4. Turn The Plane Into A Spa
You don’t need to be an etiquette expert to be aware of how rude it is to use the plane as your own personal spa. The plane is merely a means of transportation, so try to not take over the place with your beauty treatments – do not paint your nails, do not lay back with your shoes off and especially do not use the airplane toilet for time-consuming beauty-related purposes while other people are waiting.
5. Ignore Armrest Protocol
Armrest protocol dictates that the person sitting by the aisle gets the aisle armrest, the one sitting by the window can use the window armrest, and the one sitting in the middle gets to use both chair armrests. When sharing armrests, it’s important to be mindful and try to not take up all the space.
6. Have Zero Regard For Personal Space
You need to share a small space with people when you are on a plane, and that is just how things go. However, how you decide to act regarding the space you have is the real concern here. Airplane tips? Be cautious about sneezing and about coughing, try not to brush your hair and avoid physical contact with other passengers – do not touch them with your feet just because you want to be more comfortable and want to stretch your legs, for example.
7. Be Rude To Flight Attendants
We are saying flight attendants but we could literally mean every person who serves you in any circumstance. Be aware that service people put up with a lot of rude and entitled people who don’t really know how to fit in other people’s shoes. Do not raise your voice at flight attendants, be polite and appreciate their contribution to making your flight safe and comfortable.
8. Glare At Parents Of Crying Babies
Of course, no one enjoys being stuck in a small place for hours and still having to deal with a baby screaming. But still, this is no valid reason to give the stink-eye to the baby’s parents. They are probably embarrassed enough as it is, and having judgment from third parties will only make the situation worse. Keep in mind that parents do their best to make sure their children are silent, and also keep in mind that the baby is not old enough to know right from wrong.
