Soaking mid-flight may not be a good experience for many but it poses no threat for plane passengers.

The recent incident of plane passengers getting soaked mid-flight has left many puzzled, while the pilot's relaxed response declaring it as rain inside the cabin has raised eyebrows. 

Contrary to popular belief, such a situation doesn't always indicate a problem or danger onboard.

A TikToker shared her weird experience after being soaked during a flight.

TikToker Savannah Gowarty shared her firsthand experience with her followers, capturing the mist coming out of the airplane vents, creating a foggy atmosphere and drenching passengers and their clothes. 

Amidst her slight alarm, the pilot's lighthearted remark, "It appears to be raining in cabin." 

Interestingly, this is not the first time such a scenario has gone viral on TikTok.

The airline revealed the reason why there was a 'rain' on their flight.

Although the specific airline Savannah was flying with remains unknown, an easyJet spokesperson shed light on the situation. 

They explained that the mist results from the air conditioning system cooling and condensing warm external air.

However, they emphasized that this phenomenon poses no threat to passengers or crew, with safety being the airline's utmost priority. 

In reality, the mist helps people comfortable during hot and humid conditions.

While the misty fog occurrence may not be as rare as one might think, it doesn't mean everyone appreciates it.

Savannah expressed her frustration in the caption of her TikTok video, highlighting the discomfort of being wet and cold on a four-hour flight back to New York. 

Online users flooded the comment section to express their opinions on the incident.

However, some commenters found humor in the situation, comparing it to the Rainforest Cafe experience or referring to it as a "spa plane." 

Others empathized with Savannah's annoyance, suggesting they would request compensation.

Back in the 70's on a return flight from England, something was dripping from the ceiling of the plane onto my husband's lap. I told the stewardess in case there was a problem with the plane. She handed my husband a pillow to put on his lap & said whatever it is, it will freeze & stop once we get into the air! One user shared the same case.

Experiencing the rain forest before getting there in South America, the second user said.

Raining inside cabin..!? That's a new experience for every passengers, the third user commented.

This is quite common I have seen this a few times, though never midflight. This must have been before takeoff, another wrote.

I would be terrified in a plane if thay happened, someone said.
