On his TikTok channel @tommycimato he said: "Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window. You are not the only one that has done that and you don't know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window.”

He also advised passengers to try to avoid wearing shorts when flying, he said: “It's the same thing as the window, you never know how clean it's going to be, so if you have pants, you're going to have less germs.”

By wearing long trousers, passengers will avoid direct contact with the seat and will be more protected against germs on the plane.

The toilet is considered one of the dirtiest spots on the aircraft, and the crew member urged holidaymakers to avoid touching the flush button.

He said: “Do not ever touch the flush button with your bare hands. It's honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross, so when you flush, use a napkin or tissue that's in the lavatory."

The flight attendant also advised travellers to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated the next time they catch a flight.

If passengers feel unwell during the flight, he encouraged them to speak to the crew , he said: "Don't feel afraid if you need food, water or an air sickness bag, please feel free to let us know."
