1. AIRPLANE TRAVEL
ETIQUETTE
Gregory Gopman

2. • I travel a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot
• I travel by plane, train, and automobile to get
from one destination to another quickly and with
the most savings
• I have witnessed and experienced many things in
my time traveling but one thing I make an
important point to address is travel etiquette
• Whenever you are in a public setting such as an
airplane, it is vital to travel with respect towards
other passengers because you are a sensible
human and you're also locked in a metal tube
35,000 feet above the ground
• It’s probably best to get along with everyone and
enjoy the flight
• Below you will find some of the most important
rules of etiquette while flying
• Enjoy!

3. RESPECT THE SECURITY
I know there are a lot of steps when it comes
to air travel security but the fine men and
women of this country’s TSA are there to
protect and defend our airports, airplanes,
and the people using them
Try and make the process a little easier by
preparing to go through security beforehand
Make sure your belt is off (if you decided to
wear one), empty your pockets, your shoes
are off, and you don’t have any big liquids in
your bag
The faster you get through security the
quicker you can get to the airport lounge and
wait for your flight in a more luxurious
setting

4. DO NOT TAKE UP THE
WHOLE OVERHEAD BIN
No one wants to pay the extra baggage
fees that airlines charge passengers,
so sometimes people take it upon
themselves to get the biggest carryon
bags allowable
This “technique” can cause a few
problems for other passengers
Everyone needs room to properly
store their belongings and there is a
limited space available
Be courteous and share the communal
space and don’t hog the overhead bin

5. DON’T FIGHT WITH
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
Do yourself a huge favor and listen
to the flight attendants
There is no use fighting with the
attendants so you can finish
texting your best friends or
posting another Instagram photo
from the window
The more you listen to the
attendants the quicker you’ll be up
in the air and maybe enjoying a
free cocktail if you play your cards
right

6. RECLINE WITH CARE
When it comes to sudden pain and
irritation there are few things that
trump a chair reclining into your
knees with lighting speed and the
power of Arnold Schwarzenegger
Personally I take a casual look behind
me to see if there is anyone there, and
if not I can recline to my heart’s desire
The absolute last thing you want to do
is jolt backwards, spilling some poor
travelers Fresca all over their lap
Always recline gently and don’t be
THAT guy

7. “CHECK” YOUR
CHILDREN
If you are a traveler or family with children,
please please please keep them in control to
the best of your ability
I understand a baby may be hard to keep
quiet as it cries, but when it comes to
children crawling under seats and playing
knights and cowboys in the aisle, there
needs to be order
Other passengers most likely want to relax
or sleep but with the constant fake laser
sounds and giggling it is most likely
impossible
On the other hand, a message to all
passengers, a wise man once said “patience
is a virtue,” so do your best to exercise it
