Comfort is usually the factor that influences what outfit we wear during a flight — but if shorts are your go-to, this flight attendant says you should reconsider.

In a recent viral video, TikTok user Tommy Cimato talked his 106,000 followers through the five things all travellers should know before boarding a plane.

As tempting as it was, Mr Cimato warned viewers not to lean against windows if they were in the window seat.

“Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window,” he said.

“You are not the only that has done that and you don’t know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window.”

And that was the same logic behind his next piece of advice.

“Don’t, or try not to, wear shorts when you’re on an aeroplane,” he said.

“It’s the same thing as the window! You never know how clean it’s gonna be, so if you have pants, you’re gonna have less germs.”

And if plane bathrooms didn’t stress us out enough, the flight attendant recommended not pushing the flush button with bare hands.

“It’s honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross, so when you flush, use a napkin or tissue that’s in the lavatory,” he said.

While you’re engrossed in a movie or a good book, it could be easy to forget to drink water throughout the flight – and the attendant was quick to stress just how important it is to stay hydrated.

“Don’t forget to drink water,” he said. “You wanna have about 16oz (473mL) for every flight you go on, so keep that in mind.”

Finally, Mr Cimato urged passengers not to be shy about asking attendants for help if they needed it.

“Let a flight attendant know if you’re feeling sick,” he said.

“So if you need food, water, or an airsickness bag, please feel free to let us know.”
