CABIN crew and pilots have revealed their weirdest in-flight experiences – including randy couples and a man using a sanitary towel as a sleep mask.
The bizarre tales from airline staff across the globe revealed some outrageous goings on and down-right strange behaviour from passengers.

Flight attendants told tales of one man donning a sanitary towel over his eyes as a sleeping aid; a woman trying out some yoga in the aisle and another lady boarding a flight with curlers in her hair.
One stewardess revealed how she stopped an over-excited couple trying to join the mile-high club.
She said: “During this one flight, I was standing in the aft gallery getting supplies for the forward gallery when I noticed a male enter a lavatory and not lock it.
“Not thinking much about it, I go about my business and then I noticed a younger female walk toward the back and try to enter the same lavatory.
“So, I said to her, ‘Sorry, that one’s occupied’. She didn’t attempt to go to the other across but once I turned my back she tried to go into the same lavatory again.
“What she didn’t realise is that at the back of our B737 there’s a small mirror that allows the flight attendants to somewhat see and monitor the cabin.
As I am putting my supplies away this dude comes up and goes to enter the forward lavatory, which was also occupied! Oh boy, here we go!
Anonymous air hostess
“As I saw her hand reach for the handle, I spun around and repeated: ‘Again, sorry miss, but that lavatory is occupied’. So she sighed, and went back to her seat.
“Moments later, the guy comes out of the lavatory without a flush, and heads back to his seat.
“So, I finish up grabbing supplies and walk forward to the front, and noticed the female was gone and the male was sitting alone in the row.
“As I am putting my supplies away this dude comes up and goes to enter the forward lavatory, which was also occupied! Oh boy, here we go!”
Another flight attendant revealed how on a plane from San Francisco to London Heathrow a woman boarded looking as though she was ready for bed.
Kevin Barrett, who worked on airlines between 1987 and 2007, told: “During boarding a woman came on with curlers in her hair, no make-up wearing sweats.
“A real slob. We took off and she fell right asleep taking no food. She drank lots of water. About an hour before landing she locked herself in one of the lavatories.
“She came out as we were getting ready to prep for landing. She was fresh faced, make up, hair perfect, heels and hose, beautiful dress and all.
“She boarded the ugliest and walked off the prettiest.”
She was using the seats for stretches I guess. Her husband didn’t bat an eye, and her kids were running all over the cabin. She’d just change poses to get out of their way.
Short-haul pilot
A short-haul pilot told the tale of the yoga fanatic he came across.
He said: “Probably the weirdest was a passenger starting to do some odd ‘plane’ yoga.
“She was using the seats for stretches I guess. Her husband didn’t bat an eye, and her kids were running all over the cabin. She’d just change poses to get out of their way.
“I flew that family several times and it was always like that. The flights weren’t particularly long, and the seats were plenty big.”
Another stewardess of 15 years told how a couple downed a whole bottle of duty free Cognac while taking an international long-haul flight.
“Once a couple bought a bottle of duty free XO Cognac on board that’s over a hundred dollars.
“After landing and passengers had left the plane, I saw they had forgotten their duty free liquor,” she said:
She went on: “I shouted very loudly to tell someone at the door that ‘seat XX forget their duty free brandy’. As I ran to get the bottle and bag out, I found the bottle was empty.
“We didn’t know the couples were drinking that duty free liquor. None of us had noticed.”
