The last time you took you took a flight, you were probably worried about whether the plane was going to crash, right? Turns out, you should have been more freaked out by the coffee. You didn’t drink it, did you? (Hate to break it to you, but you basically drank toilet water.)
How do we know? Because we sat down with three flight attendants, all currently employed by two different major airlines, and asked them to share the dirty secrets that happen on every commercial flight. Obviously, we changed their names to protect their jobs. And we’re not naming the airlines. (Let’s just say if you’ve flown from New York to Los Angeles, the odds are pretty good that you’ve flown on one of them.) Prepare to have your airline innocence shattered. And remember, there’s always the bus!
