Traveling abroad by plane is so exciting—once you’re on board, everything feels new and fascinating. You might think that since you bought a ticket, you can just pack everything and take it home. But that’s not necessarily the case. A flight attendant has listed the five most commonly taken items by passengers, which not only cannot be taken but may even leave you regretting it afterward.
 
1. Headphones: Toward the end of the flight, flight attendants usually collect the headphones one by one, but some passengers still sneak them away. It’s only when they get home that they realize the headphone plugs are completely different from the ones they use at home.

2. Cups, plates, and cutlery: Some passengers assume that the cups and utensils used for in-flight meals are disposable and take them with them. When flight attendants notice, they usually politely explain to the passengers that these items need to be recycled and reused by the airline, so they cannot be taken.
 
3. Disinfectant hand sanitizer: Disinfectant hand sanitizer is often placed in airplane bathrooms, but it frequently goes missing not long after, affecting the next user’s access.
 
4. Blankets: It feels so cozy to sleep under a blanket on the plane, and you might want to take it home with you after landing. But blankets are also items airlines must collect, and what you might not know is that those in-flight blankets can actually be quite dirty, harboring plenty of bacteria.

5. Life vests: Many passengers may not even know where the life vests are hidden, but there are indeed those who try to take them off the plane. Taking a life vest can seriously impact aviation safety, and if caught, you could even be fined or detained by aviation police.
