myth about airplanes

During night landings the outside of the aircraft is dark. So they want to make the inside dark too so that it doesn t take any time for your eyes to adjust when you re looking outside.

The air inside airplanes is extremely dry and dehydrating we should definitely be drinking water during our flight to prevent this dehydration and help us walk off the plane refreshed at our destination. Furthermore, drinking water will reduce your risk of blood clots.

Many claim that they were taught this method from the cabin crew themselves. What they do is they go into the airplane toilet and take one of those small paper cups and use it to cover the smoke detector in the toilet. Then smoke and blow the smoke into the sink because there is a suction there.

Some airlines intentionally stock food for less passengers that its carrying to reduce weight of the aircraft and in turn save costs. This is especially so in night flights. So say there are 300 people on a night flight to London, the airlines take a bet that maybe 10% of the passengers will choose not to have a meal and instead sleep through.

Yes, So when you re thinking of joining the milehigh club by shagging on flights, know that all the cabin crew will know . One of my friends told me that she even saw a girl going down on her boyfriend at their seat while trying to hide underneath a blanket. It was the talk of the entire cabin crew the whole flight.

Fountain pens should be cleaned and emptied prior to departure, as this is the only way to prevent ink leakage or spillage. If they must be used during flight, be sure to install a new ink cartridge or full converter. The general rule of thumb that applies to air travel with fountain pens is that it should either be completely empty, with no ink in the pen to leak out, or completely full, with no room left in the cartridge for air. A fountain pen full of ink is less likely to leak, as the presence of air in the cartridge or converter is what causes the ink to escape.

The importance of exercising the arms and upper body during flight to prevent blood clots in this region of the body. Long flights give blood the opportunity to pool, so it is crucial that we don t give it the opportunity to do so. Joshi notes that these exercises can be as simple as moving around your arms. In flight exercise guides are now offered by many airlines such as the routine here.

ballpoint pens employ paste ink as opposed to liquid ink, there is less likelihood of expansion and leakage through the tip. Gel pens use a mix of oilbased ink and waterbased ink and are also less prone to leakage

it is important to stay in your seat when the fastened seatbelt sign is lit up,Experts notes that you should make sure to get up and walk around the cabin when it is safe to do so. Getting up and moving around for just a few minutes, especially on longer flights, greatly reduces your risk of producing blood cots from immobility.

There is no real evidence that your mobile phone or your iPod interferes with the aircraft systems. In fact a pilot friend mentioned that the pilots always have their mobile phones turned on in the cockpit throughout the flight anyway. , the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) imposed the ban for fear that the signals that these devices give off could interfere with the cockpit s instrumentation, possibly causing a plane to crash. This regulation is still in effect because studies have not been able to prove that disastrous outcomes would not take place, though there is also no proof that it could really happen.
