00:00 Taking a plane has become a routine for many people.

00:04 But even the great travelers sometimes don't know what to never do in a plane.

00:09 And to start, you never get on foot.

00:12 It's one of the golden rules of plane travel.

00:15 Not to mention the unpleasant smells, the ground of the plane is very dirty.

00:21 People suffering from contagious foot problems may have walked barefoot in the apron aisles.

00:27 And it's very likely that there is a lot of dirt left by the previous passengers.

00:31 And we're not even talking about the floor of the toilets.

00:35 If your feet need a little freedom, take off your shoes.

00:38 But at least keep your socks.

00:40 Or wear a pair of light slippers.

00:43 Don't forget that the air pressurized from the cabin is as dry as that of the Sahara desert.

00:48 With only 20% humidity.

00:51 This is why you may feel some discomfort in the skin after a flight.

00:56 Wouldn't it be more fair to install air humidifiers in the cabin?

01:00 In reality, the extra weight would cost too much money to airlines.

01:05 In addition, the aircraft's hull is mainly made of aluminum and other metals.

01:09 And the wet air could cause corrosion.

01:12 So don't forget to bring a moisturizing cream and use it during the flight.

01:16 Always put your tablet back up as soon as the plane starts moving on the tarmac.

01:20 And never lower it during take-off and landing.

01:23 This is a safety measure that guarantees that you and the other passengers

01:26 will have a clear passage in case of emergency evacuation.

01:30 In the same order of ideas, keep your seat upright during take-off and landing.

01:35 First of all, an inclined seat can seriously slow down an emergency evacuation

01:39 because it blocks the person sitting behind.

01:42 Then, the more you lean back,

01:45 the more difficult it is to get into a safe position during an emergency landing.

01:50 Try to avoid sleeping during or just after take-off and landing.

01:54 First of all, it's not good for your health.

01:57 The main problem is that the air pressure inside the cabin

02:00 changes very quickly during these flight phases.

02:03 And this affects the air pressure in your ears.

02:07 So it's important to be vigilant during these phases,

02:10 to relax and clear your ears, for example by bathing or swallowing frequently.

02:15 Chewing chewing gum also works.

02:17 But you can't do it, which can lead to permanent damage.

02:21 And of course, there is the issue of safety.

02:24 Most accidents occur during take-off and landing.

02:27 If you sleep during these phases, you may not be alert enough in case of emergency.

02:32 The following recommendation comes from the Environment Protection Agency.

02:37 According to it, it is preferable not to drink hot drinks on the plane.

02:42 The water used to make tea and coffee does not come from bottles.

02:46 It's tap water.

02:48 But the plane's water tanks are often old and full of bacteria.

02:52 In 2004, a study revealed that more than 12% of the water samples contained harmful bacteria.

02:58 If you decide to drink a hot drink on the plane,

03:02 never pour yourself coffee or tea.

03:05 The flight staff is trained at this age in the crowded aisles of a moving plane.

03:10 This will prevent you from getting burned or other passengers.

03:14 It is preferable not to order Coca-Cola on a plane.

03:17 The cabin pressure causes a lot of foam.

03:20 For obvious reasons, the flight staff does not want to serve you a bucket filled with foam.

03:25 That's why they only fill half of the bucket.

03:28 Wait for the foam to fall back, then they finish pouring it.

03:32 It can take long minutes.

03:34 Keep your air conditioner open.

03:36 You will thus reduce the spread of germs.

03:39 The planes are equipped with high-quality air filters.

03:42 They contain up to 99% of the germs suspended in the air.

03:45 So you have nothing to fear.

03:47 But don't forget to wipe your tablet.

03:49 With eight times more bacteria than the toilet flush button,

03:52 it's the dirtiest place on board.

03:55 Another thing to avoid is to put your head on the window if you have a seat next to the window.

04:00 You don't know who occupied your seat before you,

04:02 and anyway, the window may be covered with germs.

04:06 Avoid wearing heels or high heels during a flight.

04:11 Your survival could be at stake.

