If an airplane trip is in your travel future, there are a few etiquette tips that will make your travels, and your fellow travelers, much more comfortable.
- Arrive early and plan to wait
- Turn your cell phone off (starting in the line at the ticket counter)
- Stay in your own seat and when you get up, don’t hoist yourself up with the seat in front of you
- Be careful not to kick the back of the seat in front of you or lean your chair back into your neighbor’s lap
- Don’t assume your neighbor wants to talk
- Respect parents with babies and small children
- Don’t sing along or hum to your iPod
- If you are frequent bathroom flyer – choose an aisle seat
- Go light on the cologne, avoid tuna and strong smelling carry on foods, and keep your shoes on!
- Read your own magazine
- Don’t monopolize the flight attendant’s time
- Use your own luggage bin and don’t move someone else’s luggage to another bin
- Wait your turn to depart the plane – don’t forge in front of everyone because you are “late”
- Check the name on your luggage tag before leaving the airport terminal
