Traveling and going on airplanes is something that people do regularly when they want to travel, visit friends and family, or when they are moving.
There are tons of things that people know about flying—what to do and what to avoid. However, there is only one group of people who know more than frequent flyers and those are the flight attendants.
As they spend their lives serving and working on planes, they know all the secrets of flying life. They know the good, the bad, the ugly, and the dirty of course.
With over 114,000 followers on TikTok and millions of likes, the flight attendant knows her stuff and doesn't mind sharing the secrets of the trade with people on social media.
Of course, everyone would automatically assume that the airplane bathroom would be the dirtiest on the airplane because everyone is using the same one. However, it's actually not.
All of those pockets with the Sky Mall magazines and other things that you never truly look at—they happen to be the dirtiest part of the plane.
Flight Bae B said the reason that they are the dirtiest is that people on planes will throw a ton of garbage in there. They throw in wrappers, tissues, napkins—everything. And, they never get cleaned.
People will go into the pockets and take out the garbage that's in there, and then just fix up the magazines. They don't get truly cleaned or sanitized.
The flight attendant said that they will get cleaned out if someone vomits and it gets into the pocket or if there is something "ooey and gooey" inside of the pocket.
All of the germs and the bacteria from other passengers stay inside of the pockets because they are not thoroughly washed out or wiped down, they just get a quick "garbage patrol."
While the bathrooms are dirty and the tray tables see a fair share of germs, they are cleaned and sanitized every time the plane is landed and changed over.
On those long flights you may think that taking your shoes off may be super comfy and good, but in the end, she said she would "never ever" take her shoes off and go barefoot on a flight.
After nine years working on airplanes, it's safe to say that this TikTok user knows the ins and outs of flying. Note to self: never touch the seat pockets ever again!
