FunTranscript
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?
