Flight attendant's warning to people who fall asleep on planes

A flight attendant has issued a warning to anyone who likes to fall asleep on a flight.

His warning is particularly aimed at those who get sat next to the window. While many people like to relax on a plane, some seats are allegedly dirtier than others.

In 2022 flight attendant Tommy Cimato gave a warning to people online with a few dos and don'ts in regards to plane passenger etiquette.

He said: "Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window."

The flight attendant went on to warn people that leaning your head on a window may be problematic due to cleanliness.

He told the Mirror Online: “You are not the only one that has done that and you don't know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window.”

And it wasn't just people's sleeping habits that Tommy spoke about but also what people wear to travel in. He added: "Don’t or try not to wear shorts when you're on an airplane. It's the same thing as the window – you never know how clean it's going to be, so if you have pants, you're going to have less germs.”

Tommy also warned people against pressing the toilet flush button on planes. He said: "He said: “Do not ever touch the flush button with your bare hands. It's honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross, so when you flush, use a napkin or tissue that's in the lavatory.”
