The success of your flight, whether it's smooth, pleasant, and comfortable, depends not only on the airline's service but also on the attitude and behavior of the passengers. Remember these 7 things you should never do when flying.
A smooth flight largely depends on the behavior of the passengers on board.
Rushing when boarding or disembarking the plane
Every passenger may be in a hurry with their personal matters, but that doesn't give you the right to push or cut in line while boarding or disembarking the plane. This can be uncomfortable for everyone and may even cause congestion or chaos. So, be sure to respect the queue rules when getting on or off the plane.
Overusing the overhead storage compartments
The overhead compartment can hold about three carry-on size suitcases. However, it's best to store only your carry-on bag there. Avoid stuffing all your belongings like jackets, scarves, books, and magazines, as this would take up space that other passengers need.
Using the restroom during takeoff or landing
The takeoff and landing phases are times when airlines advise passengers not to move from their seats. Therefore, try to avoid using the restroom during this period unless it's an emergency that cannot be delayed.
Requesting a seat change
This may not be a major issue on the flight, but it can make other passengers feel uncomfortable. Unless there’s an urgent or unavoidable reason, it's best to stick to the seat assigned to you by the airline as printed on your ticket.
Abusing the flight attendant call button
The call button for flight attendants should only be used in case of emergency. The crew onboard is often very busy, so they may not have the time to attend to every minor request. Unless it's necessary, wait for a flight attendant to pass by and then ask for assistance.
Not switching your phone to airplane mode
As the plane is about to take off, airlines always recommend that passengers turn off their phones or set them to airplane mode. The phone signals at high altitudes can interfere with communication signals, making it harder for pilots to navigate. In fact, many passengers still ignore this rule, and flight attendants have to remind them regularly. So, make sure to follow this guideline.
Eating strong-smelling foods on the plane
This is one of the most common mistakes passengers make when flying. It's completely normal to bring snacks onboard, and it's not prohibited. However, the type of food you bring is important. It's best to bring dry snacks like cookies, nuts, or chips. Avoid foods with strong odors or liquids, especially peanut butter, as someone on the plane may have an allergy.
