Many passengers want to sleep as soon as they board the plane. However, flight attendants strongly advise staying awake during takeoff and landing. These are critical phases that require everyone’s attention. Some may also feel discomfort from pressure changes, causing nosebleeds or ear pain. Flight attendants recommend chewing gum or sucking on hard candy before the plane climbs. These actions help balance ear pressure and make the flight more comfortable. Staying alert also lets passengers respond quickly to instructions from the crew, ensuring safety for all.
