Who in god's name enters a public bathroom without shoes??!?!??

[@troysmith6380]

So, what you're saying is airplanes have become the equivalent of a nasty, piss-covered Greyhound Bus in the sky

[@Itsjojorose]

So a movie theater gets cleaned better than an airplane…

[@michaelcole8196]

Man, I remember the clean downs they did decades ago. They would hold u ar the gate just so the plane could be thoroughly cleaned.

[@venkateshd420]

Sis just snitched on every airline company in a minute 💀

[@lisabadger603]

As much as a ticket costs it should get cleaned!!!!!!

[@brittney5800]

Exactly

[@Saltedstreusel]

Paying an avg of $300 per flight with let’s just say 100 passengers is ~ $30,000 revenue. People deserve a, at minimum surface, cleaned plane…what the hell?

[@cptamerica13]

Well, it cost an Airline roughly $10,000 per hour of flight for the newer planes. It cost $33 per passenger per flight hour. The more people the cheaper though because the numbers divide more. It's $4,000 per 120 passengers. So based on your estimates $300 ticket would probs be a 5hr flight 4,000 x 5 is $20,000 leaving the airline with a $10,000 revenue

[@emmathomson2584]

Revenue and profit are very much different things… so subtract the airlines costs from that number and you’d be correct lol

[@larrytan16]

and here we are wondering how the pandemic spread so quickly throughout the world... we smart humans eh

[@ritarose4463]

Why don't they clean the bathroom? I feel there's a gap in the market for that. Whilst the 'cleaners' 'clean' the plane, other cleaners could deap clean the bathroom, it's such a tiny room!!

[@Mash333]

Never been offered a “wipe on any plane flight, ever.

[@kiwiequis4144]

How do people get away with having filthy public spaces??? It shouldn’t be legal.

[@xstarlightxx]

it kind of depends on the airline, such as singapore airlines thst regularily cleans the toilets for safety reasons

[@raynight959]

I have gone to Spain every year of my life for 17 years and I have never once been given something to clean with when I step on the flight

[@MrMedmechanic]

I'm an Indian and once you've traveled on our trains, none of this can affect you😅

[@lawanawright3166]

The window cleaning is something I’ve never thought of, until you mentioned it!!! Now that I’m thinking about it, oh my, it must be covered in active germs…. and things! Thank you for all these great tips and advice. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of flying, it helps me and countless others. Not to mention, I’m heeding your warnings and suggestions on how to be a better passenger. 😊

[@LadySeraphineCC]

And this is why I use the bathroom BEFORE the flight, drink and eat very little.

[@bonamy25]

I’ve never been offered a wipe. And the amount of money I pay to fly, at least clean the damn bathroom. Airlines have diminished their customer service. Something has to give!

[@oscarreyes4511]

I used to work at the Orlando International Airport. I used to talk to the cleaning crew. They told me they have like 5 mins to clean the plane as they have to run to clean the next one. So they don't clean much. They just make it 'look' clean

[@lesterguess1915]

Airlines should be held accountable and fined

[@tummytub1161]

Wait, did you just made us scared so we clean the plane for you? 😂

[@andrewdeges7232]

I’m going to pack some sanitizer and sanitizing wipes…I’m glad you guys offer them, but I’m make sure I’m safe rather than sorry.

[@JerryDLTN]

Life tip #1: become rich enough to have your own private jet

[@istolejahresshipandilldoit3499]

When I was taking a Dreamliner to South Korea, I had to use the restroom. As I stepped into the restroom, my shoes were sticking into the floor and it sounded like I was removing a piece of tape with each step.

[@hussainibaqer8839]

Ok it’s a shame that bathroom are never cleaned…

[@VectraVX]

That’s gross but enlightening. Thank you

[@christincarter769]

So restaurants can't serve food in those conditions but airlines can?!

[@emoarrrow]

With the amount of money you pay for a ticket, they can CERTAINLY afford to pay people to clean the damn plane.

[@theybslayer-vy4vs]

“Don’t tread on a public toilets floor barefoot”CAPTAIN OBVIOUS YO THE RESCUE AGAIN

[@Dumpling.-.]

