Things Airlines don’t want you to know – There’s no denying that air travel has definitely changed over the years. It’s been years since smoking was banned on flights, and there are meals available now for individuals with allergies and food intolerances. Even before you get on the plane, there are extreme security precautions to adhere to so that you’re not considered a threat to the other passengers.

Even though most people don’t have a problem complying with some of the new regulations that come with flying (for the most part), there are still so many things you may not know about airlines. For instance, do flights really have to be that expensive? Can’t you get a more elaborate meal, considering the price you paid for your plane ticket? Why is it so hard to get a refund? What’s so special about the first class section of the airplane, anyway?
Some of the things that the public isn’t privy to when it comes to airlines may be better left unsaid. But, like all businesses, there are some secrets that aren’t public knowledge because the information could be bad for an airline’s cash flow. Want to be more informed the next time you book a flight? Here are 12 shocking things airlines don’t tell you.
12. Sanitize Everything
When you get on the plane, get your sanitizing wipes out. Clean everything before you touch it. There’s a good chance that the airplane was not cleaned after the last flight. So, if you drop peanuts or pretzels on your tray and you haven’t sanitized the tray, it’s probably a good idea not to eat it. After all, there was probably someone sitting in the seat before you, carrying their own set of germs. People also bring their small children onto flights and often have to change their diapers mid-air. So, just think about that the next time you’re getting ready for a plane ride.
11. There’s a Fee For Price Comparison
If you use those price comparison sites to find the cheapest flight, you’re probably not going to get the best deal. That’s because airlines have to pay a fee each time you use a comparison website, and they make you pay for it once you book your flight. There are also some airlines, like Southwest and Delta, that don’t release the price of their tickets to third party websites. You’ll have more luck contacting the airline directly to ask about deals and specials if you want an affordable ticket. It’s also best to buy your tickets at a time when most people aren’t traveling (like a few weeks before Thanksgiving or before the summer season) so your travel plans will be more affordable.
