As shared in the video above, there are so many unspoken rules when it comes to seating, but here are some tips for air travel in general:
- No cuts. Respect the line at boarding
- Don't be a nosy Nancy
- If headphones are on, do not bug the person
- Control your kids
- No taking shoes off
- Don't get up multiple times for unnecessary reasons if you are in the middle or window seat
- Thank the staff, always
