Be a Thoughtful Passenger

Cheap airplane tickets and discount hotel rooms or discount travel packages can be a great beginning to a very satisfying trip. Unfortunately annoying passengers can make any flight almost unbearable.

Passengers should keep the following in mind when flying:

When going through security make certain that all metal objects have been taken off of your person before going through security. By being proactive and thoughtful, you can help make the process quicker for everyone.

When riding a moving escalator (particularly those flat ones) move to the right if you want to stand still and make certain your bags are not blocking others who may want to pass.

Do not get upset if there is not space in the overhead bin on the plane above your seat. Hopefully you can place your bag in another bin, but it is not the end of the world if because of space constraints you have to check your carry-on, which most airlines charge no fee for.

Be thoughtful of your fellow passengers. Consider volunteering to move if by doing so you can help a family fly together. If people are trying to sleep, keep talking to a minimum and pull the shade down if the sun is glaring.

Be aware that by eating greasy foods prior to a flight that you may have a gas problem on the plane.

If you want to make yourself up prior to landing, do your spritzing and fixing in the bathroom.

Dont try to make a last minute cell phone call after the pilot has asked that all cell phones and other electronic equipment be put away for takeoff or landing.

If you are traveling with children, keep them from kicking backs of seats, slipping arms over seats, yelling, or otherwise being a nuisance to other passengers.

Remain in your seat until the plane reaches the gate.

At baggage claim do not cut in front of people waiting to pick up their luggage. There is plenty of room along the conveyor belt.

Remember, considerate passengers make everyones flight more enjoyable.
