This was great! Thank you! I would add: 1. when people bring smelly food into the airplane, maybe something they bought at the airport, like fried chicken or shrimps (some people get allergic reactions even if they smell them). 2. Leaving lots of trash behind; flight attendants walk by several times collecting trash but they still keep it just to leave a mess behind 3. Those watching certain shows or movies that are not suitable for all ages. Kids can be sittting close by and see their screen. 4. The ones that take your seat assuming you will be OK with it.
It's shrimp, not shrimps and if they actually served food on board people wouldn't bring so much with them. I had a non-stinky sandwich on a flight and felt so uncomfortable that I starved until I reached my destination because I didn't want any dirty looks. That isn't right either.
@chiaralistica I see your point, and agree people should not starve, in your case, if you were too conscious about the sandwich, but feeling hungry, you can always buy a meal or a snack from their menu. Also, I will kindly suggest you to do your research before posting a correction, the term "shrimps" is correct.
I've always felt that you should at least check that you won't disturb someone before reclining. We're already in a tight space - don't be more selfish. Flight attendants now ask people to revert their seats when people are eating which helps
Yes! It is extremely annoying to have someone you don't know almost laying their head in your lap because they reclined too much. I am quite short, and it is annoying enough for me, but my boyfriend is really tall, and it is actually painful for people who have long legs.
Hallo! Diese Sitze wie im Bild dargestellt existieren nicht mehr. Welche Fluggesellschaften haben so was? Ich fliege wenn überhaupt Economy Class. Neu Egg-Chairs (Stinken sollte man trotzdem nicht) Hoffe geholfen.
That's what I do and if it's a tall person behind me I typically skip it or just recline a fraction of the way only to ease back pain during the flight.
Ibagree but the same people who ignore the safely videos will ignore this. It's sad the world we live in. Flying used to be great but since 9/11 and a generation of self entitled people who have taken over in the rude and ignorant category
i never understand people who stand up immediately when the plane lands before its time to deboard or people who stand in line to get on the plane before their group number is called. I know we all want to stretch our legs and we are all in a hurry but you standing up and creating a crowd isn’t making things go faster, so just be patient and wait your turn.
One trying I would add is to respect people boundaries. It’s OK to have a conversation with the passenger next to you, it’s nice to get to know each other. But please, it doesn’t mean that this person wants to chat during 5 hours. Be aware of non-verbal expressions, and stop talking if you see that the other passenger wants to do something else than socializing.
In all my years of flying, I have never reclined my seat. I also have traveled where there were cats and dogs on the plane who behaved better then most people
Same here. I never recline my seat. When someone does in front of me, it crushes my knees and it so painful. People are so selfish.. not everyone is short. Thinking of how your actions impact others is what etiquette is all about.
All of the points are so well said! I absolutely loved how you put “you have the absolute right to do it. But the question is not if you have the right or not, the question is: do you want to have manners on top of just exercising your rights?” This just applies to SO many situations in life and I find it such a shame that we aren’t taught manners anymore these days, everything is so focused on having “the right” to everything. It creates such a selfish society without them realising it.
Reminds me of the time I had no time for a shower on way to a cross country flight...probably smelled ok because had come straight from swimming in the ocean, but itched from drying salt water on my skin entire trip.
@tdynley You're right they definitely do! Having a toothbrush/paste also feels so refreshing on long flights after sleeping. I like that some airlines give out a brush/paste bags at departure
i agree, something about covid and the recent times has made people very individualistic. people don’t care about being polite anymore, only about themselves.
Excellent commentary Anna! Not only applies to planes but also subways, waiting rooms, restaurants, etc. I am constantly AMAZED at the lack of common sense manners used (not used 😂) in society today.❤ love your content. merry Christmas 🎄.
I would also wish that people showered before their flights, because let me tell you, I was standing behind a woman waiting to board the plane and I thought that I was going to pass out from her smell. Please be considerate of your BO. 😬😬
The trouble with fragrance these days is that too many will drown themselves in the stink and you can smell them from the next zip code. Less is more and more than 2 feet away people shouldn't be able to smell you. I'm specifically referencing those cheap body sprays that are so noxious, gives me an instant migraine and trust me, I won't be at my nicest when interacting with you and your stench.
@chiaralistica I completely understand, I personally cannot bathe in perfume, it triggers my migraines. I've personally sat next to the two different types of people, those who didn't bathe and use deodorant, as well as those who bathed in perfume. Both variations nauseated me. Like Anna said, make sure your clothes are clean, you bathe, and use deodorant.
I work in a school and i dont even wear fragrance to my job because some kids might be sensitive. idk how some people aren’t more aware. Just shower everyday and wear deodorant. save the perfume for a date night
I always check what's behind me when reclining a seat. If it's a 6'3" dude, I try not to but i need a little pitch for my back. If the seat is occupied I'll ask the person if they mind. Nobody has ever said no. We can all get along and get to our destination. I have noticed that the crowd at some airports tends to be better than others and I try to use the better ones. I also greet the crew and thank them at the end. They are charged with our safety and that's a great responsibility.
