Be sure the following pointers don’t fly under the radar.
A Latest York-based flight attendant has revealed the five things she would never do before or on a flight, including scuba diving prior to takeoff or booking tickets through a third-party site.
“Once I’m flying anywhere international or anywhere that’s far, I’m not gonna use their blankets and I’m not gonna use their pillows,” TikToker Leysha Perez said in a clip post online, which soared to 23,000 views.
Along with bringing your personal pillows and blankets from home for long-haul flights, Leysha beneficial to not eat airlines’ meals “too often.”
“I’m not gonna eat each meal off the plane, as much as I would like to,” she said. “Only because there’s loads of preservatives, it’s very high in sodium, so it’s not good in your health overall to eat them an excessive amount of.”
Next, she admitted she doesn’t “assume the worst” of passengers, calling for more “compassion” for one another as human beings.
Addressing unruly travelers who pick fights and are escorted off the plane, Perez said “you never really know what they’re going through.”
“People take their anger out on us on a regular basis, they’re mad at us, but what I try to know and what I attempt to let other flight attendants know is don’t take it personal,” she advised, admitting that her job allows her to “practice patience.”
“You never know what these individuals are going through.”
The stewardess also warned against scuba diving as much as 48 hours prior to takeoff as a consequence of the potential for developing decompression sickness, which may occur when the body has not been allowed ample time to rid itself of excess nitrogen.
Lastly, Perez said her final piece of recommendation needs to be “common knowledge” for jetsetters: Don’t buy tickets from third party sites, especially in the event that they want seats with their kids.
“Plenty of the time I actually have parents that come on they usually’re super offended because they didn’t get seats next to their child they usually’re holding up boarding because they’re like, ‘I want a seat next to my child,’” she explained.
“But they booked their tickets through a 3rd party website.”
Unfortunately, lots of those platforms distribute seats at random and “just provide you with what they’ve,” she continued, meaning that securing multiple seats together is unlikely.
“For those who’re booking together with your child and you should sit next to your child, don’t book through a 3rd party website, just book directly from the airline website,” she said.
Perez previously dished to her 78,000-some followers that she would also never eat ice from the airplane beverages, use the seat back pocket, walk across the cabin barefoot or touch anything within the lavatories together with her bare hands.
The Post has reached out to Perez for comment.
