Flight attendant reveals the food you should never take on a plane – or risk infuriating crew | The Sun

A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the foods you should never take on the plane, or you risk infuriating the crew.

Caroline Kneitz worked as a flight attendant for Emirates for six years.

She revealed the big no-no when it comes to taking snacks on a flight when travelling with kids.

She told Mail Online: "The worst offenders when it came to children and the messiest snacks on planes were chips and cookies.

"There would often be a peppering of crumbs left by kids on the seat and around the footwell."

She said the best food to take is chopped fruit and vegetables as they make much less mess.

Flight attendant says you can get extra food on the plane for free – here’s how

It comes after a dad sparked debate when he slammed crew for making his pregnant wife clean up the mess caused by their kids.

Baseball player Anthony Bass' was travelling with his family when he said crew told his 22-week pregnant wife to pick up the mess caused by his 5-year-old and 2-year-old kids.

Posting a picture on Twitter, he showed the mess caused by his kids who had thrown popcorn around their seats and into the aisle

While people were divided, most people said that it was on him to clean up their own mess and not leaving it to the poor cleaning crew.

Caroline chipped into the saga, saying passengers should "treat public spaces as if they are rooms of your home," adding it was a "form of vandalism" to cause a huge mess.

She added: "So yes, I do believe a parent should take care that the kid doesn't mess up the space."

However, she also admitted that it wasn't the job of the flight crew either – and was instead for cleaning crew.

Despite this, most airlines have very quick turnarounds between flights, so keeping the cabin clean speeds up the process.

Verna Montalvo, a cabin cleaner for American Airlines at Dallas-Fort Worth airport, told the Washington Post that she and her team sometimes had as little as four minutes to do the job each time.

When travelling as a family,avoid taking anything smelly onto the plane too – flight crew said their biggest annoyances are things like cooked eggs, fish and even broccoli.

One flight attendant said: "When you open the container the broccoli is in, if it’s cooked, oh my god, I want to barf. It's so bad."

Skip any pasta – as it "doesn't reheat well" – while bread rolls are so carb heavy that they can make your jet lag much worse.

Food always tastes worse on a plane too – here's why.
