Holiday season is upon us and soon, millions of lucky jet setters will be flying abroad to soak up some much needed sun.
With their suitcases full of shorts and dresses ready to walk in the heat, many people will be wanting to get out of the jeans they wear back at home as quickly as possible.
But when it comes to shorts, you may want to hold off and wait until you're off the plane, reports the Express.

It comes as a flight attendant shared some useful plane hacks - including the dirtiest areas on the aircraft passengers should avoid at all costs and why travellers should never wear shorts when going on holiday.
On his TikTok, the crew member who's username is tommycimato, shared his advice and recommendations, urging passengers not to rest their head on the plane window.
The flight attendant explained: “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 explaining: “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.”
According to the flight attendant, wearing shorts is one of the most unsanitary things passengers can do on a plane. Instead try and opt for long trousers if you want to avoid direct contact with the seat and prevent germs from spreading.
As well as protecting your legs, he mentions that the bathroom 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."
