The habit gets a new name.
Stepping onto a plane with your left foot is the new “good luck” ritual. Because, why not? It’s not like the pilots’ years of experience and training are enough to ensure a safe flight. The left foot superstition is just one of many, including touching the side of the plane, bringing a good luck charm, and reciting prayers or mantras. And, of course, there are those who believe that throwing coins at an airplane is a good idea (it’s not). The right foot, left foot debate is on.
Apparently, stepping onto a plane with your left foot is a thing now.
