It seems like every time I go to Vegas I see people displaying what I consider to be less than stellar travel etiquette. Maybe it’s because so many infrequent travelers go there? Last week’s trip was no exception, and I noticed a couple of situations that I want to discuss with all of you. Our…

Standing on airplane seats: is it rude?
Time for another edition of, “Is This Rude?” Over the past several months, I have noticed something happening more and more often. People are boarding planes, trying to shove their rollaboards into the overhead bins, and they just won’t fit. So they climb up onto the seat to push it in. Then they get down…
Travel Etiquette Tip: Getting to the middle seat
It has become clear to me that a lot of travelers are not clear on how to get to a non-aisle seat politely. I’ve covered it before, but after a recent flight I figure a rehash is in order. On this particular flight a few weeks ago I had the aisle seat, and when I…

Travel Etiquette Tip: Don’t Clip Your Fingernails In a Plane. Thank you.
My best friend had quite the interesting trip home from Atlanta last month. You’ve already heard about the gate changes she had to deal with, but that was way better than what happened actually on her flight. She sits down in her seat, gets comfy, and goes to sleep. After about half an hour, she…
