<\/p>\nMany of us wonder about what happens on flights that we don\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n
Whether that\u2019s crew interrupting couples trying to get raunchy in the toilets or where the on-board staff sleep during a red-eye.<\/p>\n
But, while some of us might worry about falling asleep on our seat-mate or the crew running out of food other curious travellers have more morbid questions.<\/p>\n
Like, what happens if someone dies while you\u2019re on a flight?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s common knowledge that if you fall badly ill or someone starts giving birth that the tannoy will ask for any medical staff to come and help.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll then attempt to land the plane at the nearest available airport.<\/p>\n
But, what about when it\u2019s too late to help the unfortunate passenger?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well, a plane worker answered the query \u2013 and you might not like the answer.<\/p>\n
On Reddit, a poster asked: \u201cFlight Attendants, what\u2019s the dirty little secrets of your industry?\u201d<\/p>\n
Over 11,000 people liked the post with more than 3,400 people in-the-know replying in the comments.<\/p>\n
One insider replied: \u201cUsed to work for a UK airline (non crew).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was normal for passengers that died onboard to be kept in their seats until landing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey would be wrapped in blankets and propped up to look like they were sleeping to not freak out other passengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, a flight attendant replied: \u201cWe do keep them in their seats 'til landing, but the reason is not about not freaking out the other passengers, as we have to do a lot of first aid procedures, paging for doctors\/medical personnels, and I doubt anyone would be so blind not to notice.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about giving respect to the deceased, we do treat the body with care.\u201d<\/p>\n
While a member of the public exclaimed: \u201cI think I would know if someone died in my row so you wouldn't get by me on that one.\u201d<\/p>\n
