A FLIGHT attendant has revealed a plane hack that parents need to stop following when travelling with babies.
During Skye Taylor’s 16 years of service with Virgin Atlantic, one trend has shocked her the most.
Putting babies to sleep on the airplane floor is “absolutely crazy”, Skye declared.
The trend appears most popular with social media influencers, Skye revealed after discovering the hack on TikTok.
She said: “You certainly wouldn’t go and put your child in the footwell of a car.”
And added: “Why would you put them on the floor of an aircraft that could potentially drop 10,000ft within minutes and your child is laying on the floor under metal?”
Skye is adamant restrictions should be in place on uploading such content and believes there is a general lack of safety awareness around planes on social media.
She said: “It is crazy there are no restrictions on uploading stuff like that or making it look a certain way on social media because then it gives people ideas.”
According to her social media, Skye has spoken out many times about her passenger peeves.
It comes after a mum revealed the best airline for flying with young kids.
Her number one is Emirates, which she says makes all flyers feel like a VIP – not just those in first class.
“The service is impeccable, even in economy class,” she wrote in a Travel and Leisure article.
“On the flight, Emirates seems to be invested in building lifelong customers offering children Emirates branded plush toys, a blanket, and a kit with a spoon, wipes and baby toiletries.”
She explained that infant-in-arms tickets still allow kiddies their own separate baggage – making it much easier for parents to pack all the essentials.
The crew also dishes out a baby menu with choices of fruit or vegetable blended food for little ones.
“And, if you didn’t already feel like a VIP, a flight attendant will come by offering you the option of taking a Polaroid of you and your child in flight,” she added.
