Ever wondered what really goes through a pilot's mind when they see passengers behaving a certain way? An American Airlines pilot has stepped forward to share some eye-opening advice—including the one thing you should never do on a plane.
The Golden Rule of Air Travel
According to the seasoned pilot, one common passenger habit is a major no-go: ignoring the seatbelt sign. "People think it's just a suggestion, but turbulence can hit unexpectedly," the pilot explains. "When that sign's on, stay seated."
Other Insider Tips
- Hydrate wisely: Cabin air is extremely dry—drink water, but avoid excessive alcohol or caffeine.
- Pack smart: Keep essential medications and valuables in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
- Respect the crew: Flight attendants are there for your safety first—their requests aren't optional.
Why This Matters
With air travel booming post-pandemic, understanding these unwritten rules could make your next flight smoother—and safer—for everyone onboard. The pilot's final piece of advice? "Trust the professionals. We want you to arrive safely just as much as you do."
