Airplanes , often seen as marvels of modern travel, are also hotbeds of germs and grime. With hundreds of passengers cycling through daily, it's no surprise that planes can be notoriously dirty. Despite regular cleaning, there are certain areas on a plane that remain particularly filthy, according to flight attendant Cher Dallas .
In a recent TikTok video, Dallas exposed the dirtiest spots on an aeroplane - places she recommends passengers avoid touching if they want to stay germ-free. Flight attendant Cher Dallas, who has been in the industry for five years, took to TikTok to share her insider knowledge on the filthiest parts of an aeroplane. Her revelations are a mix of expected and surprising areas, each one a potential hotbed for germs.
“The filthiest parts of the aeroplane, in my opinion, as a five-year flight attendant - some of these may be expected, and then some of them may be a surprise,” Dallas begins, before diving into the specifics. Window Shades One of the most shocking insights Dallas shares is that window shades are never cleaned. “I've never seen the window shades get wiped off ever in my career,” she says.
With countless passengers touching them throughout the day, they accumulate layers of dirt and bacteria, making them one of the dirtiest spots on the plane. Bathroom Sinks The aeroplane bathroom is another area where cleanliness is lacking. According to Dallas, not only are the sinks rarely cleaned, but they also see some pretty gross behaviour.
