In airplane cabins, you can occasionally see a small, black triangle on the walls. These markings are not arbitrary; they serve a specific purpose that is important to both the flight crew and interested passengers.

Henny Joyce Lim, A flight attendant from Philippine airline Cebu Pacific, shared the “secret” meaning behind the black triangle stickers in airplane cabins on Tiktok and went viral.

The black triangle, often placed next to or above a window, marks the point in the cabin that has the best view Airplane wings offer. This visual access is essential for inspecting the wings for ice build-up or other structural problems during flight.

The location of the triangle is strategically important. In certain weather conditions or in situations where the condition of the wings needs to be checked, it allows the crew to quickly assess the situation without having to navigate the cabin first.

For aviation enthusiasts and regular travelers alike, the search for the black triangle can be a fascinating addition to the flying experience.
