myth about airplanes

You can still bring liquids in containers smaller than 3.4 ounces. Take this opportunity to pack a small container of hand sanitizer in your carry on luggage to have with you at all times during travelmany germs and other containments live on airplanes and in airports, so it is important to disinfect your hands with hand sanitizer periodically to kill all of the nasty germs

Packing your medications in your checked luggage may seem like a good idea many patients who have needed medication while on their flights but were unable to access it. to pack any and all medications in our carryon luggage to ensure that they are safe and available if needed.

Airline will take the best possible actions, some things cannot be avoided, like the noise on the ramp. you cannot stand out there without ear protection, and imagine your pet sitting out there on the ramp waiting to be loaded onto the plane being exposed to the same amount of noise Please people, think twice before flying your pets.

Apparently planes get struck by lightning all the time. Also if a passenger is causing a scene in the jetway he can refuse to let them on and take off without them.The captain has almost limitless authority when the doors are closed. He is allowed to arrest people, write fines and even take the will of a dying passenger.

The headsets that are given to you are not new, despite being wrapped up. They are taken off the flight, cleaned , and then packaged again.

Do not drink the water in the lav. It is bad enough to wash your hands in it. We sanitize the water tank at selected maintenance intervals, however parasites build tolerances to these cleaners.Check the outside of the aircrafts when walking in. If the paint is crappy shape, the plane is in crappy shape. Skydrol (hydraulic fluid) is a nasty fluid and will dissolve everything. So if the paint is missing, it s probably from a skydrol leak. No one wants a hydraulic leak at 35,000 ft in the air. As you can t just pull over and top the reservoir off.

You are able to unlock airplane lavatories from the outside. There is usually a lock mechanism concealed behind the no smoking badge on the door. Just lift the flap up and slide the bolt to unlock.

2 pilots are served different meals and cannot share, this is done in case of food poisoning.Stealing food, even if they are going to throw it out can get you fired instantly. You can ask your supervisor, but you cannot take food. They don t want people messing with it .

Look online or in a travel store for TSAapproved locks. The TSA has keys to open those locks in case they need to further inspect them (and hopefully not steal from them). And most people don t think to lock their carryon, but especially now with load factors very high, more and more people are having to gate check bags. Once you drop your bag at the end of the jetway for gatechecking, anyone from a fellow passenger, to a gate agent, to a ramp agent has access to your bag .

Mobile electronic devices won t really bring an airplane down but they can be really annoying to pilots. Just imagine sitting in the flightdeck descending to your destination and hearing the interference of a 100+ cellphones picking up a signal. I have missed a clearance or 2 that way .
