‘Too risky’: Flight attendant on the flights you should never book – ‘could get cancelled’

Flight attendant Cici posts her travel advice to her TikTok account @cici_inthesky, where she boasts over 41k followers. She dispensed more of her expert knowledge, listing the things she will never do while flying.

Her next recommendation relates to booking flights.

Cici said she will never “not give myself at least three, preferably four hours for a layover if I have an international flight.

“With the weather, crew delays, whatever could go wrong, you need that extra buffer to be on time.”

She went on: “I will never book on the last flight of the day because it’s just too risky that the flight could get cancelled because of rolling delays.”

Her last piece of advice was about keeping items, and yourself, safe.

She said: “I will never not wear a fanny pack on the plane and I will never not wear my seatbelt when the seatbelt sign is on and even when it’s off.”

Another flight attendant divulged the best time of the day to fly in her indispensable summer travel tips. 

The flight attendant, Caroline, 28, from Florida, shares her travels and insight.

“The earlier the better,” she said. “I know you don’t want to wake up at 3am to catch a 5am flight but I promise you the earlier you book a flight, the earlier your flight, is the smoother everything is going to go.

“The more time that will leave for you to be rebooked on another flight if something does happen.”
