On the eve of the New Year holidays, crew members of various airlines recall the most significant incidents that happened to them during flights. A persistent video blogger who filmed herself and her fellow passengers during the flight made it to the top.

This caused a real scandal on board the plane when a man noticed that he was being filmed without his permission. The man said that she was very talkative, but he was flying because of a family emergency, so he was in a bad mood, writes DailyStar reports..

The scandal began after a man who was next to him told him that she was "filming" him while he was sleeping, but also doing "stupid things" like pretending to touch his face, waving her hand in front of his eyes, and pointing her hand at him. The man was outraged and said: "I asked her to delete all the footage she shot of me. She did not get my consent. She said she didn't need it."

Then the scandal broke out with renewed vigor: "I told her... 'Are you serious? I was so tired of it at that moment, so I warned her: don't film me anymore, or I will complain to the plane's staff. After that, she stopped filming me."

Destani Armstrong, a flight attendant, told about some other unpleasant incidents. In particular, she spoke about some of the sneaky tricks people use to try to get an airplane upgrade.

She noted: "Our airline considers this theft. We never allow it. If someone wants to change the cabin or even get an upgrade, they have to do it themselves." Destani was responding to a question when a fan asked her how often a flight attendant gives passengers free class upgrades.

The flight attendant added that passengers can get into a lot of trouble if they try to manipulate the class upgrade in the cabin. According to her, the airline considers it theft because the passenger did not pay for the corresponding ticket.

The flight attendants also recall another egregious case when one of the passengers started painting her nails right during the flight in the cabin. She was also accused of drinking alcohol during the flight.

Users on the web have been blasting the ill-mannered passenger: "Nail polish users: please don't wait until you're in a confined space with hundreds of strangers breathing recycled air to apply your nail polish. Some of us are very sensitive to toxic fumes. As for the alcohol you brought on board, it's against the law."

At the same time, the rating also included an unhygienic father who changed his son's diaper three times while sitting in the passenger seat. Angry passengers complained that the cabin "smelled like hell" and insisted that parents should not be allowed to take their children on certain flights.

There was also a child sitting in another seat who was screaming from time to time.

At the same time, flight attendant Kali Harlow told the Daily Star that angry passengers can be an unbearable disadvantage in her job.

"The most annoying thing about passengers is that they blame the flight attendants for things we can't control. This happens because we are the face of the company and the easiest target to take out their frustrations on," the flight attendant complains.

In particular, passengers accuse flight attendants of pouring coffee themselves near the terminal, even though they were not even on the plane. In addition, passengers also blame flight attendants for the fact that there is a blizzard outside, and the list goes on.

In addition, the rating of the biggest troubles on board included a traveler who was too loud. Recently, the video in question went viral after it was posted on TikTok. The man was shouting loudly at the flight attendants because a child on the plane had been crying for "45 minutes."

The video captures the outraged man shouting throughout the plane, demanding that the child's parents make the baby "shut up." While most of us know that it is unpleasant to hear a child screaming on an airplane, there is often little that moms and dads can do. At the same time, flight attendants and staff tried to calm the man down, but to no avail.

Another annoying situation on board is uncontrolled children. In the spring, American baseball star Anthony Bass criticized the airline for forcing his pregnant wife to pick up food that their child had thrown around.

He claims that she was forced to get down on her hands and knees to pick up the popcorn that their toddler had left on the floor. The stewardess spoke out on the issue and criticized the "poor parenting" of the child that led to the scandalous situation.

And finally, another scandalous situation that the flight attendants talked about was naked tourists. It is noted that blogger Kine-Chan was preparing to board a plane at the Brazilian airport in Balneário Camboriu. She surprised people around her with an outfit that was almost non-existent.

When she approached security, they told her to "go home and change" because her clothes were not suitable for the flight. In turn, a bewildered Kine-Chan was outraged by the "very unpleasant situation" that had happened to her.

Although it may seem unfair, airlines are allowed to have their own dress code. If they feel you are not dressed according to the standards, they can ban you from flying and you can also lose your refund.
