Traveling by plane is one of the things that is most often done in the summer time. It is considered one of the safest means of transport in the world and every year there are thousands and thousands of flights around the planet.
What should be a quiet place to reach our destination, sometimes becomes fun places, with incredible stories that could be the result of any Hollywood script.
According to the flight workers themselves, flight attendants and hostesses, many curious stories occur when we choose to travel by plane, and we are going to summarize some of them.
Is there a doctor in the room?
In an interview given by some flight attendants for Traveler magazine, they confessed that stories related to medical problems or issues pile up on airplanes. One of these hostesses confessed that a man died in the middle of the Dubai-Jakarta flight, “we found him like that and we had to move him aside and cover him,” the flight attendant confessed to the magazine.
These workers confess that the longer the flight, the more things can happen, and more on flights where the average age is high: fainting, parties in flight, fights. Although beautiful things also happen like births on board.
Don’t forget that sir …
Other stories that usually occur when traveling by plane are the forgetfulness of the passengers. In 2013, the specialized travel website Skyscanner surveyed more than 700 cabin crew to find out what things passengers used to leave on the plane.
iPads, mobiles, consoles or books, it is common, but less normal things have also been found such as animals (hawks, turtles, parrots), comforters, and even their own babies.
Don’t be impatient ma’am
A few weeks ago we learned the story of a woman who tried to open the emergency doors in mid-flight. Impatience or fear of flying are among the reasons that could explain this altercation.
The passage of the Dallas-North Carolina flight did not think twice and decided to end the impatience of the woman for the healthy: tying her to the armchair for the rest of the flight.
Boy or girl?
In social networks we can find many tricks to pass more clothes and luggage than the account on board the plane. The tiktoker @miniadvantures showed her followers what she does to carry more luggage and not show it: a fake pregnant belly where she keeps more clothes.
She found conflicting opinions on the matter and was accused of being a “con artist” by many of her followers.
