Don’t Sneak A Deceased Person On The Flight
You’d think that this is a rule that most people would figure out, but that’s not the case. Some years ago, a few individuals experimented with the classic film Weekend at Bernie’s and tried to pretend someone deceased was still alive. In fact, this has happened in multiple flights. While some reasons remain unknown, transporting a dead body on a flight can cost around $5,000. If you’re short on cash, sneaking on a family member may be the best option for a family planning a funeral. One Miami passenger once tried to board with his deceased mother in his garment bag. Because of these slew of past instances of dead-serious behavior, flight attendants must always be aware of any deceased members of passengers, whether before the flight or during. In fact, Singapore Airlines has a storage space specially dedicated to anyone who passes on during the flight.

Fighting Human Trafficking
Flight crews are among the first line of defense against human trafficking! This started with Sandra Fiorini, an American Airlines flight attendant who testified seeing an 18 year-old man with a newborn who still had its umbilical cord attached. The mother of the child was not present near the baby. Ever since that Congressional testimony, Sandra Fiorini was moved in 2007 to start working with Deborah Sigmund at a nonprofit called Innocents at Risk. Their goal is to train airline crews on the signs of human trafficking and how to handle the situation while preserving the safety of the child or teen at risk. In 2011, some crew members from an airline aided police at the Super Bowl shut down prostitution trafficking groups.
