The mandatory 5 seconds before the takeoff: Why no flight starts without the pilot's instructions

Safety while travelling is a key aspect that everyone, from airline employees to ordinary passengers, should observe. That's why, before each flight, flight attendants take some time to brief passengers to provide them with the most important information that can help save their lives during the flight.

What are the things you should pay attention to in case of an emergency on an airplane? Travel + Leisure has shared some rules and recommendations for passengers.

It is noted that the location of the nearest emergency exits is the first thing passengers should pay attention to as soon as they get on the plane. This step can help in case there is smoke in the cabin and you need to quickly find your way around. This can happen even before the pilot starts the engine, so you will need to react quickly to evacuate the aircraft.

In addition, given such risks, it is recommended to choose seats near emergency exits and not to take heavy hand luggage with you so as not to delay other passengers.

You should also pay attention to your shoes. They should be comfortable and closed to minimize the risk of injury.

At the same time, additional study of the safety card will also not be superfluous during the flight. You can find an individual evacuation plan designed specifically for your aircraft in the leaflets placed in the seat pockets.
