The former airline industry employee, Alison Hope, wrote a scathing
article revealing the dark secrets that her ex-colleagues don't want
you to know about, a Mirror Online report shows.
Passengers may look forward to tucking into an in-flight meal next
to a quiet neighbour as they enjoy a fresh cup of coffee. But unknown to
them, the in-flight meal may contravene hygiene standards, the coffee
may be made with dirty water and that elderly person next to them might
just be dead.
Alison Hope explained passengers should on no account drink tea or
coffee as the water used is stored in tanks that are hard to clean and
so may have high amounts of bacteria.
She also only advised passengers to eat properly sealed food from a
reputable company unless they were flying Emirates or Singapore
Airlines.
She wrote: "LSG Sky Chefs, one of the largest contractors
providing meals to airlines, frequently gets slapped with health
violations , and the conditions under which it prepares food are often
less than savoury".
Before eating, passengers should clean their tray table with
antibacterial wipes because it may be covered in faecal matter or other
nasty things.
She wrote: "Passengers often use the trays as their own private
diaper changing tables, and sadly, they are cleaned far less than you’d
be comforted to know."
The tray table could also be stained with vomit or other bodily
fluids from passengers taking advantage of being on holiday to drink
until they are sick or even have sex or masturbate in the seats.
She also added people die mid-flight quite regularly, often of heart conditions.
She said: "When someone dies in-flight, a plane will often
divert to the nearest city, but sometimes, people slip away so quietly
that no one notices until they don't get up from their seats upon
landing."
If that is not enough to put anyone off flying for good, Alison
said there is always a risk that the niggling techical faults that
plague planes might turn into something serious.
She said virtually every plane has something wrong with it and most
problems, if they were not too severe, would be left until the plane
underwent routine maintenance.
