Flight attendant issues warning on why you should never stand up as soon as plane lands

The second a long haul flight comes to an end and the pilot has safely stopped the plane, the first thing we want to do is stand up and stretch our legs.

But one flight attendant has revealed that it's something we should be avoiding at all costs.

We all know the pain of being on a cramped flight and having to deal with kids kicking the back of your chair or someone snoring loudly in your ear.

It's good to be aware of plane etiquette so we were rather stunned to learn this flight attendant's advice.

Tommy Cimato, a flight attendant who regularly takes to TikTok to share behind the scenes content and travel tips, addressed those who stand up as soon as the plane lands - among other things.

He began his list of tips by saying that nobody should ever go barefoot on a plane.

He said: "Do not go barefoot, do not take your shoes off - the floors are filthy.

"I see so many people do this, it is just not sanitary, don't do it."

Tommy noted the importance of never getting up during turbulence as you could get injured.

He added that the pilot or flight attendants will 'always try to let you know if they expect turbulence'.

Tommy then mentioned that nobody should be 'snapping' at flight attendants in any scenario.

He continued: "You shouldn't be doing this in general, but clicking your fingers to get someones attention - you don't need to be doing that."

The flight attendant also stressed the importance of listening to the safety procedures, no matter how many times you think you've heard it before.

Tommy said: "Don't ignore the flight attendants safety demos. In the unlikely event of something happening if you paid attention, you are 80% more likely to survive."

We don't want to mess around with those odds.

And then he shared that we should not be standing up as soon as the plane lands.

He said: "It is not safe. You want to make sure you are seated until you're at the gate and the seatbelt sign turns off."

Viewers were quick to share their thoughts on the flight attendant's advice.

One user sarcastically wrote: "What if I told you standing up as soon as the plane parks doesn't help you get off any faster."

Another added: "I thought this was common sense."

While a third commented: "This is helpful."