04:14 Indeed, these two types of shoes make it very difficult to evacuate quickly from the plane.

04:20 If you wear high heels, you will have to leave them behind anyway,

04:24 in case the crew would use emergency heels during an evacuation.

04:29 The heels may damage the heel, and you will have to remove them.

04:33 Now, ask yourself if you really want to get out of the plane barefoot.

04:37 No?

04:39 Then opt for sturdy shoes with a solid sole.

04:43 In this case, you won't be barefoot on a scorching tarmac or in the wild.

04:49 Don't put heavy objects in the upper compartments.

04:54 In the event of a strong turbulence, these objects may not stay inside

04:58 and, if they fall, injure you or other passengers.

05:02 That's why, if it's difficult to lift an object to place it in the upper compartment,

05:06 it's better to place it under the seat in front of you or elsewhere.

05:09 It's your first trip to Egypt, and your new friends have invited you to lunch.

05:15 The food seems a bit bland to you, so you decide to make it a bit more salty and peppery.

05:21 As there isn't any on the table, you ask the waiter, and you notice that everyone is scandalized.

05:27 It turns out that it's a big insult for the cook when someone wants to change the original taste of the dish

05:33 that is on his plate. The cook does it for a good reason,

05:37 and wanting to change it means that the dish wasn't good enough.

05:42 In Japan, waiters, taxi drivers and hotel employees don't get any tips,

05:48 whereas in the rest of the world, we're used to doing it out of kindness.

05:52 They may feel offended because they're already paid to provide a perfect service

05:57 and that it's not necessary to add money to improve it.

06:01 If you really want to show your appreciation, you just have to say thank you.

06:05 However, you can give a tip to the private guide, the tour company and the performers.

06:11 The amount that seems appropriate to you can be put in an envelope and given to the performer.

06:16 If you want to impress your new friends or Japanese colleagues,

06:20 you have to take the time to study the protocol that governs the use of chopsticks.

06:24 As soon as you've mastered the art of holding them, don't forget not to rub them against each other.

06:30 People do it to get rid of the scabs, but it can make you feel like you're not satisfied

06:35 with the quality of the chopsticks that your guest has provided.

06:38 Don't place them vertically in your bowl of rice,

06:41 because it could be seen as an offering to the deceased.

06:44 Don't shake your chopsticks in the air and don't use them to point with your finger,

06:49 because these two gestures are considered extremely rude.

06:53 It's also forbidden to move objects with them or the hand that holds them.

06:58 It's disrespectful and you risk throwing things away.

07:02 In Italy, don't order cappuccino after lunch.

07:06 The locals don't do it because they think that milk and mousse make this drink a real meal,

07:11 which is not good for digestion.

07:14 In addition, you have to taste your coffee standing at the bar and pay for it before you even order it.

07:20 You have to pay in advance, then show it to the waiter to get your drink.

07:25 SwingGum fans, in Singapore, it's not going to be a piece of cake for you.

07:30 The use, sale and import of SwingGum are prohibited,

07:34 and you should pay up to several thousand dollars to have used SwingGum.

07:39 This law was introduced in the 1990s to make the city cleaner

07:45 and to make local fast trains arrive on time.

07:49 At the time of the launch of a new public transport system,

07:52 passengers stuck SwingGum on the sensors on the train doors,

07:56 which led to serious delays.

07:58 The new rules have allowed us to solve this problem.

08:01 The policy "No SwingGum" as well as many other strict rules

08:05 have helped make Singapore a really clean and pleasant city.

08:10 If you can't imagine your life without a mall,

08:13 local authorities recommend that you replace SwingGum with bananas.

08:18 In Bolivia, when someone asks you to pass them something,

08:22 like salt, at the table, don't give it to them directly.

08:25 Give it to the person sitting next to you and they will pass it.

08:29 If the person next to you asks you for it,

08:31 you can't always give it to them directly.

08:34 A table neighbor will have to help you.

08:36 This custom comes from a superstition that says

08:39 that giving something to someone directly in their hands is a bad omen.

08:43 For the same reasons, it is forbidden to reach out through the table

08:47 or to stand up to pass or throw something at someone.

