TikTok steward reveals airplane hygiene tips and travel advice

In recent years, traveling by plane has become exceptionally popular thanks to affordable connections. These connections allow you to quickly get to even the most remote corners of the world for little money. Thousands of passengers pass through the decks of various airlines every day.

Tommy Cimato, a popular steward on TikTok, shared some advice with his followers about what to avoid when traveling by plane. Some of the advice might be somewhat surprising.

In a video posted on social media, Cimato urged netizens to carefully consider what outfit they would wear to board the plane. It turns out that shorts are better avoided.

On a plane, do not wear or at least try not to wear shorts. You can never be sure how clean it will be on board, and long pants will help you avoid germs left behind by other passengers, he explained.

The man also shared with netizens other rules concerning hygiene on board. He pointed out, for example, that he should not touch the lever or button of the toilet flush with bare hands. He emphasized that it's just unhygienic and quite disgusting, so use a napkin or tissue when flushing.

Due to the many people travelling by plane and the often short time between one flight and another, Cimato suggested not leaning your head against the window while sleeping.

You are not the only person who does this. You don't know how many people and children have wiped the window or other things all over it, he stated. He also appealed to people to remember to stay hydrated during the flight and to report any ailments to the flight crew.

He emphasized that we are here to help you, so if you need food, water, or a bag for air sickness, do not hesitate to let us know.
