Most of the time, when traveling by plane, we will spend a considerable amount of time inside the aircraft. Therefore, it is normal for some companies to offer some delicacies – or full meals in case of very long journeys.
It turns out that not everything is so suitable for consumption. This is what flight attendant Celina Bedding warned, in an article published in the newspaper “The Mirror”.

According to her, a certain amount of care should be taken with the food offered by Flight attendants during flight. As she told the newspaper, many dishes have a lot of salt and sugar and this has an explanation.
According to the professional, our taste buds are half asleep due to the altitude and pressure inside the aircraft. Therefore, these extra seasonings will guarantee tastier food – despite being more harmful to health.
She suggested people always bring their own food from home – if possible. Furthermore, she advised passengers to opt for salad and drink plenty of water before, during and after the flight.
Celina also said that many people drink water from the bathroom tap instead of asking the flight attendants for a bottle. She warns that “it is not hygienic to drink it“.
“You might think [my alert] is just a way to get a drink bought, but it's actually for [your] health,” she stressed.
According to a report by “The Huffington Post”, a flight attendant named Whytney warned that passengers should also be careful with two drinks offered: teas and coffee.
The reason may surprise you. According to her, it is due to the questionable cleanliness of the equipment used to do both. Whytney also reported that tap water is often used to make them.
Finally, she asked passengers be careful with the ice offered. He guesses? It may also have been made with tap water. Yuck!
