Using the bathroom during a flight can turn into a small trial, especially if it is caught in the most influential hours. A flight attendant recently revealed what are the ideal moments to avoid long lines in the corridor.
According to News to Minuto, Sarah B., flight attendant with several years of experience, highlighted two periods during the flight that are usually the quietest to go to the bathroom: right after the collection of the trays of the first meal and just before the announcement of the landing.
Avoid confusion after meals
Although many passengers run to the bathroom as soon as the dining service ends, this is actually one of the worst moments to get up.
The carts still occupy the corridors and the movement aboard the plane is more intense, which can make it difficult to access and return to the place.
In the final phase of the flight, when you hear the preparation announcement for the landing, many try their luck again. But once again, it is common to form queues.
The on-board dealership tip is to anticipate this rush, taking advantage of the times when the other passengers are more distracted, resting or watching a movie.
The best moment on long flights
During long -term flights, the time when the cabin is darkened and many passengers fall asleep is also one of the most recommended to get up. The environment becomes quieter, there is less circulation in the corridors and it is more likely to find unoccupied bathrooms.
This period usually coincides with the digestion phase after the meal and the beginning of the film screening, when most passengers remain entertained or resting.
Preparation before flight to avoid inconvenience
Some go even further in preparation to avoid inconvenient trips to the bathroom. Some frequent travelers choose to control liquid intake before boarding, using the airport facilities shortly before entering the plane.
Tips during flight to avoid queues
According to, during the flight, the strategy is to observe the behavior of other passengers. Many avoid getting up in the times of greater movement and waiting for times of lower flow.
Another recurring tip among the most experienced is to avoid the front bathroom, visible to most passengers. Instead, they prefer to go to the bottom of the plane, where there is less visibility and therefore less competition.
