Flight attendant issues warning to people who fall asleep on planes

A flight attendant has issued a warning to people who fall asleep on a plane.

While many people like to relax during their travel and take a nap throughout their flight, a flight attendant warned those sitting by the window to be careful as some parts of the plane are dirtier than others. Tommy Cimato said: "Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window.

He warned that you never knew how many people had done the same and whether the window had been cleaned or not. He added: “You are not the only one that has done that and you don't know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window.” - as Mirror Online reports.

Tommy also advised holidaymakers to not wear shorts on a flight. While jetsetters opt for shorts on a plane due to increased levels of comfort, the cabin crew members warned a plane can be incredibly unhygienic so its best to avoid as much direct contact as possible

He added: "Don’t or try not to wear shorts when you're on an airplane. It's the same thing as the window – you never know how clean it's going to be, so if you have pants, you're going to have less germs.”

Tommy also warned people against pressing the toilet flush button on planes. He said: "He said: “Do not ever touch the flush button with your bare hands. It's honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross, so when you flush, use a napkin or tissue that's in the lavatory.”
