The toilet is not considered the dirtiest place on the plane.
This opinion was expressed by a flight attendant, whose comment was cited by American media.
Thus, the New York Post writes that the dirtiest place on the plane is the luggage racks.
The flight attendant explained this by saying that the bags, together with their owners, pass through many places before boarding.
People "drag them through airport bathrooms" and then throw them on these shelves, she said.
The woman also noted that the homes of some passengers were probably far from being in the most exemplary order.
That is why the overhead luggage racks in the airplane cabin can be called the dirtiest place.
Some flight attendants also say that tray tables are not the cleanest places on the plane.
If the crew has a short period of time between flights, then cleaning is carried out only in the most important places. Tables in such cases may not be included in this list.
