New information has been added to the post.
Some people aren't easy to travel with. Next to.
We don't have an excuse to throw our manners out the window when we fly on a plane. We decided it was time to put together a guide to air traveliquette.
We don't know why Feet can be pretty gross. We understand why you might want to take your shoes off, especially during a long-haul flight, but please at least keep your socks on. Keep your shoes on if your feet smell bad.
Not only are bare feet off-putting, but think about where your shoes have been and what is on the airplane floor. Have you ever seen liquid on the bathroom floor of a plane? It's probably not water.
There are rules for not wearing shoes on a plane.
It's your right to recline your seat. It wouldn't have that function if you weren't supposed to recline it.
Even if the seat has a deep recline, it's fine to recline when the lights are not on. If the passenger in front of you is having trouble with their laptop at 3 a.m. because their seat is reclined, I would argue that time is better spent sleeping.
You should put your seat up out of respect for the person behind you when the lights are on for dinner. If the person in front reclines, it's hard to eat in economy. If passengers don't raise their seats for meals, you may want to ask the crew to announce this when they hand you your tray.

There is no service at all in the best inflight service for me.
Please refrain from plucking, picking and trimming for the hotel bathroom. You are likely to spend more than a few hours in this metal tube, but this isn't a store. There is a plane in this picture.
The mini toiletries in your kit are good for moisturizing. If you have dry skin in the cabin, you don't have to worry about it. If you're thinking of trimming your nails, think again.
Airplane food isn't known for being gourmet and so many travelers pack their own snacks and meals We encourage you to bring whatever you need, but please remember that recycled air is what we want.
For your own sake and for the sake of your fellow passengers, don't carry seafood or hard-boiled eggs on the plane.
Passengers can't bring durian fruit on flights because of its smell.
The foods you can and cannot bring with you on an airplane are listed here.
You definitely don't want your seat mate to be on your bad side, so it's more than fine to be nice and friendly. You might need to ask them for a small favor, such as borrowing their pen to fill in a landing card, or discussing window shade preferences.
If they show you that they are more interested in watching a movie than learning your life story, don't let them talk their ear off. It is a delicate line, but if you are unsure, zip it.
It is likely that they don't want to keep the conversation going.

When you reach your final destination, please keep the PDA. Keeping hands at that is fine. Even if it is your honeymoon, the complete strangers sitting around you will not want to see you getting married.
Is it worth it to join the Mile High Club in the bathroom of the plane?
There's a question about how much PDA is too much for the plane.
Don't be mean to the gate agents. They are trying to get you on the plane as soon as possible. Taking your anger out on them won't get you to your destination quicker if your flight is delayed. Gate agents don't have much power to upgrade people unless you have money or miles. It's very unlikely that the gate agent will upgrade you after you mention your birthday or honeymoon.
There are programs for booking the awards.
Flight attendants are the same. They are there for you to be safe and comfortable, but not to wait on you hand and foot. If you want a second glass of water, you can use the call bell, but if you want a second glass yourself, you should stretch your legs. A snack basket will make the walk worth it.
There is a question of how much is too much to drink on a plane.
The final frontier of aviation is who owns the right to the armrest. Travelers have experienced it since the dawn of modern-day commercial aviation. Always be courteous no matter what side of the issue you are on.
The experts agree that the poor soul in the middle seat should have both of the armrests.
There are rules for flying in the middle seat.
There are headphones for a reason. Don't use them alone. Bring your own so you know they will have a good sound. Ask the crew for a pair if you forget them.
Don't video chat with a relative while you wait at the gate and don't watch a show without headphones. Your fellow passengers don't want you to use your phone or laptop to listen to your favorite movie.
If your child is playing a game on a device that makes noise, give them headphones or turn the sound off completely. Your fellow passengers will be annoyed by the repetitive noises you make.
Apple's latest AirPods Pro are my go-to travel accessory.
It's not pleasant to be stuck in a metal tube with 400 strangers for more than 12 hours. It's not possible to know who you'll end up next to when you choose seats in advance. The Pandemic seemed to bring out the worst in some travelers, but some common courtesy and consideration can ensure that you enjoy the flight.
