Travel a lot but do you know how to use the restroom on the plane properly?

Going to the bathroom in public is never comfortable, especially on planes, where toilets are small and often have people waiting in line. Immediately pocket 5 notes when using the restroom on the plane below to have a complete trip.

1. Do not use the restroom on the plane during takeoff and landing

No matter how “urgent”, you are not allowed to use the restroom when the plane is about to take off or land. This is regulated by airlines to ensure the safety of passengers at the two times when the plane is most prone to risks and incidents. After the plane takes off, you should wait for the seat belt warning light to go off. This is the time when passengers can move and use the restroom.

In addition, some newer aircraft have signal lights in the restroom. When you see the indicator light on, quickly move to your seat to be safe. The beacon means the plane is about to land!

2. Wrong exit door and toilet door

A seemingly simple thing, but there are still cases where passengers confuse the plane’s exit door with the toilet door. Opening the wrong door is quite dangerous because opening the emergency exit door at the wrong time greatly affects flight safety. Not only that, you can also be fined if you open the exit door without the flight attendant’s instructions.

The location of the restroom on the plane is usually located at the top or bottom of the plane, near the boarding gate. If you are going to fly for the first time, please keep that in mind.

3. Do not smoke in the toilet on the plane

Many airlines around the world have regulations that prohibit smoking (including e-cigarettes) during the flight. Many passengers think that only smoking is not allowed in the seat, but in the toilet you can smoke – that is not the case. Passengers are asked not to smoke even in the plane’s restroom. If you intentionally break the rules, you can be severely fined.

4. The toilet lid should be closed before pressing the flush

When using the restroom on an airplane, readers should close the toilet lid before pressing the flush button. Airplane toilets when flushing will create a very strong suction. You may be startled by loud sounds or easily drop things if you are not paying attention at the time.

5. Emergency attendant call button

On the toilet wall of some aircraft, there is a button to call an emergency flight attendant. Please pay attention to observe once when you first step in. In case of difficulty, please press this button. Do not hesitate, the flight attendants will help you when they know the information.