08:50 And don't forget to keep both hands on the table

08:53 when you're not eating.

08:55 You might think you're trying to hide something

08:57 if they're not visible at all times.

09:00 When you arrive for a dinner in Jordan,

09:03 your hosts can offer you a bitter Arab coffee as a welcome drink.

09:07 Don't try to keep it for the end of the meal.

09:10 The polite way is to drink it quickly.

09:12 It's only when everyone's finished that people will start socializing again.

09:16 When you pass the empty cup to your hosts,

09:19 don't forget to shake their hand.

09:21 If you don't do it, it means you're asking to be served.

09:25 Don't rush to arrive on time for an event in Venezuela.

09:30 People might think you're impolite or hungry.

09:33 Politeness wants you to arrive 10 to 15 minutes late.

09:37 Events scheduled for 7 p.m. often start at 8 p.m. or later.

09:41 A popular story goes that in the 1980s,

09:45 a foreign journalist arrived at a press conference

09:48 more than an hour late.

09:50 When he noticed that the room was almost empty,

09:53 he went to apologize to the host for missing the event.

09:57 The host then told him that he was the first journalist to arrive.

10:01 It's quite surprising because the country's clocks

10:03 are officially 0.9 seconds ahead of the rest of the world for years.

10:09 Are you planning to travel by bus to Ireland soon?

10:13 Don't forget to thank the driver when you get off the bus.

10:16 You'll see that the majority of the people

10:19 do it in a polite way because it's a local rule.

10:22 Choose your gift well if you're invited to a house in Vietnam.

10:27 You can bring fruits, sweets or incense.

10:31 The handkerchiefs are considered the symbol of a sad goodbye

10:34 and the knives are the sign of interrupted relationships.

10:37 So never bring them.

10:39 Wrap your gift in colored paper and always avoid black.

10:42 The locals think that this color is bad omen.

10:46 When you present your gift, hold it with both hands.

10:49 Don't be surprised if your host doesn't open it right away.

10:52 The opening is made after the host leaves.

10:55 In India, don't leave anything on your plate.

10:59 It's a sign of disrespect for the food you were served.

11:02 Food is considered sacred in this country,

11:05 which would contradict your host a lot.

11:08 So wash and dry your hands before starting the meal.

11:11 Don't forget to congratulate the cook

11:13 and wait for the oldest to get up before leaving the table.

11:16 In southern India,

11:18 food is usually served on a banana leaf.

11:21 You have to fold it from the top when you've finished the meal.

11:24 Folding it from the bottom means you're not satisfied with what you've received.

11:28 In Denmark, it's not a question of bragging about your achievements.

11:32 The Danes consider that everyone is equal

11:35 and no one will talk about their professional success,

11:38 talent or superiority.

11:41 They expect the same from you.

11:43 If you're looking for a good topic to talk about,

11:45 the size of their country is a good option for the Danes.

11:48 They are really proud of their land

11:50 and all the wonders it has to offer.

11:53 If you're going on a trip to Germany

11:56 and you intend to take the famous motorway,

11:59 don't forget to fill up before taking the road.

12:02 It's forbidden to stop, park, turn around

12:05 or take a detour on this super-fast motorway.

12:08 Yes, even if you have to stop because you're out of gas,

12:11 you'll have to pay a fine

12:13 because you were supposed to plan things out better.

12:16 And although the motorway is technically not a speed limit,

12:19 be careful if you're driving through urban areas

12:22 like Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich,

12:25 or through construction work and dense traffic.

12:28 Special instructions on speed will be given at these places.

12:33 If you're planning to discover Cyprus by car,

12:36 get off before starting the vehicle.

12:39 It's forbidden to drink anything,

12:41 including water, while driving on the island.

12:44 If you can't resist the urge to grin or drink while driving,

12:47 get ready to pay a fine.

12:50 In Ethiopia, you have to think twice

12:53 before choosing a gift for someone.

12:55 They consider it a debt

12:57 that they will have to pay back later.

