There are secret compartments above your head at both ends of the airplane where the pilot

Small stairs lead to these sleeping quarters behind the cockpit and at the back of the

plane, either behind a locked door or a hatch disguised as a storage bin.

There’s a bed, a phone, and curtains for privacy if needed.

The crew member can control the brightness in the compartment, and in bigger planes,

Secret Bathrooms and Showers for the Crew Not every crew rest cabin, or CRC, has this

feature, but they do on really big commercial planes, and some private planes.

This way, if they’re on an especially long flight, the flight attendants and pilot can

grab a shower and just have some privacy to freshen up.

Secret Legroom Button If you have an aisle seat, there’s a button

under your armrest by the hinge that not many people know about!

If you press this button, the armrest will slide down completely parallel to your seat,

giving you some extra leg and elbow room!

It’s really there so that you can exit the plane more quickly if there’s an emergency,

but you can still press this handy little button to make yourself more comfortable.

The Hiding Handrail Have you ever noticed how flight attendants

always seem to slide their hands over the overhead compartments as they walk the aisle

Most overhead compartments have edges on the bottoms into which a handrail is molded!

This helps them get a better grip and keep their balance!

This is how flight attendants look so graceful as they move quickly along the plane.

Try it for yourself on your next flight; plus, it’s much better than stumbling into other

Constraints What if there’s an unruly passenger disturbing

I mean, you can’t exactly kick them out of the plane.

So for these situations, every plane is equipped with handcuffs!

Hopefully using the handcuffs would calm the situation down, but if not, you might have

There are fire extinguishers on every flight too, which is standard safety…but did you

know that most flights also have an axe or crowbar on board??

This is for rare emergency landings, so the windows of the plane can be broken open.

They’re generally used for international flights.

Air marshals are basically the police of the airplane: they can make arrests, but they

won’t intervene in a standard “rowdy passenger” situation.

They’re mostly there to watch over the flight and keep everyone safe.

You’ll probably never figure out who the air marshal is though – they’ll be dressed

like any other passenger and could be seated anywhere.

Except that big shiny badge and the cowboy hat… no not really.

A Hidden Onboard Life Saver Since 2015, all U.S.-based commercial airlines

require a defibrillator to be on board every flight.

If a passenger goes into cardiac arrest during the flight, a defibrillator could save their

It’s one of those things you may not think about, but are really grateful for when it’s

Secret Bathroom Latch Sorry, but this one is only for the flight

If the flight attendants or pilot think that a passenger is doing something suspicious

in the bathroom, hmmm, they can use this handy little latch to lock the bathroom from the

If there’s an unruly or rule-breaking passenger, pilots can issue fines, and even make unofficial

It’s best to just follow the rules and stay on the pilot’s good side!

Untold Superstition This isn’t true for all planes, but pay

attention to the row numbers the next time you’re trying to find your seat for a flight.

People are so superstitious about the “unlucky” number 13, that some airlines have completely

The row numbers on your plane may very well go from 12 to 14.

Making this move has been a cost-effective one for those airlines, because nervous passengers

Superstitious or not, it’s interesting to think about!

By the way, Row 13 is now located at the back of the plane, outside on the tail.

It can get pretty windy back there so….

Invisible Defense Against Mother Nature So you’re flying along and all of a sudden,

Now, your plane’s unlikely to get struck by lightning in the first place, but if it

The exteriors of airplanes are coated in lighting-resistant material.
