Everyone wants to feel comfortable during a flight. That's why people wear tracksuits and take off their shoes on the plane. But it's better not to take off your shoes.

Many people are afraid of flying. Nowadays, it is a safe form of transport. However, unpleasant or dangerous situations may arise.

A former flight attendant advises passengers not to take off their shoes during a flight. This is because in an emergency, it will increase your chances of survival. You will also avoid unpleasant looks from others if you take off your shoes.

Keep your shoes on your feet

It is unhygienic and very inconvenient for others to take off their shoes. Most of these people put their feet on the armrests of the seats in front of them. For other people, this is a very unpleasant and irritating sight. Imagine an accident. You need to get to the exit or another part of the plane. Your feet will be bare, and you will be walking through shards, debris and other objects. All this can injure or damage your feet.
