In recent years, traveling by plane has become exceptionally popular thanks to cheap connections. These connections allow you to quickly get to even the most remote corners of the world for little money. Thousands of passengers pass through the decks of various airlines every day.

Tommy Cimato, a popular steward on TikTok, shared some advice with his followers about what to avoid when traveling by plane. Some of his advice might seem somewhat surprising.

Shorts on a plane? The steward says it's not a good idea

In a video posted on social media, Cimato advised netizens to consider what outfit to wear when boarding the plane carefully. It turns out that it’s better to avoid, for example, shorts.

He advised that on a plane, you should not wear or at least try not to wear shorts. You can never be sure how clean it will be on board, and long pants will help you avoid germs left behind by other passengers, he explained.

Basic hygiene rules on the plane

Cimato also shared other rules concerning hygiene on board. He pointed out, for example, that he should not touch the lever or button of the toilet flush with bare hands. - Honestly, it's just unhygienic and quite disgusting, so use a napkin or tissue when flushing, - he emphasized.

Due to the many people traveling by plane and the often short time between one flight and another, Cimato suggested not leaning your head against the window while sleeping.

He stated that you would not be the only person who does this and you don't know how many people and children have touched or wiped the window before you. He also reminded passengers to stay hydrated during the flight and to report any ailments to the flight crew.

He emphasized that the boarding members were here to help you, so if you needed food, water, or a bag for air sickness, you should not hesitate to let them know.
