To reach from one place to another, air travel is given more preference because it takes less time. Every day millions of people travel by flight across the world. Some people travel by plane every second-third day. Despite frequent travel, there are many facts about airplanes and air travel that most people are unaware of. There are many such facts related to airplanes, which you will be surprised to know. Many things happen during a flight that no one gives you any information about. There are many secrets that airline companies keep hidden. Today in this episode we are going to tell you about some interesting facts related to flights.

Why are dim lights lit?
Often people think that dim lights are lit on flights so that the passengers can rest their eyes and sleep properly while traveling. However, it is not so. Apart from all these reasons, this is done so that there can be savings in power supply. In fact, during landing or take-off on the runway, the plane needs extra power due to which all the lights in flight suddenly switch off and dim lights come on in their place.

Oxygen masks work only for 15 minutes
Airlines have the facility of oxygen masks to be used in case of emergency in case of low air pressure or lack of oxygen in flight. But do you know that in some cases they prove to be completely useless? On the flight, the air hostess gives you information about how to use it, but these masks do not work for more than 15 minutes. After this, the oxygen supply stops, due to which a situation of hyperventilation begins.

Pilots do not get passengers' food
Do you know that the food you get on a flight is different from the food the pilot gets? This is because the health of the pilots is taken utmost care of in flight. During air travel, they are served only light food which is easily digested. At the same time, if pilots are given fried, roasted, or spicy food like passengers, they will remain sitting in the toilet due to stomach upset. In such a situation, who will land you is a matter to think about!

There is a small invisible hole in the airplane window
There is a small invisible hole in an airplane window that regulates the air pressure between the windows and keeps them free from fog. Airplane windows are made from acrylic material and consist of three panes. The outer and inner vanes regulate the air pressure inside and outside the airplane, while the invisible hole in the middle vane regulates the air pressure between the outer and inner vanes.

Pilots fall asleep at altitude
Imagine if you are sitting in a plane and your pilot falls asleep, what would happen? It sounds a little scary but it is true. Actually, after reaching altitude, air pockets start forming inside the plane due to which the pilot feels sleepy. In such a situation, the pilot turns on the autopilot mode of the plane before sleeping, but do not worry, after one pilot sleeps, the other pilot remains awake. In this way, even after the pilot falls asleep, the plane continues to fly smoothly in the air.

Camera in plane
If you and your partner are thinking that there is no one on the plane and you can change seats anywhere or do anything on the flight, and no one is watching you, then you are absolutely wrong. Are. Almost every flight has hidden cameras, which keep an eye on the activities of its passengers.

There are emergency exit doors in the cockpit.
Airplanes have many emergency doors for passengers through which they can exit in case of an accident. But do you know that in case of emergency, there is an exit door in the cockpit of the aircraft which is located at different points in different types of airplanes to get the pilots out of the aircraft?

Upon someone's death
If someone dies in flight, most planes do not have a special area where the body will be kept until landing. According to the BBC, in most cases, the deceased passenger is taken back to their reserved seat and, if there is no vacant seat, the body is wrapped in a blanket and laid down.
