" windowpane seat get the window . The aisle ass gets the aisle . The middle stern gets BOTH armrest . "
I don’t know about you guys, but as a seasoned flyer, the airport plus plane travel is like the Wild West: chaotic, unpredictable, and full of people who suddenly can’t read the room. So, when Redditoru/completedonutasked people from the Reddit community to share theairplane etiquette rulesall passengers should know, I knew I had to share with the masses. Here are some airport and airplane rules that all travelers should be aware of next time they take to the skies:
1.“It’s not okay to fill public spaces with the noise pollution from scrolling through TikTok or whatever video content you seemingly can’t live without.”
2.“Don’t put your feet up on the armrests of the person in front of you. I really don’t want to move my arm and touch the bottom of a foot.”

3.“Don’t drape your long hair over the back of your seat and block my screen.”
4.“Please wear a mask if you’re sick or coughing a lot. And wash or sanitize your hands. I don’t want to get your sickness when I’m on vacation.”

5.“Standing an inch from the baggage conveyer isn’t going to make your bag come faster. Leave room for people to get their stuff.”
6.“I’d be happy if people could just pretend like they’ve been in public before.”

" Some weird material find to people at the airdrome . Maybe it ’s the stress of travel , but my mother is a normal , functioning appendage of companionship . However , once it ’s time to take flight , she change . She does n’t become an arsehole or anything , but all concept of prison term and spatial / social awareness are start . She starts panicking if I ’m not at our gate an hour before boarding , and she just becomes this person who is in a never-ending DoS of worry . I ’m think anyone that already has asshole tendency becomes 10 times worse . "

7.“Keep your essential oil diffuser at your house. If one more person pulls out an oil diffuser and acts like they get to pick the smell of the flight, I’m going to lose my mind.”
8.“Don’t kick the seat in front of you.”

9.“Get to your seat, throw your carry-on in the overhead, and sit down. It doesn’t take as much time as it does if you’re prepared to do these three things.”
10.“Wash your ass before you board.”
— BooeyNoine
11.“As a flight attendant, I wish passengers knew this: if you’re going to get up to use the lavatory during beverage service, then be OKAY with waiting in the back until we are done. Please don’t make us pull these 200-pound carts all the way back to let you get back to your seat.”
12.“When you are in a group, don’t fight to get off the plane quickly and then stop right in the doorway to look for your companions. Get out of the airway before doing anything else.”
— swomismybitch
13.“Don’t clip your toenails or fingernails.”
14.“Be kind to the flight attendants and listen to instructions.”
— Alternative_Fill2048
15.“Always leave the middle seat available if it’s an option. It was open seating, and I had a window seat. A lady took the middle seat and left the aisle seat open. Why?!”
16.“When de-planing, let the rows in front go first. Don’t try to shuffle up in front just because you have your bag.”
— Hiitsmetodd
17.“Keep your damn shoes on.”
18.“If you are a larger person, don’t use the headrest of the seat in front of you to hold onto as you lower and raise yourself into your seat. I cannot understand how people can be so clueless and literally jerk the passenger in front of them around.”
— BaconReceptacle
19.“Window seat gets the window. The aisle seat gets the aisle. The middle seat gets BOTH armrests.”
20.“Refrain from having foods that give you gas before flying.”
— KellyAnn3106
21.“Don’t change your baby’s diapers in the passenger area.”
22.“Sit in your assigned freakin' seat.”
— backbonus
23.“Don’t allow your child to scream and bug other passengers without at least saying or doing SOMETHING about it. Yes, it’s a child, but some discipline goes a long way.”
24.Lastly: “Asking someone to switch seats so you can sit with whomever you’re traveling with is ONLY acceptable when it’s a like seat for a like seat. It’s perfectly reasonable if you’re trying to switch an aisle seat for an aisle seat because the other aisle seat is next to your travel companion. But to ask for someone to give up their aisle or window seat for a middle seat is the height of entitlement. And, no, you being separated from your child on a flight is not my problem. Select and pay for your preferred seat before the flight. The number of people who think being separated from their child is someone else’s problem to fix is astounding!”
