Flight attendant reveals the three things you should never do if you want to stay safe on a plane

The football’s on, beer gardens are filling up and the office suddenly feels much quieter.

It’s holiday season lads, and either the whole of the group chat are jetting off or you’ve been left behind while your best mate goes away with their partner.

And before you finally board your flight and travel away, you might be taking note of flight attendant’s advice after one revealed there’s one ‘type’ of passenger they like the most.

Because who doesn’t want to be in their good books?

While one says they secretly memorise your face and another explains there’s only one way to ‘shoot your shot’ with the crew, another has revealed the three things you should never do if you want to stay safe on a plane.

The TUI flight attendant took to TikTok where she shares advice and insight into crew life as ‘mrsmiva’.

She advises her followers of ‘3 things you should never do on a plane’.

Wearing ‘shorts or a skirt’

The flight attendant explains: “You never know how clean it is where you’re going to sit.

“Also it can get very cold.” Tell me about it, I’ve shivered through my fair share of flights after dressing for the destination rather than to sit in the big cold box in the sky.

Never ‘get drunk on a plane’

I’m sure this one has got you rolling your eyes as you plan to neck back a couple of cans on the flight to Ibiza this year.

Miva explains that passengers who are ‘too drunk’ can be ‘ejected’ from their flight for safety reasons. So as always, it’s best to moderate those airport pints and pre-holiday tipples.

The importance on keeping hydrated

The flight attendant says ‘not drinking enough water’ is a bad idea, and quite rightly so.

“The dry air and low humidity on the plane can lead to increased fluid loss and dehydration,” Miva says.

So, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water before boarding and during your flight – buy a fresh bottle once you’re through security, or (great airport hack) take through an empty, reusable one and fill it up at the water stations for free.

Travellers thanked the attendant for her useful advice as one said they’ve got ‘dehydrated’ on flights before as another put: “Yes it’s so cold for me in the airplane.”
