Most airports don't have a gate 13


Lots of planes don't have a row 13


American and Delta no longer have a flight 191 due to numerous past incidents.

Some pilots must always step onto a plane the a certain foot (right or left)


Areophobia - it is estimated that around 80% of people have some fear of flying

A Boeing 747 has more than 6,000,000 parts - that is a lot to go wrong


The A380 wingspan (80m) is longer than its lenth (72.7m)


Before COVID there was 61,000 people airborne in the US at any given hour


Oxygen masks will only provide around 12 minutes of oxygen
