Your flight may be slightly broken
All flights need to okay the check list called a Minimum Equipment List (MEL). They are free to go ahead if these criteria are fulfilled. There may be a few things missing, but that’s ok.
And this may mean your flight can fly without AC on.
Captain is the king
If a passenger is misbehaving or not listening to the advices of cabin crews, the captain may de-plane them. The captain of an aircraft is the supreme body while flying. If a passenger isn’t abiding by the airlines’ norms, the aircraft is free to go without the person.
Avoid drinking water served in glass
Every time you ask for water on low cost airlines, the cabin crew would get water on paper cups. Don’t drink it. Even the airhostesses never drink. That’s because the most water tanks of airplanes aren’t very hygienic. In the USA, one out of six airplanes has a filthy water tank.
Mobile phones don’t cause accidents
Keeping your phones on during flight may not cause crashes, but the pilots feel annoyed because of irritating sounds that are emitted through their headsets. It happens during take-off and landing. Your phone wants to catc network and the pilots’ headsets make noise. You want to know what kind of sound? Try placing your phone near a radio while speaking.
Luggage
To trust a cabin crew, your expensive leather strolley that you spent a fortune on to make your solo trip look classy is being tossed like volleyball in the cargo. Bags are thrown randomly and nothing is safe inside.
Food
No, they aren’t serving the same meal as yours to the pilots. Moreover if there are two pilots, they will get separate meal boxes manufactured in different kitchens. This is to ensure that food poisoning doesn’t happen to both pilots, if at all.
Blankets, pillows and headrests aren’t changed every time
If you are on a long haul flight sleeping peacefully, you may be sleeping on the pillow a passenger used it in the last flight. While this isn’t hard and fast rule, it depends on which category of flight the airline falls.
