Aircraft, Airplanes and Flying

Before flying:

• Touching wood is good luck as long as you touch a living tree and not something made from “dead” wood such as a chair, table or desk.
• It’s unlucky to use the words “crash” or “prank”.

During flight:

• It’s unlucky to carry real flowers on board.
• Keep mean spirits calm by neatly crossing the seatbelts in vacant seats.

On landing:

• Keep your good luck going by offering a personal sacrifice – empty your pockets on the ground after you’ve landed.
