A flight attendant joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to share more about what really happens and the things nobody ever tells us when we fly.
"There is a lot of stuff that people don't know about. However, if anything goes wrong with the plane, we must tell people about it," the flight attendant says.
"The brace or crash position is an instruction that is given to prepare for a possible crash. The position puts passengers in a safe position for if something were to fall - it would fall on the seats.
"We put the lights off before landing so that your eyes can adjust to the light. The blinds must be open because pilots can't see behind them so we (flight attendants) must inform them if something goes wrong.
"We ask people to not be on their phones so that we can have their attention. We have 90 seconds to remove everyone from the flight if something happens."
