Meet Barbie Bac: Your In-Flight Insider

Hey there, travel lovers! Buckle up because we’ve got the inside scoop from Barbara Bacilieri, better known as 'Barbie Bac' to her 2.7 million YouTube followers. This 29-year-old Argentine beauty, now based in Spain, is dishing out the real deal about life in the skies as a flight attendant.

Barbie’s not just here to serve snacks and smiles - she’s spilling the tea on the unspoken rules of air travel that most passengers totally miss. In a candid chat with What's The Jam, she laid out the do’s and don’ts that could make your next flight smoother (and cleaner!). So, let’s dive into her high-flying tips and see if you’ve been breaking these rules without even knowing it.

From cringe-worthy jokes to bathroom blunders, Barbie’s got stories that’ll make you rethink your in-flight habits. Ready to board this wild ride? Let’s go!

Etiquette at Altitude: Mind Your Manners

First up, let’s talk etiquette. Barbie’s got a bone to pick with passengers who think they’re stand-up comedians the second they step on board. She’s heard it all - from awkward one-liners before a simple 'hello' to outright rude comments about the pilot’s gender. Yep, some folks have even joked about hopping off if a woman’s in the cockpit. Not cool!

'I just wish passengers would save the jokes and start with a smile instead - it makes everyone’s day brighter up here!'

So, next time you’re tempted to crack a quip, maybe just flash a grin instead. A little kindness goes a long way at 30,000 feet, and Barbie’s all about keeping the vibes friendly in the cabin.

Hygiene Horrors: What’s Really on That Plane?

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty - hygiene. Barbie’s warning us to watch our step, especially in those tiny plane bathrooms. That liquid on the floor? Don’t assume it’s water. Her advice is clear: keep your shoes on and steer clear of anything suspicious.

And don’t even think about going barefoot or cozying up with the plane’s carpets and blankets. According to Barbie, they’re not as clean as you’d hope - even if the blankets get a wash between flights, they’ve seen more passengers than you can count. 'You never know what’s lingering in there,' she hints with a shudder.

So, pack your own cozy throw and slip on some socks. Trust us, after hearing Barbie’s tales, you’ll want to keep every inch of yourself covered on your next flight!

Food and Drink Faux Pas: Think Before You Sip

Moving on to snacks and sips, Barbie’s got some surprising advice about what to avoid. That glass of water from the flight attendant? She’d never ask for one herself. Why? It might come straight from the plane’s tap instead of a sealed bottle - and with tons of bottled water on board, why risk it?

Then there’s the yogurt. Barbie spills that it often sits on ice bags for hours, sometimes from the first flight of the day to the last. 'I’d never touch it,' she admits. So, maybe stick to packaged snacks or bring your own treats to munch on.

Her pro tip? Be mindful of what you consume up there. A little caution can save you from an unpleasant surprise mid-flight. Thanks for the heads-up, Barbie!

Smart Travel Hacks: Bookings and Safety

Barbie’s not done yet - she’s got practical tips for booking and staying safe, too. She swears by buying tickets directly from airlines instead of third-party search engines. If something goes wrong, the airline won’t be on the hook for mishaps through a middleman, so keep it direct and stress-free.

Another gem? Always book hotels with free cancellation policies. Flights get delayed or canceled all the time, and you don’t want to be stuck paying for a room you can’t use. It’s a small step that saves big headaches.

Lastly, on safety, Barbie never wears high heels on the job and advises passengers to opt for practical footwear. In an evacuation, heels have to come off to avoid damaging the slide. Oh, and keep that seat belt on - unexpected turbulence can strike, and she’s not taking any chances!

Final Boarding Call: Fly Like a Pro

So, there you have it, folks - Barbie Bac’s ultimate guide to flying like a pro. From ditching the bad jokes to staying strapped in, her insider tips are all about making your journey safer, cleaner, and just a tad more fabulous. Who knew there was so much to learn about life in the air?

Next time you’re jetting off, channel your inner Barbie and keep these rules in mind. A little courtesy and caution can turn a cramped flight into a breeze. Got any wild plane stories of your own? Drop them below - we’re all ears!
