Air travel has its own strict and mysterious rules.

Trade tables put away seat in the upright position and don't try to tinkle before takeoff.

Wow, Why can't you use the bathroom before takeoff and what'll happen?

You arrive at the airport way too early and start wandering around, trying to pass the time.

At one point, you end up at an airport coffee shop, sipping on a large cappuccino.

Now you're going to regret that decision later.

Sure enough, About 1/2 hour later, you're standing in line about the board, the plane, and your body insists on getting rid of all of that liquid you've so recklessly gulped down.

Whatever you think, I'll head to the loo as soon as I find my seat.

And so you reach your seat, stuff your carry on in the overhead bin and look back on Lee to notice the signs.

Above all, the onboard toilets are glowing red.

We're still on the ground they probably just forgot to unlock him.

But before you can inform a flight attendant about their mistake, the aisle is already filling with other passengers and you have to sit down.

Why not make yourself comfortable while waiting without thinking twice, you recline your seat back and relax into it.

In no time you see a flight attendant rushing towards you.

Please return your seat to the upright position.

What's wrong with getting that bit of comfort you paid for?

Seat is preventing passengers in the row behind you from getting into their seats.

Plus, if something goes wrong and there's an evacuation, you're tilted seat won't let them get out of their places as fast as possible.

And if you keep your chair back during landing, your neighbor to the rear can hit their head on your seat back.

If you're lounging in a reclined position during a crash landing, your head will travel further since it collides with the seat back in the front of you Along the way, it will generate more force, which can lead to a serious neck or head injury.

And last but not least, the passenger behind you will simply hate your guts for the duration of the trip.

You hear the engine startup, you decide to scroll through your social media feed?

Could you please put your phone in airplane mode or switch it off completely?

To be honest, nothing dramatic will happen if you use your phone while the plane is taking off or landing.

But what if at least 20 other passengers join you?

Pilots say in this situation they can get false readings on their instruments.

For example, inaccurate information that the plane is higher than it is.

You take the thing out of its case, put your earphones in and get ready to watch your show.

Of course, that's when your neighbor starts making some sort of hand signals like you need to take your earphone out.

I wouldn't do that if I were you, you're supposed to keep your laptop in its bag and story in the space in front of you for a reason.

If something goes wrong during or right after takeoff, Ah, laptop can fly out of your hands at race car speeds and getting hit by what's now nothing more than an overpriced boomerang.

Could really do someone in no problem, laptops going away.

The plane finally starts moving and you see that.

But you haven't gone to the bathroom yet.

You stand up and head for the toilet on Lee to be intercepted by Nurse Ratchet.

Could you return to your seat, Sit down and fasten your seat belt, please.

She clearly looks like she's losing her patients with you.

Have something to do with how airplane toilets work.

For those, you can't have a conventional water filled bowl.

Otherwise, any slight turbulence would make the water splash out onboard.

They really suck when you press the flush button off valve opens, and the vacuum sends everything from the bull into a special tank.

That vacuum, in turn, is created thanks to the immense difference in air pressure that's high up in the sky.

The high pressure inside the cabin pushes wets ever in the bull down and out to where the pressure is lower.

There's a generator in there that can create the vacuum itself.

When the plane isn't at a high enough altitude, so do they not want you to flush the toilet before the take off to save energy?

Well, consider this just a taxi and take off.

A jumbo jet uses enough energy to power about four million laptops.

A few passengers flushing the toilet during taxing won't change much.

The whole bathroom ban mostly comes down to safety.

Ah, plane can't taxi if a single person is out of their seat and not wearing a safety belt.

And for obvious reasons, toilets don't have any seat belts.

It's so that a wandering passenger doesn't get knocked down or fall into something in the tiny space of a bathroom.

There are plenty of places to hit your head.

That glass mirror looks especially scary.

That's why if you insist on using the John before takeoff, the plane is likely to stop moving altogether and everyone on board will be waiting for you to finish your business.

And such delays have very costly consequences.

If a plane stops taxing, it'll lose its place in line and have to wait for others that are scheduled before it can take off.

It doesn't matter what airline you fly through.

There have even been cases where passengers were removed from their flights because they insisted on going to the bathroom when the plane was already traveling toward the runway.

The only loophole you can use is a tarmac delay.

If it happens, the cabin crew must let you use the toilet if you need to.

But the moment the plane enters a taxi way, you have to be buckled into your seat.

Finally, the plane takes off, reaches his cruising altitude and the fasten your seat belt signs go off.
