The numbers show that there are over 8 million people who fly commercially per day. And if you can’t necessarily picture that huge number in your head, this might help you, that’s over 100,000 airplanes flying in the sky, every single day. With such a huge amount of flights, there are obviously that much more flight attendants in the sky as well. And that also means that there must be quite a lot of information they know about airplanes and flights that we don’t.
Take a look at some the most unbelievable secrets that people who work on airplanes know that we don’t.
1. ‘Extra’ Passengers On Board
See the box? That’s not your run of the mill box full of goodies being brought home by a passenger to their loved ones. That’s really an actual ‘loved one’ or dead body of someone being flown back to where they belong. Yup, without other passengers knowing it, dead bodies are brought on commercial flights all the time. Plus some aren’t even kept in boxes. Stories have even circulated about how certain deceased people who are in body bags have leaked upon the way… So the next time you fly, make sure to check for any strange stains on your luggage before picking it up off the conveyer belt.
