The <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/weather\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">weather<\/a> has taken a slight downturn on Merseyside today and holidaymakers will be hoping to jet off in search of some much needed sunshine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Holidaymakers may be hoping to dress for their destination ahead of the flight and opt to wear shorts on a plane. However, a flight attendant has explained why this may not be the best idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Tommy Cimato, who boasts over 400,000 followers on TikTok, shared the advice in a video that has now been viewed over 5m times. The flight attendant said: &#8220;Do not or try not to wear shorts when you&#8217;re on an aeroplane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It&#8217;s the same thing as the window, you never know how clean it&#8217;s gonna be, so if you have pants, you&#8217;re gonna have less germs.&#8221; Tommy also urged people to not sleep or rest their head on the window of the plane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The tip was based on concerns around how many people have touched the glass. He added: &#8220;Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;You are not the only that has done that and you don&#8217;t know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Tommy&#8217;s other tips that rounded off his top five were a little less controversial. He said: &#8220;Do not ever touch the flush button with your bare hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It&#8217;s honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross so when you flush, use a napkin or tissue that&#8217;s in the lavatory. Don&#8217;t forget to drink water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Stay hydrated. You wanna have about 16oz for every flight you go on, so keep that in mind. Don&#8217;t feel afraid to let a flight attendant know if you&#8217;re feeling sick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;So if you need food, water, or an air sickness bag, please feel free to let us know.&#8221; Some viewers took to the comments to share their surprise after the advice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">@Dublin posted: &#8220;Aren\u2019t the planes being completely sanitised between each flight now?&#8221; Alex added: &#8220;Don&#8217;t they sanitise after every flight?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The TikTok creator took to the comments to response to the query as he said: &#8220;The ground crew does all the plane cleaning, they try their best to keep it clean but this is just in case if it gets missed!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">A user named Mario took to the comments and added: &#8220;Do people in the comments really think the crew has time to clean every inch of the plane?
