As more and more people travel during the summer, airplanes get more crowded. Airplanes can be comfortable, that is if you are paying for first class seats. For all the people who have to sit in coach, this is a list of things that you should not do and hopefully, you do not encounter them either.
1. Talking at the highest possible volume you can.
Let's be real no one wants to hear what you have to say on an airplane. Everyone wants to listen to music, watch TV or read a book. You are annoying everyone around you by talking out loud so please just don't.
2. Kicking or nudging the seat in front of you.
The seat is mine, it is not yours. Yes, you may have access to the back of it but that doesn't give you the right to touch it in any way. I understand an occasional bump but as soon as it happens more than twice you will be receiving a glare from me.
3. Push the seat back as far as possible.
We get it your seat can recline, congratulations so can everyone else's. Just because you recline it, it doesn't mean you can make it more comfortable. It changes nothing so if you could just do it a little or not at all that would be lovely.
4. Keep getting up to use the bathroom when sitting in a window seat.
People do not want to continuously get up for you. Make the bathroom trip once or twice if it is a long fight.
5. Babies...
Though they can be cute, they're annoying. Where are you taking your baby? It's a baby leave them at home and take a nice vacation alone.
6. Bringing smelly food onboard.
I understand, you're hungry and airplane food sucks. Can't you eat before the flight? No one wants to smell your food especially because we can't eat it.
7. Out loud bodily functions.
Farting, burping, anything along the lines of gross should not be done out loud during flight. Go to the bathroom-- it is that simple.
8. Opening the window during a night flight
Just because it's dark outside doesn't mean that it still doesn't shine a light in. Close the window!
9. Lights on during night flight.
Literally just turn it off. You're annoying.
10. Lack of deodorant.
You know you're going to be on a plane for hours around a bunch of people. We don't want to smell you, so please be hygienic.
11. Overhead bin hoggers.
Don't overstuff your bag. Don't put both bags you brought on in the bins. There is limited space so take what's yours and no more.
