Former flight attendant Kayla shared insights about one of the hidden dangers on airplanes that not every passenger is aware of. According to her, one of the things that travelers often overlook, especially during long-haul flights, is sun protection.

She warned that flying on an airplane can expose both crew members and passengers to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which is a primary cause of skin cancer. "Ultraviolet radiation is incredibly high up there. That's why I apply sunscreen before and during the flight," as quoted by 7Life.

It's worth noting that, according to a study, pilots and crew members are twice as likely to have melanoma compared to the general population. The study specifies that UV radiation increases with altitude, and although the windshields of some commercial aircraft transmit a small amount of UV radiation, the windows in the passenger cabin usually consist of three layers of plastic.

Because of this, the flight attendant recommends wearing sunscreen. When she travels with a carry-on bag, she puts her sunscreen into a 100 ml container for use on board.

Kayla mentioned that she also carries a face spray in her bag to keep her face moisturized during long-haul flights. Her video has been viewed more than 40,000 times, and many viewers thanked her for the reminder.

"Thank you for letting us know; I will be using sunscreen on my flight to Japan," wrote one subscriber.

"My husband is a pilot, and I finally convinced him to start wearing sunscreen," a woman wrote.

"My partner is a pilot, but he won't listen to me about it! Drives me crazy, and then complains that he's starting to get wrinkles," added another user.
