I am a flight attendant – passengers should NEVER bring these items on an airplane, including one that will earn you an expensive fine
A flight attendant revealed the items passengers should never bring on a plane, including one that could land them a costly fine.
Lisa Kulpa, who is a crew member at JetBlue, of Buffalo, New York, warned against bringing certain items on board a flight.
She reminded passengers not to bring anything with a strong scent on their flight, including nail polish or nail polish remover.
Speak against The points manshe explained, “Nail polish, nail polish remover—these products will stink up the whole plane and make some people sick.”
“Other smelly things that aren’t really wanted are extremely odorous foods. Even fast food sometimes stinks on an airplane.’

She also warned against carrying nail clippers, as many airlines don’t allow them because of the sharp nail file.
Lisa, who is a co-founder of the Basic Travel Couple blog, revealed that the biggest concern is people bringing their own alcohol on board.
She revealed it’s a safety issue because alcohol affects people differently at higher altitudes.
She said, “By serving alcohol to you during the flight, we can monitor how much you drink.”
Not only that, but public intoxication is a crime in many countries and being drunk on a flight could result in fines of over £1,000.
However, the flight attendant also gave advice on important items to bring on board.
She admitted that she always carried essential items such as car keys, medicines and electronics with her because you risk losing them if you put them in a carry-on bag.
She also advised putting on a sweater, as flights often get cold and the temperature can’t be controlled.

It comes after a flight attendant revealed their surprising best tips for surviving a long-haul flight — including not eating meals during the flight and bringing a travel pillow.
For many, the prospect of a long-haul flight is exciting – the start of a journey to a long-awaited vacation somewhere warm and sunny.
But for others, the idea of being cooped up with strangers for several hours, kids screaming, and getting disrupted sleep can be daunting.
Kris Major has been a flight attendant for 24 years. After spending many hours in the air, he shared his best advice for a peaceful flight with CNN.
The first helpful piece of advice from Kris is not to eat meals on board.
Instead, he recommends using the time you normally spend eating to get some rest so you’re as energized as possible when you reach your destination.
Brushing your teeth after you get off the plane can also help you feel refreshed after a long and sleepy flight.
Kris recommends eating before boarding, but packing snacks in case you get hungry.
Kris says it’s a good idea to bring an eye mask, travel pillow, and blanket to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible on your trip.
He told CNN, “I would say take care of your own comfort and your own needs as much as possible.”
