Courtesy You Need to Exercise from Home to Your Seat in the Plane When You Travel
I am a frequent flyer, not only Stateside but International. It is sometimes stressful and sometimes enjoyable. But most of the time during my trips, what really upsets me is not my wrong and negative attitude towards myself, but with people at the Airport, in the plain, or while standing in line waiting for my turn. There are a few things I wish people will take care of before they leave home or before they drive from their hotel room to the Airport...
1- Personal Hygiene and Dress Code. Be sure to brush your teeth, put some deodorant, put on clothes that were not exposed in the kitchen or while you were cooking. And be sure to put some foot powder on your shoes if your feet smells.
2- Bring a headset with a microphone so you will not disturb the person next to you, or when someone seated next to you at the plane is tired or sleeping. Some are working or writing in the plane, or may be praying. Therefore, be nice by not being so loud. They don't care anyways if you're in a million dollar deal.
3- If you're traveling with a baby or loud kids, be prepared to have something for them to play with, make food or drinks handy for your baby, child or children. I know you don't want to annoy other passengers if your kids started to get bored or uneasy.
4- Be helpful to others and give way to older people and to the disabled persons in line or at the waiting area.
5- Always be nice to the staff and flight attendants. They are not your servants, although they are there to serve you. It's always nice to say; "Please" and "Thank You".
6- If you want to sleep, please be sure to lean on the side where you won't make other passengers uncomfortable because you snore so loud, and not to have body contact with other passengers, especially with opposite sex.
7- If you go to the restroom a lot, it's always nice to let the passengers that locked you in know so they could switch seat if they don't want to be disturbed.
8- If you want to eat at the plane, please don't bring dried fish, chicharone, or anything that have an unusual smell. Eat slowly and quietly.
9- If you have been drinking, be sure to gargle some listerine, chew some gum or mint candies. Best of all- brush your teeth.
10- Don't talk loud to other passengers about your sports car, your new big home, or multi million business; believe me- they don't care.
11- If you like to play in your laptop, ipad, or iphone; it is nice of you if you use a headset as not to annoy others. It is also very disturbing to others if you're watching R- Rated movies or X- Rated movies.
12- Comb your hair, be courteous, and respectful of others. Cutting off someone in line is something you don't want other people will do to you, they felt the same if you will do it to them.
I hope this will be of help to everyone. Fly comfortably by being a comfort to others. Be pleasant.
