There’s some things that shouldn’t happen on a plane — and according to thousands of social media users, this act is one of them. Staff writers at The New York Post.
A content creator has divided the internet with a short video of her making fresh pasta while sitting in a plane at 30,000 feet – with the clip being viewed more than 10 million times.
Captioned, “point of view: You hate aeroplane food, so you make it yourself”, the video created by pasta enthusiast Katie Brooks and posted to TikTok account Buona Pasta Club shows her mixing ingredients in a bowl before she starts kneading the dough and forming pieces of gnocchi.
While some on social media said the act was genius, others called the sky-high snack hack “disgusting” and “unhygienic”. And they’re not totally wrong.

Cabin crew members have long warned frequent flyers of the grimy, gunky filth that lurks all throughout the average aeroplane.
From the floating germs that often linger in the recycled air, to the particles of blood, faeces and toe jam that coat the seats, tray tables, window shades and carpets – not to mention the bathrooms – in-flight insiders have strongly encouraged passengers against engaging in any unsanitary behaviours while up in the clouds.
“As someone who cleaned aeroplanes, the street floor in Los Angeles is cleaner than ANYTHING you touch on that PLANE,” warned a concerned commenter on the video.
“I don’t know how people don’t realise the aeroplane is the most unhygienic place,” another agreed.
“I have coeliac (disease), and if the person next to me starts making fresh pasta I’m going to lose it,” wrote an onlooker with gluten intolerance.

“Normalise remembering you’re in public again,” an annoyed viewer added.
Others were a little more concerned about how the passenger would possibly cook the gnocchi on board.
“How are you even able to do this on a flight??! So baffled,” a viewer commented.
“How are you going to cook it? Or you just eat it raw?” Another asked.
“My question is, how did you get a Ziploc bag of flour through security?” someone else added.
“So now you have uncooked pasta,” said a critic, noting Katie’s apparent inability to cook her gnocchi on the plane. “What now??.”
