' A cabin crew members has listed things travellers should be careful of during their flight

A flight attendant has issued a warning to people who fall asleep on a plane.

While many people like to relax during their travel and take a nap throughout their flight, a flight attendant warned those sitting by the window to be careful as some parts of the plane are dirtier than others. Tommy Cimato said: "Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window.

He warned that you never knew how many people had done the same and whether the window had been cleaned or not. He added: “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.” - as Mirror Online reports.

Tommy also advised holidaymakers to not wear shorts on a flight. While jetsetters opt for shorts on a plane due to increased levels of comfort, the cabin crew members warned a plane can be incredibly unhygienic so its best to avoid as much direct contact as possible

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.”

Reason #11 why I don’t fly commercial anymore, since TWA 800 was shot down in July, 1996.

I hear the article saying that the airlines do not do much cleaning of the aircraft.

Bring your own wipes on board if the TSA doesn’t confiscate them.

Don’t even think about the mile-highers in the bathroom.

Once you’ve in the lavatory abandon all hope. Don’t touch this or that is like warning people not to play with matches in hell.

Also the gate areas are full of germs too. I saw a man flossing his teeth in public with a considerable amount of flossing discharge spray. US travel is just disgusting currently.

While jetsetters opt for shorts on a plane due to increased levels of comfort,

There was a time when seasoned travelers dressed better than the other passengers, having a wardrobe that included dressy but lightweight, breathable fabrics. They had respect for themselves, and also for the people serving them and the other passengers.

Even more basic and critical - do NOT use a grocery cart flip down/out section to put food items in. I never use the big carts. Always the ones without child seats.

I would almost guess I saw that plan in St. Louis.

I traveled through Lambert regularly and there was ALWAYS a Paris-bound 747 at a gate opposite my plane, which was usually an MD-82/84.

I had accumulated so many miles I had enough for a first-class round trip for two Europe.

I didn’t redeem them in time, unfortunately.

Or maybe, fortunately.

Because I probably would have been on a connecting flight to a 747 out of Lambert.

As it is, I’ve never gotten to ride in a 747.

My favorite aircraft, the Lockheed L-1011 is all but gone now.

You mean, like with a cloth?
