Hopefully, you're planning on traveling to some exciting destinations in 2024. If you'll be flying, The Wall Street Journal has these rules for less annoying flights: ✈️ Don't abuse preboarding privileges. (You don't get to bring everyone in the family along.) ✈️ Do keep your airline status to yourself. (Don't broadcast your top boarding position.) ✈️ Don't bonk other passengers with your backpack. (Many people wearing them have no awareness of people behind them when they turn around.) ✈️ Do stow your bags in the right section. (If you see a bin sticker that says it's reserved for another section, move on.) ✈️ Don't be a bin hog. (Heed flight-attendant announcements about only putting your bigger carry-ons in the overhead bins so there's enough room for everyone's bags.) ✈️ Do sit down as quickly as possible. (You can reorganize your stuff before or after takeoff.) ✈️ Do think twice before asking another passenger to switch seats. (To simply sit next to your spouse or partner or best friend? That's asking a lot.) ✈️ Don't watch in-flight movies or TV or play video games without headphones. Ever. (Your seatmates don't need a play-by-play of the Vikings-Bears game.) ✈️ Do warn people when you are about to recline your seat. (This is a polarizing one, but it's the polite thing to do.) ✈️ Don't backtrack to get your bag. (Wait in your seat until deplaning is done, or there's an unexpected break in the action.) ✈️ Do wait your turn to get off the plane. (Unless a flight attendant announces to let passengers with tight connections off, etiquette dictates a row-by-row exit from the plane.) Thoughts? Additions? #travel #flying #airtravel #manners
