I was a flight attendant so know all the plane’s hidden parts – what’s behind the toilet mirror always surprises people
A FORMER flight attendant has revealed some of the hidden areas on a plane that passengers don’t know about.
Veronica worked for Emirates for 10 years before she was let go by the airline in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
But her former job means she can step in to lend a hand when she flies these days.
She took to TikTok to share a video of herself on a plane, as she revealed she’d change the toilet roll as the one in the loo had run out.
She then reached under the mirror, where there was a catch, before pushing that to open the mirror.
Behind the mirror was a load of toilet rolls, as well as everything else that’s needed to keep the bathroom fully stocked.
“Me changing the roll on the plane toilet because I used to be a flight attendant and know where to find them,” she wrote over the video.
Before adding in the caption: “Help your cabin crew, now you know”.
While Veronica turned the comments off on her TikTok, she opened up further about being a flight attendant in a video on her Digital Nomad YouTube page.
Speaking about the physically demanding nature of the job, Veronica said: “I think that comes with the territory.
“If you’re going to be cabin crew, you’ve got to know that you’re going to be tired all the time.
“Jet lag is a thing that will actually happen to you, and you’re going to be picking up a bunch of vomit bags – people are just going to hand them to you, nothing you can do about it.”
She also said it’s more a job suited for a young person, adding: “When I was 22 and had just joined, I remember partying until three in the morning, not drinking of course, and then going home, changing, and going to a 12-hour Sydney flight on no sleep.
“How did I put my body through that?
“So yes, it is good when you’re young because you don’t get tired as much.”
