Airplane Etiquette: The Do's and Don'ts of Air Travel

While some people mind their manners mid-air, others leave their airplane etiquette on the ground. While you can’t change the person sitting next to you on your flight, you can lead by example.

We’ve compiled a list of common air flight complaints and airplane etiquette faux-paus that if avoided, could help make your next trip more enjoyable.

Victim of poor airplane etiquette? Share your horror stories here

Is the person sitting in the middle seat taking up both armrests? Is Seat 34C in the aisle with bags in hand before the plane connects to the jetway? Is the redeye talker giving you his life story while you try to sleep? We feel your pain and have found that ranting about it helps ease the tension. Don’t let it eat you alive, share your horror stories and pet peeves here.

If nothing else, you can help educate the “window-seat sitter” that she really should have an aisle seat if she is going to drink five cups of coffee on a three-hour flight.

In conjunction with the Institute for Aeronautic Wellness, we will create a new video periodically. If your rant resonates; we may ask to use it (giving you credit) and send you some cool swag.
