This is where flight attendants say not to stand on a plane.

Firstly, flight attendants hate it when passengers stretch out into the aisle.

Taller people often book the aisle seats for that very purpose, with legroom in economy class in short supply.

However, ex flight attendant Madeline Forsyth told Narcity that it can be a painful experience for passengers.

She said: “I get it … flights are long and there isn’t much legroom. It can be tempting to rest your leg or arm in the aisle, but this could be incredibly dangerous and painful.

“Not only can crew members and other passengers trip over you, but it’s also hard for the flight attendants to see over the food and drink carts, so you could risk getting hit by one of these heavy trollies.”

Her advice for any passengers who need to have a stretch is to get up between services and take a stroll up and down the plane aisle.
