5 things about passenger airplanes to that you probably didn’t know

Whether you’re a frequent flier or have only flown on a passenger aircraft once in your life, here are five things to know about passenger planes.

Four passengers on a recent Ryanair flight reportedly fainted aboard the aircraft during the trip, prompting one of the travelers to describe the experience as a “flight from hell.”

The aircraft, which was traveling to Edinburgh, Scotland, took off from Budapest, Hungary, on Jan. 31, according to reports. About an hour into the flight, however, the first of the four passengers — a 17-year-old — allegedly fainted, passengers say.

“The crew of this flight from Budapest to Edinburgh (31 Jan) called ahead to request medical assistance on landing after two customers became ill onboard,” a Ryanair spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. “The aircraft landed normally and these customers were met by medics for further treatment.”

A spokesperson for Ryanair was not immediately available to comment on the cause of the alleged incident.

Pinkerton, however, claims he has lodged a complaint, adding that he’s apprehensive about taking future flights.

“There was something seriously wrong with that flight, folk were worrying there wasn’t enough oxygen,” he said. ”I don’t know why they didn’t divert the plane to land sooner.”