I deep clean my own seat even if I think they already do it lol. I clean the whole seat with wipes, the seat belt, the window, the arm rest, head rest, around the window, the tray table, the tv screen, even the back of the chair in front of me. 🤷🏽

[@Abraxos_xWildflowers]

I'm a clean freak... this is horrifying, maybe I should become a cleaner for the airplanes 😂😂

[@jamlemon]

I flew with Jet2 last summer, we had to stay on the plane for assistance and I can tell you they don’t have cleaning staff, it’s just the cabin crew and they have a strict turnaround time to clean up.

[@byronmccall1554]

Do not get tea or coffee that requires water from the plane's tanks. Only can or bottle stuff. Because those tanks are never cleaned.

[@dannypipewrench533]

As a germophobe, this information is greatly appreciated.

[@davedennis6042]

The Airlines: Keeping your immunity system strong.

[@xd3athclawx554]

"make sure not to use the sanitizing wipes either, because they've never been cleaned."

[@ligiajorge4279]

Fun fact: if you ever fell like ur going to throw up, ask a attendant for one of those wipes then smell it it will help because the liquid in it helps with sea sickness and stuff like that

[@Megan-el3kp]

yeahh im bringing a lot of hand sanitizer and wet wipes with me on my flight now

[@becca-lr6er]

Who the hell goes barefoot on a plane at all?! I don't even walk their foot in my own house...

[@mehitabel6564]

I'm a frequent flyer, and roughly every third flight I'd catch a bug and be sick for days afterwards.

[@BrandonS2K43]

She's right about cleaning, most of the time on regional flights cleaners just set the belts and take out the trash, nothing else

[@matomeml6508]

Glad some countries really care about hygienic and sanitary

[@everafterbxnnix]

im getting flashbacks to the time I threw up all over the bathroom floor in a plane and they had to close the bathroom 😭

[@Heybestiesahhhhhhh]

On my flight the bathrooms flush was a whole Jumpscare it literally sounded like someone’s soul came out of their body

[@liltilly6960]

Note to self: bring windex, lysol, and a lot of rugs ✅

[@sandynapier2883]

Just IMAGINE all the germs you could have a chance to build an immunity to! 😂

[@lealach]

Cue every airline hiring proper cleaners

[@harley_kay_]

Why would they NOT thoroughly clean a bathroom or the plane??? Tf??

[@txgorilla]

Speaking of the cleaners during Covid.. There was a device that they were taught to use. kinda a chem steamer with UV light... but the issue is that they were not used... ever

[@vedaantdoshi4555]

I would love to watch u continue this series

[@theallmightytimelord1265]

I’m very aware of the fact they don’t deep clean the last 3 flights I took I had rubbish just left in and around the seat

[@southbound1969]

Who actually thought they deep clean between flights?😂

[@KoolVeg]

With the high price of the tickets, they should at least do a good cleaning, before we get on the plane.

[@cioluvsurnan5722]

So… just choose an airline that actually cares about cleanliness… GOT IT! 👍

[@MightyBlackPanther]

now private jets makes sense

[@mrrebel5150]

the entire plane is filthy. and that's every airline

[@DariaKoronka]

I usually take my own paper towels to the toilet, i had a terrifying experience in school that got me to the ER

[@evelynosuna1148]

I worked at SFO cleaning aircrafts and afterwards as a dispatcher for United. During peak summer season you have over 100 flights in your 8hr shift and they all come in at the same time one after another nonstop. There is no time to do a detail cleaning. Depending on the aircraft size and destination, the smallest aircrafts Embraer 175’s 3 minutes on and off airbuses 8-10 min, Dreamliners 15-30 min, 777’s 30-50 min sometimes even less. This included cleaning and full provisioning (removing previous flights dirty duvets, pillowcases, amenities and trash fully re supply the outbound flight is not an easy, especially if there’s only a team of around 6-8 cabin cleaners.) It’s not the Cabin cleaners fault it’s the operation.. no one in the operation wants a delay to fall on them.. airline(pilots, flight attendants, ramp agents, gate agents) vendors (catering, cleaners) depending on destination the cost per 1min international delays started at $1,200.00 back in 2019 idk now.

[@sjv9147s]

West wipes leave surface residue. On clear windows, these become pretty obvious after wiping.

