I just got back from another trip. It always amazes me how fellow travelers appear to leave their etiquette
\nat home and take their selfish me when leaving their house. After a long journey to the airport, we check
\nin, begin to experience the security woes, que for a coffee, the bathroom and finally make it to the
\nboarding gate. Most of us are already exhausted and the thrill of going away has diminished somewhat.
\nHere we are onboard for the next 8 hours, like chickens in a cage. Shuffling to our seats and the annoyance
\nstarts. Let\u2019s have look.<\/p>\n
Do check that your seat number is correct. If you are not happy with your seat, now is not the
\ntime to complain. Take your seat and wait until the stewardess is able to address your problem
\nafter take-off. Also, empty seats that are available should only be taken after takeoff with the
\npermission of a stewardess.<\/p>\n
Your luggage should be stowed away in the overhead locker. Be considerate and leave enough
\nspace for others. If you have two carry-on bags, place the smallest bag under your seat in front
\nof you for the flight.<\/p>\n
When seated be mindful when using the armrest. Do not sit as a king on his throne as others
\nneed space as well. Do not recline your seat until airborne. Be careful and look behind you
\nwhen reclining your seat as the other passenger can hold his drink or move his laptop. When
\nmeals are served your seat should be in the upright position so the person behind you also has
\nenough space to enjoy their meal.<\/p>\n
Taking off your shoes might be comfortable if it is bearable for the other passengers. A strong
\nfoot odor is not funny for 8 hours or longer. I would strongly recommend putting them back on
\nwhen going to the galley or the toilet. Also keep your feet in your own space and not in the
\nvicinity of your fellow passengers.<\/p>\n
Some would like to take the opportunity to make some new friends. This is not really done as
\nothers cannot escape from your idle chit chat. You can gauge if they want to chat, otherwise
\njust leave others alone.<\/p>\n
After a meal or night flight the cabin crew will dim the lights, to allow passengers to relax and
\nsleep. Be considerate to keep your conversation and volume to a minimum. If you are using a
\nphone or I pad, put your screen brightness on night shift.<\/p>\n
Keep your children in check. Try to occupy them with games and the inflight film entertainment
\nalso correct bad behaviour. You are the parent 24 hours a day and a flight does not give a free
\npass for your children to run wild.<\/p>\n
Then there is the time to use the toilet. Try to use the bathroom for a minimum in order not to
\ndisturb others. When going to the toilet go quickly and do not make a mess. Remember the
\ntoilet is dirty, clean and wipe areas down after use. Try to plan your toilet breaks so they don\u2019t
\nclash with meals being served. Be respectful to others and especially the cabin crew.<\/p>\n
