A flight attendant has opened up about her job and revealed the “most important do’s and dont’s” for passengers before boarding a flight.
Cierra_Mistt on TikTok revealed “some secrets from being a flight attendant” to her 3.5 million followers that she said she will forever use when travelling.
She said: “I always make sure I have my own snacks and water before getting on a plane.
“You never know when you’re going to have a huge delay where flight attendants are instructed not to hand out snacks or drinks until a certain amount of time has passed – and that’s only if the door is closed.
“But also, on some flights – especially the shorter ones – it’s up to the flight attendants discretion if they want to provide a service or not.”

She went on: “Always use the bathroom before you board a flight and not while you’re boarding. Or at least wait until you’re up in the air to get out of your seat to go to the bathroom.
“Flight attendants are doing hundreds of things while everyone else is boarding so you don’t really want to get in the way between passengers and their seats and flight attendants and what they’re supposed to be doing.”
Cierra added: “But also because once everyone has boarded, it is the flight attendant’s responsibility to do a head count and make sure everyone is in their seats.
“If you’re in the bathroom, we can’t do that.”
