As I sit in the lounge of the Incheon Airport. I want to know if we can post on the walls of every bathroom stall in the airport and maybe hand out colorful reading material as you get your ticket (You are sitting in the airport for at least 90 minutes anyway) of a list of Airplane Etiquette.
Here is how I see it:
1. Learn the queue- It is an orderly line not a pushing free for all. Your seat is assigned and no one else can take it.
2. Don't sit in someone elses seat because you like it better. It causes problems on boarding when you are in row 34e but you tell me (with a straight face) I am ticketed 6a and the steward must interject to resolve while everyone waits. You will need to prove it so just go to your assigned seat!
3. Put your crap- carryon bag, duty free items, crazy last minute expensive airport trinkets,candy, food into your compartment -NOT the first one you see above my seat 6a/b - You are in row 34"f" in/"g"!
4. Night flights are for rest. Do not do acrobatic exercises in your seat (or major yoga- like no down ward dog or legs over the seat in front of you- even if it is empty)
5.* addendum to rule #4- On all flights do not do acrobatic exercise in your seat.- Like sitting with your feet on chair crossed yoga style. DO you see the person beside you doesn't like a knee on their lap!
6. The entire crew is not there souly for your enjoyment, use and at the expense of all other 300 paid seat holders. If you want to be treated like royalty buy your own jet.
7. When you eat your meal it is not acceptable to store your chicken and rice in the front compartment to eat when you awake in the morning. It is fine if it is the peanuts or a wrapped cookie.
8. Ringing for the host evertime you want a water is not OK. Especially at 3, 4 and 5 in the morning.
9. You have one air vent- the other two are not for you to monoplize.
10. Don't kick the seat in front of you
11. Don't slam your tray up and down.
12. When you relax you feet should not go so far as to reach beyond the feet of the person in front of you. (I know an Ostrich was behind me).
14. Do not lift the arm rest between your seat so you can have more room unless it is your wife, child or signicant other. I paid for a whole seat not 3/4 so you can be more comfy.
15. ????Add yours if I forgot something.....
