Behind the scenes of air travel, flight attendants have insider knowledge that passengers might find surprising:

A thorough “general” cleaning of an airplane typically occurs only about once a month.

It’s always noted when two individuals head to the restroom together, an infrequent but not unheard-of occurrence.

Despite their experience, the sound of babies crying onboard is something flight attendants never truly get accustomed to; rather, they seem to develop a way to filter out the noise without becoming desensitized to it.

Romantic relationships among crew members are reportedly quite common due to the close working environment and frequent travel.

Flight benefits can vary significantly depending on the airline. While some offer free flights, others provide discounts instead.

Despite often being presented in sealed packaging, the in-flight headphones distributed to passengers are frequently reused, undergoing a simple wipe-down before being resealed.
