And we’re not talking about drunk, entitled sociopaths - those are pretty obvious. A former flight attendant has shared the signs that something may actually be wrong on your plane which could result in an emergency landing. The time to actually worry is when you see the cabin crew doing a couple of things. According to ex-flight attendant Lisa Hughes, here are the things you want to look out for.
- Increased activity from the crew, including frequent communication with the cockpit, can indicate an issue
- Changes in tone or urgency in announcements from the cockpit or cabin crew are signs that something unusual might be happening with the plane.
- If the crew prepares emergency equipment or briefs certain passengers (like able-bodied individuals) to assist in a potential evacuation
Hughes also explained that using your senses is a good way to know if something is wrong.
- Unusual noises, vibrations, or changes in the flight pattern (such as sudden altitude changes) can indicate mechanical issues
- Changes in cabin lighting, deployment of oxygen masks, or the initiation of emergency protocols are clear signs of trouble
So…happy flying?
