f you are boarding a plane anytime soon, you might want to check out these secrets picked up from a recent Reddit thread.
Anonymous employees of airlines and airports reveal – shockingly – that oxygen masks only have about 12 minutes of air available and that locked bathrooms can be opened from the outside (via a hidden latch).
Locks on zippered suitcases are useless
According to user royalsiblings, “You can pop a zipper with a pen and drag the locked zipper pulls around the bag to close them back up. I've done this many times to identify bags that are tagless and locked.
Bring your own headphones
“I used to work for warehouse that supplied a certain airline with items. 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,” said Reddit user ichigo29.
Remove old flight tags
“Not a secret, just common sense; the reason some bags miss their flight or get misrouted is because passengers don't remove old tags. It confuses handlers as well as the conveyor belt scanners. I see it happen all the time,” said Redditor –aurelius.
Be kind to employees
“The nicer you are to us, the more we can do for you. Ran out of beef? Ask politely and we will get you a fillet mignon from first class. Your neighbour is noisy? Tell us nicely and we might be able to get you a better seat,” said flight attendant and Redditor ihatcoe
“Be nice to the ticket agent and they will pretty much always let you get away with overweight bags. If you were funny, I'd even not charge you for bags,” said WorseToWorser.
Maybe skip the coffee
“The coffee is absolutely disgusting because the no one washes the container that goes out every morning. The station agents who get paid way too little don't give a shit about cleaning it. I certainly didn't when I worked for AA. Also, because we weren't given the proper supplies to clean it. We pretty much just rinsed it out and dumped coffee into it,” said WorseToWorser.