12:59 So, if you bring something very expensive,

13:02 the recipient will either have to spend a lot of money

13:05 for a return gift, or feel indebted to you.

13:08 Who wouldn't like to save on plane tickets

13:13 when preparing for a trip?

13:15 Here are some useful tips to make the most of the best deals.

13:18 Some cities, like London and New York,

13:21 have more than one airport,

13:23 and it can be profitable to choose one rather than the other.

13:26 Some of these airports are located far from the city centre.

13:29 That's why the tickets will be cheaper on the flights that land there.

13:33 I tested this solution myself

13:35 by landing in a place that looked like a freight airport,

13:38 except that there was a bus that left from there to link the city centre.

13:41 The advantage is that the ticket was cheap.

13:44 The disadvantage is that I had to spend

13:47 an extra hour on the road to get to the city centre.

13:50 What is the best day to book a plane ticket?

13:53 This is the subject of a constant debate.

13:55 It seems that Tuesday is the most suitable day,

13:58 but it's not.

14:00 More precisely, the tickets' prices at around 1h30

14:03 can be the most advantageous.

14:05 So, if you intend to buy tickets for the holidays of your dreams,

14:09 keep an eye on this day and this specific time.

14:12 There are excellent websites

14:14 where you can compare flights in order to find the cheapest ones.

14:17 And we'll get back to that soon.

14:19 But don't neglect the official websites of the airlines.

14:23 Many of them advertise private sales

14:26 for loyal customers who visit their website directly.

14:29 If your schedule allows you to negotiate the time of your departure,

14:32 do it.

14:34 Taking a good amount of time usually means paying less for the tickets.

14:38 To catch a flight at 6am,

14:41 you'll have to get up while most people are still

14:44 snoring in their sleepy beds.

14:46 At dawn, you may have some problems getting to the airport,

14:49 because all public transport doesn't work 24/7.

14:54 Another problem is that your car accidentally reverses your alarm.

14:58 That's why these flights are generally cheaper.

15:01 The same principle applies to night flights.

15:04 People generally don't want to catch a flight after midnight,

15:07 and the prices drop.

15:09 The good thing is that you'll have more time

15:12 to walk around once you arrive at your destination.

15:15 It's also possible to catch a flight with a flight attendant.

15:19 It's a cheaper option, especially for long-haul flights.

15:23 This method is not always a good idea.

15:26 All your plans can crash in a flash,

15:29 and you may have to make a cross on your connection.

15:32 Another approach to flights with a flight attendant

15:35 is to look for other flights to the same country.

15:38 Tourist destinations, big cities and capitals are generally more expensive.

15:42 It can be interesting to travel to a smaller city

15:45 and then fly to your destination.

15:48 Many of us like cookies,

15:51 but not everyone who is in our navigators.

15:54 Staying in the airspace will help you get cheaper flights.

15:59 How does that work?

16:01 Well, the price of the tickets depends on the demand.

16:04 Companies use the data on the number of people

16:07 looking for a particular ticket.

16:09 Let's say you're looking for a flight to London,

16:12 and you regularly check the airline's website

16:15 to find a good deal.

16:17 Your data indicates that you have shown interest

16:20 in a particular flight and a particular place,

16:23 and you see that the same volume suddenly becomes more expensive.

16:26 The airline knows that you are likely to buy it anyway,

16:29 and this can happen even if you update your navigator.

16:32 To get out of this situation,

16:35 surf anonymously or delete your cookies.

16:38 Do you remember that we recommended you to visit

16:41 the airline's websites directly?

16:43 You can also register to be informed of price drops.

16:46 Even if it is true that these constant notifications

16:49 are annoying, they are still useful,

16:52 and it is possible to follow airlines on social media.

16:55 Many companies use their official accounts effectively,

16:58 sometimes offering their clients last-minute offers.

17:02 In some cases, it is more convenient to book tickets by phone,

17:06 for example, if you travel in a group.

17:09 However, some airlines add additional costs

17:12 to these phone reservations.

17:15 And this can go up to 50 euros.

