Well, 2014 is coming to a close. It has been an interesting year on the blog, with plenty of comments, debates, and interesting anecdotes. Not a huge surprise, the most hotly debated posts all related to etiquette (pictured is a book written by one of my favorite etiquette bloggers Patricia Rossi). Here are four of…
As an elite flier with American I am usually lucky enough to board early. This means my bag is rarely in an overhead bin behind my seat. However, on my trip last week even though I boarded early the overhead bins were already full. I sat in row 8 but had to put my bag…
Last week I was waiting at the gate to board my plane when I had nice kick to the knees. No, it wasn’t TSA paying me back for all my complaints. Someone had let go of their top heavy luggage for just a split second and tipped over and it nailed the side of my…
We are about to embark on one of the biggest travel seasons of the year. With all the infrequent travelers soon to take to the skies, I wanted to pass along some of my favorite suitcase etiquette tips.

A few weeks back I posted about a woman talking on her phone while boarding who couldn’t get her suitcase up in to the overhead bin, but refused to put the phone down. This past week I had another annoying encounter with a traveler too focused on his cell phone to pay attention to his…
CNN’s Maria Cardona wrote in a recent article that airlines should get rid of reclining seats to solve the problem that diverted three flights over the past few weeks. The article went on to say a survey showed that 91% of air travelers would support banning reclining seats on short-distance flights. That percentage went down to 43%…
Recently I was boarding a flight to Boston when I noticed something pretty annoying. The lady in front of me was talking on her cell phone (loudly) while walking down the aisle boarding our flight. I could tell she was completely distracted while pulling her luggage down the aisle as she bumped into at least…