[@atlaskat7980]

When I was 12 I was sick and on my period on a flight from Australia to Dubai. I bled a LOT, through my pad, jeans, and into the seat. It had an enormous puddle. I just put a blanket over the seat and left. I felt so bad after

[@dannermanner5506]

I didn’t know wipes was offered when boarding a flight. Flown delta several times and Air France, was never offered a sani-wipe. Just a friendly Hello and a snack.

[@Alucard45000]

I'll try to remember this if I ever get to travel by plane ever again, its been 13 years D:

[@dnd_dicegoblin]

Not cleaning the toilet should be illegal

[@dallijessop3535]

THNK YOU. I'm going on a flight in July to visit my aunt and this is some HELLA good advice

[@JusticeUnscripted]

This is actually very good to know since I'm going on a trip in an airplane

[@tomo-sage]

Thank you, I’m going to go on a plane this Sunday so this can help!

[@LlamasAreBest]

All of this is common knowledge if you've been on 1 flight in your life.

[@treyweeeee]

To anyone surprised, I just want to remind you that aeroplanes are also nicknamed air buses for a reason. The less you touch the better!

[@23_Beans]

So basically plans are disgusting. Got it.

[@ron9236]

Thank you. I also bring my own wipes.

[@lh2988]

I don’t sit on those toilets before wipe it myself. Airplane bathrooms are small and gross 😷 to me.

[@protorhinocerator142]

Thank you for this very useful information.

[@wilsonjennifer2011]

Yeah I can attest to that clean job... and to be honest it's a time thing. 98% of the turn arounds have to be done in 30 min. The cleaning crew consists of 5 people and they have to dump the lav while cleaning up the cabin and 4 other flights on deck. (Well that was when I was working at DEN)

[@arrozconlecheyum]

i’m going across the country tomorrow and im already getting so many videos abt planes😭😭

[@jk3842]

Ahhh... Spirit airlines. Never fails to fail.

[@jacinthellaalmine2321]

I keep the wet wipes to myself 😭 I didn’t know you were supposed to use it on the plain HAHAHAHAHA

[@norm1815]

She ain't lyin'...I was ground crew for Delta for years at OIA

[@potatojones1089]

I don’t understand how we’ve just accepted that it’s okay for airplanes to be barely cleaned. Like some flights I’m paying almost 1k round trip in economy seats and airlines can’t pay their cleaners to… actually clean? Thank you for the great info though! 😊

[@qur3sh1]

she’s so pretty

[@hayleyhall1502]

I wear socks and comfortable quality sandals on flights. That way I get the best of both worlds. Can move my toes but keep my feet safe!

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

That's one of the reasons I take my seat cover when I fly. That seat is home to hundreds of peoples dry ass sweat. I ain't sitting on that. Did that once, never again.

[@squiggle.64]

WHO THE HELL WALKS AROUND BAREFOOT ON A PLANE

[@Y0YA_]

I don’t even go into the bathroom without shoes 💀

[@me-xx2gl]

Luckily, I try to take short flights. Will avoid the bathroom if possible.

[@gibsonms]

Well the cleaning side of this is utter BS

[@user-kp3rt8np9d]

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT

[@nataliearanda2942]

This is actually so helpful I'm going somewhere on a play in June

[@jacquelinea3358]

That's disturbing. But I totally believe the bathrooms hardly get cleaned. Flight attendants aren't responsible for cleaning them. If a plane has been on multiple flights in a day, the cleaners probably don't get in there all day.

[@Win_dytherian]

Tysm for the tips cuz I’m going on a 14 hour flight soon so this will help a lot ❤

[@katieaugustine5648]

Haven't gotten wipes in 8 mos or so!!

[@Regina-Phalange]

but they never offered me those wipes!

[@victorl4406]

I just assume everything’s dirty

[@lyricthomas3704]

They need to fix it I ain’t going on a dirty plane bathroom

[@Wendigoking]

im learning to be a pilot

[@JorikCC]

Smart tip so people will clean the windows for you guys 🤪😂

[@MIKI-dc2dv]

Thanks for the second tip, but i found it out on my own sooner😅

[@devinhall4294]

She speaking facts 😂😂😂 I work at the airport we barely clean that shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JumperXxXCables]

Moral of the story is don't fly commercial.

[@VSL_babyface]

and dont drink any hot water, coffee, or tea, always drink bottled drinks 😅

[@aminhaile760]

Her eyes are just my favorite ❤❤❤

[@designdoctor247]

thank u for the window tip
