Airplanes are germy, there's no doubt about it. One of the grossest places onboard? That would be your tray table, which is not often cleaned between flights, despite frequent usage by passengers. Some flight attendants have reported seeing passengers change their babies' diapers right on the tray table, which a later passenger will then eat off of. Yikes…

Forgetting to turn your phone on airplane mode isn't going to take down the entire plane, but it can actually interfere with your captain's communication with air traffic control (ATC). For instance, if a cabin full of passengers were to make calls during take-off, that could cause some problems. It's not a guarantee, but better safe than sorry, right?

As you board, the flight attendants are not only checking your boarding passes, they're also sizing you up. They're paying attention to see who might be a troublemaker on a flight (say, an unruly bachelor or bachelorette party), and who might be able to assist in the event of an emergency. Ultimately, they're judging you for safety reasons.

Pilots, like many office workers, are often exhausted, but in a pilot's case, a mistake made due to fatigue could be fatal. So sometimes pilots will take a little catnap while in the cockpit—if it's allowed. The rules are set by different countries: the United States forbids it, for instance, while Canada allows controlled naps that adhere to a strict set of restrictions. But on long-haul flights, there are multiple crews that'll take shifts, with the off-duty ones retreating to a secret cabin where they can sleep

There is, however, plenty of space in the cargo hold—and planes sometimes do transport dead bodies down there. Passengers are also allowed to bring cremated remains into the cabin with them, as long as they follow specific rules regarding containment

The International Air Transport Association doesn't actually have any formal rules to follow when a passenger dies mid-flight. There are suggestions, however, including putting the deceased back in their seat if the flight is full. Unlike cruise ships, which have morgues, space is very limited for dead bodies in cabins. Talk about a real-life nightmare.

Fact: 80 percent of plane crashes happen in the three minutes after takeoff or the eight minutes before landing. So buckle up and pay attention during that time, just in case anything goes awry. But do keep in mind, it's incredibly safe to fly, and even if you were involved in an accident, you've got about a 95 percent chance of survival.

Airplanes are allowed to fly with broken parts, but only if they are unnecessary to the safe operation of the plane. There's a document called the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) that outlines exactly what equipment is mandatory for a safe flight. For instance, if your windshield wiper isn't working, that's perfectly all right—unless there's precipitation within five miles of your departure or arrival airport

A quick Google search about the safest seats on a plane will come up with all sorts of results. In one study of plane crash data by Popular Mechanics, it was determined that passengers in the back of the plane are 40 percent more likely to survive than their companions in the front (so pass on that upgrade if you're a nervous flyer). But ultimately, you're going to want to sit as close to the exit as possible for the best chance of survival—after a plane crash, you've got about 90 seconds to get out before the fuel tanks might explode.

Sure, the taste of your in-flight meal has definitely improved over the years (you can thank new tech—and partnerships with celebrity chefs, particularly for business-class menus), but it's actually not very good for you nutrition-wise. According to a flight attendant on Reddit, plane food is all "salt, sugar, fat, and simple carb content."
