Former flight attendant reveals five things to never do on a plane
After spending countless hours on a plane during her career as a flight attendant, Kat Kamalani has learned a few things about on-board etiquette and rules.
Now, she has shared five things she would never do on a plane journey, and has warned travellers about the inner workings of plane culture.
In a now-viral TikTok video titled "Five things [she] would never do as an (ex) flight attendant”, she outlined the things every traveller should know.
Firstly, she recommends everyone bring their own snacks onboard, as Kat says, "you never know what's going to happen".
No matter how short your flight is, it's always a good idea to bring something small to eat on your journey to accommodate for your own tastes, preferences and potential allergies.
Secondly, Kat warns passengers to "never drink the hot water on the airplane".
While this seems like a bizarre tip, Kat has made an entirely separate video on why she always abides by this rule.
She revealed that the water tanks on planes are "never, ever" cleaned, so the water can be pretty gross in there.
According to Kat, the flight attendants and pilots themselves refuse to drink anything from these tanks.
For the same reason, she says not to drink anything unless it comes from a bottle or can.
Number three is pretty simple: always obey the flight attendants.
As the fourth rule, she says travellers should never divulge too much personal information to people sitting next to them on a plane.
While your seat neighbours could seem friendly, they are strangers at the end of the day.
Finally, Kat gives people one last tip, saying “Please don't walk around with your shoes off," accompanied with a vomit-face emoji.
Kat’s tips struck a chord with viewers, as one user posted in the comment section, "As an ex flight attendant as well, I agree with all of this!!"
