Flight attendants have compiled a list of some basic etiquette rules airline passengers should follow. Take a look and let me know if you agree.
Don’t stow your luggage anywhere. Place it close to where you are sitting. Use the space by your feet for your smaller bags.
On long flights remember to get up and move around. However, this doesn’t mean to use the flight attendant’s galley space as your own personal yoga studio.
Use your own space…not your neighbor’s space. That means side, front, and behind you.
Don’t take off your socks. The floor is not that clean. Plus, who wants to smell your feet.
Speaking of clean, it’s not a good idea to eat right off the tray table without wiping it with some disinfectant wipes. Someone may have changed their baby’s diaper on it the flight before yours.
Stay hydrated.
Don’t turn off the air vent. If you’re cold, put on a sweater.
Don’t jump up the minute the plane lands to deplane. If your connecting flight is tight, tell a flight attendant and she or he will get you off quickly. Otherwise, wait your turn. Don’t try to jump in front of the little old lady trying to get her bag down from the overhead bin. It just isn’t polite.
