that serves 3 of the US’ major airlines.
“I worked on 80 seater aircrafts with one other flight attendant and 2 pilots.
“It’s been a great experience, but today–I quit.”
Of the things Adrianne advised against she said…
Don’t take a seat in first class without a ticket as you will be forced to move.
That’s told us so.
Don’t drink the tea or coffee on the flight.
Apparently, the water on the plane is… not so good.
“I personally would not drink the portable water from the aircraft. So the tea, coffee…I would avoid. The water isn’t so bad but how often do you really think those tanks are cleaned?”
Do NOT try to join the Mile High Club.
No matter how badly you want to be able to brag about doing it mid-air, the air staff KNOW what you’re trying to do.
“We can pretty much see what everyone is doing on the plane for the most part. I would see two people going in the bathroom easily”
Don’t do a poo
While this seems pretty much impossible to avoid, Adrianne says it’s absolutely soul-destroying for air staff to clean up.
“Don’t take a s**t on the plane. PLEASE. Sometimes I get it, you just have to go but damn, close the door behind you.”
Do NOT eat directly from the table trays in front of you.
According to Adrianne, the cleaning of these trays are not taken very seriously, leaving plenty of germs and bacteria lying around. YUM.
“The overnight crew cleans the aircraft. But I would say very rarely”.
Don’t sit near the back if you’re afraid of turbulence.
Apparently, the feeling of turbulence on a plane is always worse at the back. So sit up front y’all!
“Try to get a seat assignment near the front of the aircraft. Turbulence is always going to be worst in the back of the aircraft.”
