A few weeks ago, my mom went to New York for work and said it was one of the worst flights she’s ever been on. It was a new plane, so the seats were a little bit smaller, oddly shaped, and hardly reclined at all. Worst of all, she was in the middle seat, and…

What Would You Do? Travel Etiquette Survey
Surveys are being released all the time about various things related to travel, but I recently saw a clip on the Seattle news about one that really got my attention. That’s right, it’s a survey about travel etiquette. My favorite topic!! The survey, conducted by Travel Leaders Group, asked travelers to put themselves in certain…
Travel Etiquette Tip: Watch Your Bags Going Down the Aisle
You’ve probably seen it happen–someone walking down the aisle of an airplane, totally focused on what’s ahead of them, and completely unaware that they are hitting everyone already seated with their bag. This past week, the woman in front of me on our normal sized Super 80 (so not a small plane with a smaller…
Travel Etiquette Tip: Don’t stop in the middle of the jetbridge
This may be another one of those things that, like grabbing the seat in front of you, if you don’t fly often you don’t think about it. But after almost every flight I’ve taken over the last few weeks, someone has stopped abruptly, right in front of me, in the middle of the jetbridge (or…
Travel Etiquette: Where Does the Small Carry-on Go?
People email me questions about it. I see Google searches on it. And of course, I see it all the time while traveling. Evidently, there is a lot of confusion about where small carry-ons, or personal items, go. Let me clear it up for you. There are only two scenarios: 1) You have only one…
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…
Travel Etiquette tip: Don’t push and shove!!
My younger sister came to visit us last week. When we picked her up at the airport, our first question, as always, was, “So how was your flight?” She paused. “Well…… it was fine.” Hardly a ringing endorsement. When I questioned her further, she said that the person she sat next to was clearly not…

Travel Etiquette Tip: Please Don’t Grab the Seat in Front of You. Thank You.
This is something that, in my experience anyway, not many travelers think about. How many times have you finally gotten into your seat on the plane, put your stuff where you want it, and settled in with your book and headphones, when suddenly you are jerked backward because the person behind you is using your…
