Sorry, fly girls. If you’re thinking about wearing this one-piece masterpiece on a flight, urine trouble.
Peeing at 30,000 feet can be a challenge — especially in those cramped, rarely cleaned airplane lavatories.
But a veteran flight attendant warns that rocking a romper, a singular shirt-and-shorts ensemble, could land fashionable frequent flyers in a puddle of yuck.
“This is a double No-No,” said Cher, a six-year flight attendant from Dallas, referring to the all-in-one number in a viral vid. “I would never, never, never wear a romper.”
“Going to the bathroom, that thing is gonna end up on the floor, which is soaked with pee and doesn’t get mopped often,” she continued, adding that the amount of urine on those in-flight toilet floors is “a lot more” than most folks think.
It’s an icky word-to-the-wise that doesn’t come as a huge surprise.
Cabin crew members, including Cher, have long deemed skyway restrooms as one of the “filthiest” areas in an Airbus, noting the excrement, blood and vomit splattered around the tight spaces.
Not to be outdone in dirtiness, however, are airplane carpets.
“Passengers these days can be quite messy,” another seasoned stewardess recently revealed, urging trippers not to go barefoot on flights. “We see everything from spills to dirty diapers thrown on the floor.”
Cher echoed similar sentiments in her virtual advisory.
After doubling down on the dangers of wearing romper-shorts on a plane — warning vacationers that going bare-legged increases their chances of contracting “ringworm” or a “staph infection” due to the germ-covered aircraft seats — she also vetoed open-toe shoes.
“I would never travel in sandals, ever,” Cher declared. “The carpet on the plane is filthy dirty — people vomit on it, people have pets on it, people rub their bare feet on it.”
“I would not want my toes anywhere near an open exposure to that.”
The know-it-all went on to thumbs-down tank tops and tube tops, claiming the cutesy crops are no match for the oft-frigid temperatures on an aircraft.
“Lastly,” she said, “I would never wear a sweater by itself without something under it.”
“I have had actual medical emergencies because somebody has overheated, and we had to take her [sweater] off,” the pro recalled. “She just had to sit in her bra in the cabin.”
“Layers are so important when flying,” Cher said in conclusion. “It can either be so freezing or burning hot.”
“And hot, on a plane, is a differ kind of heat.”