17:18 With this money, you could have offered yourself

17:21 a day's excursion during your holidays instead of spending it

17:24 and "jacassé" on the phone.

17:27 If you absolutely have to make a phone reservation,

17:30 ask your interlocutor if they plan to charge you

17:33 additional costs for the call.

17:36 When looking for a ticket, you can pretend to be in another place.

17:39 The best solution is to replace your country of residence

17:42 with the one you plan to visit,

17:45 and then use the airline's website.

17:48 Imagine you are in Japan,

17:51 booking on the airline's website and changing places

17:54 through a VPN, you will get more advantageous prices.

17:57 We said we would address the subject of flight comparison sites.

18:00 So let's not wait any longer.

18:03 SuzSite are small gems,

18:06 able to provide you with the best prices and options

18:09 from several airlines.

18:12 Once again, before clicking on the "confirm" button,

18:15 take a few seconds to check out the airline's website.

18:18 It can be more reasonable to book directly

18:21 and save the costs of an intermediary.

18:24 Another potential advantage is the reliability of their customer service.

18:27 With some airlines,

18:30 booking through a third party will transform

18:33 this whole communication process into a nameless imbroglio.

18:36 We will now share with you a strategy

18:39 that will allow you to have all the range just for you.

18:42 Imagine you are traveling with your best friend.

18:45 One of you should book the seat next to the skylight

18:48 and the other the seat next to the hallway.

18:51 The other passengers will probably choose another seat

18:54 and avoid the middle seat.

18:57 However, this method does not always work.

19:00 If the plane is fully occupied,

19:03 there will always be an unlucky person among you.

19:06 If you have a middle seat,

19:09 you can always offer him the seat next to the hallway or window

19:12 to sit next to your friend.

19:15 The second option is to book seats in the 13th row.

19:18 It has a bad reputation and the most superstitious tend to avoid it.

19:21 There is a good chance that no one else

19:24 would book a seat in this particular number.

19:27 Here is a little tip to reward you for all your efforts

19:30 in order to get the best deal possible.

19:33 Imagine you are at the airport.

19:36 You are watching your favorite show while waiting for the door to open.

19:39 And boom! The free Wi-Fi time at the airport is over.

19:42 Here is a solution to double it.

19:45 Simply go back the time of your device.

19:48 When you change the time of your plane,

19:51 the system does not understand it and will allow you to use it for an additional hour.

19:54 Our 14th point is about security.

19:57 Did you know that you should not change seats

20:00 when you are on the plane without informing the flight staff?

20:03 This rule applies to changing seats with someone from another row

20:06 and not with the person sitting next to you.

20:09 This can sometimes lead to an emergency landing of the plane.

20:12 The reason is related to the weight and its distribution.

20:15 Each plane has a weight limit when taking off,

20:18 which includes fuel, luggage and passengers.

20:21 Air stewardesses and air hostesses are responsible for the distribution of this weight.

20:24 A pilot explains it as follows.

20:27 If you move our seats without asking them,

20:30 we risk unbalancing the plane.

20:33 However, if you ask the air stewardesses to change seats,

20:36 they will let you do it after takeoff.

20:39 Obviously, people get up and move all the time on the plane.

20:42 So it's not like you can't change seats at all,

20:45 but it can be dangerous to do it without authorization.

20:48 Here is now a singular fact.

20:51 The black box, contrary to what its name indicates, is not black.

20:54 It is bright orange.

20:57 The volume recorder is its official name,

21:00 and it is orange so that when there is an accident,

21:03 the rescue team can easily spot it.

21:06 Which is, in your opinion, the dirtiest place on the plane?

21:09 Not the toilets or the seats, but this tablet in front of you.

21:12 And there is no such thing.

21:15 This "douillette" blanket that you asked for from the stewardesses is not very clean either.

21:18 According to a study, some airlines only wash their blankets once a month.

21:21 Now that you know all the tips,

21:24 you can plan your trip at an ideal price and...

21:27 maybe take your own blanket on the plane.

21:30 Sit back comfortably and enjoy the volume.

21:33 Everything comes to a point, who knows what to expect?
