On TikTok, a flight attendant with a little more than 400,000 subscribers shared a video in which he advises travellers not to wear shorts when travelling by plane.

It is an item of clothing that is as practical as it is comfortable when it comes to travel, especially during summer vacations. However, it would be quite unwise to wear shorts on a plane, and for a reason that few travellers suspect. At least according to Tommy Cimato.

Shorts on the plane, a bad idea?

Why should you avoid wearing shorts whilst on a flight? Simply avoid collecting millions of germs during your trip.

Indeed, the flight attendant shares a bunch of tips on what not to do whilst on an aeroplane. The first of them, just as surprising: 'Don't fall asleep and don't lean your head against the window'

You're not the only one who's done this, and you don't know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window

When it comes to why you shouldn't wear shorts on the plane, Tommy explains:

Don't wear or try not to wear shorts when you're on a plane. It's the same as the window! You never know how clean it's going to be, so if you have pants on, you'll have fewer germs.

What else shouldn't you do on a plane?

Next comes the turn of a small room whose cleanliness is always debated on aeroplanes: the toilet. Tommy advises not to touch the flush button with your bare hands.

It's honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross, so when you flush, use a towel or tissue that's in the toilet.

Finally, if you feel sick on the plane, Tommy urges you to ask the flight crew for help:

Notify a flight attendant if you feel sick. If you need food, water or an airsickness bag, please let us know.
