Since summer is high time to traverl for vacation, make sure you use these tips when traveling by air:
- When they SAY only one carry-on and one smaller PERSONAL item, that applies to everyone. Why some people BELIEVE that they are more special than others and can bring that piano-sized duffle aboard is beyond me.
- Grabbing the back of the seat in front of you as you try to get up is just rude. Consider the effect that has on the other person -- it yanks their seat back, bumps them all around, and generally disturbs their peace. Likewise kicking the seat (unless accidental - once, leave it alone, two or more times be sensitive and apologize!), or dropping/pushing the tray out of/back into its holder.
- Be mindful of "seat sprawl." You were sold ONE seat of a specific dimension. SHARE the armrest and keep to your personal space. This is a general rule, but is not intended to be derogatory to those people who are larger-than-average.
- Also, people who push/shove, try to "cheat" the seating process in order to get on the plane quicker. Folks, we're all leaving at the same time -- no need to push and shove. Queue up and be patient.
- Finally, be mindful of the volume of your conversations. The people in the seats in front of, next to, and behind you are literally 5 feet away. No need for them to hear about your neighbor's latest liposuction disaster...keep your volume down, please.
