Flying on an airplane can be stressful for most people. You’re putting your life in the hands of strangers, all the while sitting in a metal tube in the sky, praying it doesn’t just stop floating up there. These 18 secrets about flying aren’t necessarily going to make you feel better.

There are some dirty facts that the airlines don’t want you to know. Like…

Lavatory stalls can actually be unlocked from the outside.

Pilots are fed different meals, just in case one gives them food poisoning.

Pilots routinely doze off during long flights (and not just during their scheduled nap times).

No. One. Washes. These.

Some airline employees don’t get paid until the flight is in the air… meaning they might overlook issues if that means a successful take-off.

The oxygen masks actually only supply about 15 minutes of oxygen.

There is a guideline for how many screws are allowed to be totally MISSING.

Someone has probably changed a baby on your tray table.

Planes frequently get struck by lightning.

The emergency door handles exist so that, amid chaos, flight attendants don’t get pushed out.

People steal the flotation devices. All of the time.

Flight attendants can wait to serve food on night flights so that more people are asleep… and they have less work to do.

Bacteria levels in plane spigot water are 100x the limit in the US.

If ANYTHING in your bag vibrates, you will be called out for an examination. Even extremely personal items

The lights in the aisle are to help you get out during an emergency. It’s not for the atmosphere.

The earphones they hand out during flights? No one washes those either.

Aloha Airlines Flight 243 was a scheduled Aloha Airlines flight between Hilo and Honolulu in Hawaii. On April 28, 1988, a Boeing 737-297 serving the flight suffered extensive damage after an explosive decompression in flight, but was able to land safely at Kahului Airport on Maui. The only fatality was flight attendant Clarabelle “C.B.” Lansing, who was blown out of the airplane. Another 65 passengers and crew were injured. The safe landing of the aircraft despite the substantial damage inflicted by the decompression established Aloha Airlines Flight 243 as a significant event in the history of aviation, with far-reaching effects on aviation safety policies and procedures.
