- Air travel is not the mystery it used to be, although there are many interesting things to still find out. Of course, anyone working in aviation may be familiar with some of these things, but perhaps there are still a few surprises in store. Let’s look at some in today’s video.

11. It is a common practice amongst airlines to overbook their flights.
This will be for part 2 of the video 😆
That’s not an unexpected quirk.
Of course they do. Ever heard of "no show"? If they didn't overbook they'd fly with 20% empty seats. Making tickets a lot more expensive for you and me...
I have a friend in Chicago, and that is his job with United Airlines; to figure out how many people to overbook on a given flight
I was surprised about the tomato juice....but I guess it's because I never liked the drink 😉
tomato juice sound like a North American thing?
I prefer orange juice!
This has to be nonsense. Tomato juice is more popular than tea or coffee? Or even cola?
@@ausie7of9 In what part of the world do you see it offered for you? I have flown 4-8 times a year for 45 years. I cant recall hearing of anyone ordering it or ever being offered it. I mainly fly most of Europe, Some Asian and Caribbean.
@@jun_suzuki42 Me too!
Concerning the ashtrays, yes it's forbidden to smoke on board at any times, but in case a passenger lights up a cigarette, we still can use the ashtrays to put it out before submerging the cigarette into the water. Something that looks like a relic of the yesteryears can still come in handy 😊
Need a wet towel to slap the smoker repeatedly in the face, too.
@@bennyattar8862 😀😀😀 we have in the business class 😀😀😀
1:42 _Aaahhh yes, I had Lasagna._
In Brazil we have all rows, including the 17.
Number 13 rows in Australian airplanes.
Fact: Water is always essential.
Wing lights are port and starboard the same as on ships, surely you knew that.
#2 also is for boats for the same reason but the lights are often at the tip of the bow
I remember the number 4 being unlucky in Korea, with some buildings skipping that number marking floors in buildings that exceeded that number of floors
A lot of surprising facts! I do see a few that I know already.
Great video! 👍
Unpopular fact: There is a dog at the bottom of a A320.
😀
Please tell me this is a joke...
Clearly, people won't like to seat on row 13 because their row might crash... 😕
Wow. That's fascinating👍
Just flew Hawaiian Air on an A330-200, there was no Seat F on each row of 2 window/4 ctr/2 window row configuration. Why no Seat F?
kind of makes you wonder if any rows ending in 8 would cost more if you were to book a seat in any of those rows on any Chinese airlines...
I new 9 facts from this video… Guess whick i didn’t know…. TOMATO JUICE!? I never ever seen someone order a tomato juice! Like wow! Is it a thing in America or in asia, im form Europe and never seen this!
I admit to being one of those common people who enjoy tomato juice when flying. Even since I was a child I liked it. Just to add to your pleasure, I am a European.
Trust me, avoid it, Lufthansa used to provide so many different juices in 2014 so I tried all of them and tomato juice was the worst.
As a frequent flyer i have never seen anyone ordered a tomato juice?
And if you look at seat outlays on all American Airline companies they all have a row 13?
And what's the fact about the body loosing one and half liter of water?
It varies between airlines, so if one plane on American Airlines has it then all have row 13
I know KLM doesn't have a row 13 in any of their aircraft.
2nd? 3rd?
Row 14 guys, you know where you are sitting
That might be true or you are from. But there are most certainly row 4, row 13, and row 17 in America
The only surprise was how lackluster the 'fun' facts were🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾♂️
“Fun facts” are never fun
Although we can calculate it and use it to fly, there is still no universal simple understanding on how lift is generated (Newton 3 Law v Bernoulli's Theory) - whoops, there go the nervous fliers again!
i mean both are true?
@@AmbientMorality it probably is - but in my basic flight theory it was highlighted that we don’t *know for sure*!!
@@markwaite5265 Really, it's physics so there's multiple equally-correct ways of understanding it. Like every problem in classical mechanics can be framed in a Newtonian way and a Lagrangian way, and you can prove both are identical. Similarly, you can prove that if lift is being generated by pushing air down, that necessarily requires generating a pressure distribution over the wing that produces that lift (and vice versa).
Please lock the lavatory door!! Otherwise another passenger will walk in on you!! Lock the door!!!
The one thing I always think about is how in a few decades they will laugh at how we used to fly. People will be sleeping for 2 hours and waking up on the other side of the world.
The ashtray is still there because it is better that is used rather than the paper basket. In case they smoke illegally.
Think that’s what the narrator said already
@@joeburns4294 : Not the way I understood it. Something similar, but not that.
Unfortunately I am forced to disagree with the "flying is safe". This seems manipulated using favourable statistics. There has also been several incidents coming out of covid19 travel restrictions (vehicles drifting into airplanes, planes suddenly loosing altitude, etc. The Wikipedia for "Aviation accidents and incidents in 2023" is at 15. This means about every 3rd day a serious incident is happening right now.
Air travel us very dangerous for example flying overvtge Bay of bengal is tge world's most dangerous area to fly over
It’s not the most dangerous, hundreds of commercial flights overfly it daily, rarely encountering problems
@@xoom328 I beg to differ as servre turbulence over that area
@@jamiesworld1690 But turbulence isn't dangerous for the plane itself.
@@mylesm12923 dangerous for the passenger
Surely the UFOs grabbing all the planes in the Bermuda Triangle is far more dangerous? 🙂
