Eagle-eyed flyers may have spotted a rogue black triangle on the interior wall of the cabin, with no explanation as to what it means. But a TikTok video has revealed what the black triangle signals, and it’s merely an indicator.
They are not just a design, and do have a purpose. A flight attendant took to TikTok to share the meaning of the subtle airport feature. The black triangles are useful for both flight crew and for passengers.
For passengers, if you are sitting in a row with these black triangles above the window, it means you have the best view of the wings.
If you’re given a choice of where to sit on the plane, say for example if the plane is mostly empty, choosing this spot will allow you to have a great view for your journey.
It is a popular choice for photographers, social media users or influencers who are keen to get that perfect airplane shot.
Another use of the black triangle is for crew members. This seat is the best place for flight crew to check the wings of the plane if they need to during the journey.
Some other plane hacks for travellers looking to learn more tips and tricks to make the most of their flight include taking two neck pillows for comfort and always taking the window seat where possible.
Others recommend taking an empty water bottle which you can fill up with water at a water fountain when you get through security.
For long haul flights, top tips include bringing lots of entertainment such as books, music or even card games if you are flying with company. Being comfortable will make or break your flight experience so make sure to wear comfy clothes and bring warm jumpers or hoodies for the flight even if where you are going is warm.
If you are choosing a seat before your flight, passengers have mixed feelings about being seated near to the toilet.
Some would rather not have to squeeze through other passengers and wait in an aisle to queue for the bathroom – if you’re seated near the toilet you can quickly go when there is no queue and won’t have to wiggle your way around other passengers.
