6. What you should do if you have a musical instrument



..."If you have a musical instrument NEVER CHECK IT. Take it to the gate with you. If they don’t have room on the plane they can "gate check" it and put it on last. When you de-board on your next stop it will be waiting for you as soon as you exit the plane.

This ensures that it goes on LAST and is taken off FIRST then left at the ramp for you to p/u immediately after de-boarding the plane."

7. They are Particular about their food.



My dad works for a large airline, he told me a few little things

2 Pilots are served different meals and cannot share, this is done in case of food poisoning.

Stealing food, even if they are going to throw it out can get you fired instantly. You can ask your supervisor, but you cannot take food. They don’t want people messing with it.

8. Bribe the flight Attendants.



My gf is a flight attendant. NO ONE tips flight attendants. If you give your FA a fiver with your first drink you’ll probably drink for free the rest of the flight.

Bring an unopened bag of or box of chocolates for the flight crew, especially long flights...they’ll treat you like a king for the whole flight.

Redditor evandan4 decided to test this hack and this was his experience:

Definitely trying this for my flight tomorrow.

Edit: Boarding now. I’ll update again when I land.

Edit2: Landed. I gave the person in the front a box of assorted chocolates. Keep in mind that this plane was not full. Before we took off I was approached by one of the attendants and they said there were some empty first class seats, and they upgraded me for free. I was offered 2 complementary glasses of wine and was checked up on probably 10 times.

It worked.

9. What your pets go through when flying.



One thing i can not stress enough is how your pets are treated.

While your airline will take the best possible actions, some things cannot be avoided, like the noise on the ramp.

I can not stand out there without ear protection, and imagine your pet sitting out there on the ramp waiting to be loaded onto the plane being exposed to the same amount of noise i am.

Please people, think twice before flying your pets.

10. A cool hack to get more space.

Arm Rests – aisle and window seat : Run your hand along the underside of the armrest, just shy of the joint you’ll feel a button. Push it, and it will lift up. Adds a ton of room to the window seat and makes getting out of the aisle a helluva lot easier.

11. The truth about electronics.

Pilot here. Having to turn off electronics on a plane is totally useless.

Mobile electronic devices won’t really bring an airplane down but they can be really annoying to pilots. Just imagine sitting in the flightdeck descending to your destination and hearing the interference of a 100+ cellphones picking up a signal. I have missed a clearance or 2 that way.

My sister is a flight attendant, she says after she tells everyone to turn off all electronics, she goes to the back and pulls our her phone and starts texting. – Dora_De_Destroya