Thank you! So much of this seems like common sense-but it is not. As someone who flies a lot, I am blown away at the lack of manners and awareness for those around you. I wish everyone had to watch this video before boarding a plane 😊
I love when you post etiquette videos Anna! I only wish more people would care to view them. Probably if we’re watching this then we’re not the worst offenders…
I have had the unfortunate pleasure of a passenger who had long hair throw her hair over the seat almost in the faces of those behind her. When the flight attendant told her to keep her hair to herself, she basically ignored the flight attendant. I love long thick gorgeous hair, envy those who have it, but there is a time and place to let it all hang out, and flying isn't one of those times.
I have waist length hair, and would be too grossed out if my hair was all over in other peoples space or sad if it got caught in things and damaged. It’s unhygienic for everyone involved. Especially that girl when she is walking around wearing everyone’s bacteria in her hair close to her body. Lol maybe sneeze on these people? I keep mine in a bun or braid when I travel 😂😅
Yes to this!!!! I have long hair and keep it in a braid or low bun, I wouldn't dare leave it down and dangling in someone else's space. My brother and I experienced the same issue, lol, I wonder if it's the same woman 😅 and that was very disgusting as her hair went into my brother's drink. Just please keep your locks to your own body and not in people's food, drinks, or bodies.
There was a feeling of being in a sardine can that made me stop flying. I do agree with what you say, Ana, about being respectful to other people’s space. ❤
Thank you for bringing up the point about people traveling when sick, I hate it so much. Even during covid times, people were travelling with the worst of coughs, I got into a plane in 2022 that was FULL of people coughing with really wet, bad coughs, I was so scared I would get sick. I understand that people tend to buy the cheapest tickets and that's often non-refundable, but I always try to upgrade my tickets so that I have cancellation or date change available because you never know and travelling while sick is also not fun anyways. I've travelled with my son sick because we had already rescheduled the flight so I didn't want to reschedule it again and his asthma got really bad because we were in a tropical country, so it was not a fun experience, in retrospect it would have been better to wait until his cold was better and then travel.
Bringing over the limit carry on baggage and stuffing it in the overhead bins forcing others to squeeze their bags in or having to check in. Or instead of placing it under the seat in front, stuffing it overhead.- Amy
Hello Anna ,manners are the most important part of life! A lot of people make me cringe by their lack of manners and consideration for others! It’s all about me me me !!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
How politely to reach your middle or window seat if someone is already sitting on a side seat. Or even worse - you really need to go to bathroom on a really long flight and person sitting next to you is sleeping for a long time. How to pass him -try to climb over or wake him up?
Yay Anna uploaded!!! Miss the travel content and this etiquette is just as good - I've never had to deal with big issues in the airplane, but thus is a great reference just in case
Flying was initially a luxury- and people would dress accordingly- the mindset was this is something to be respected and enjoyed - flying now is anything but luxurious - at least for most people getting on a plane currently- currently flying is something I frankly refuse to do - the particular issues you discussed here - and then some are the reasons why - I realize my answer to this problem might now be a luxury but I am glad to say it’s been a long time since I have been on a plane❤
We travel 5-6mos a year. When it comes to reclining my seat, I always look behind me to see if it will adversely affect the person behind me. As you say, timing is everything.
Thank you Anna. What is really annoying for me when people start putting their 3 sweaters , voluminous winter jackets in the shelf above the seats and guess what..there are not enough space to put your luggage on the top however it is usually meant for that. And not for your full wardrobe to store above without a bag or luggage. As a solution buy extra luggage space for your clothes if needed or place a light jacket behind your back or keep it in the bag or without accurately in front of your seat.😞
Good grief! I didn't realise people were like this. Where is their self-respect? These are yet more examples suggesting that 'shame', and shaming, seem to have disappeared from western society. We need them to return, ASAP.
Hello!💗 it’s actually *on an airplane, we say “on “ when it’s a big vehicle and you can walk around inside, for example “on the bus” If it’s a relatively small vehicle that you can only sit in, then it becomes “in”, for example “in the car”
I once had a man in front of me push his back rest so far I couldn't get of of my seat! I asked politely if he could raise it. I can't repeat what he said to me. In the end the hostess moved him and she came and apologised to me. It would have been better if the man had. Some people are just me, me, me.
Unfortunately I'm one of those people who tend to start talking loudly when I'm really engaged in a conversation. I'm not even aware of it when I do either. I'm trying to be more self-aware of that situation though.
Thank you Anna for mentioning us who are allergic to perfume. You are not the only one. Sorry that you are also suffering from this, but thank you so much for being a voice for the rest of us. I am always nervous to get on an airplane because I might end up next to someone who is wearing perfume.
I'm sorry that you are sensitive to perfume. My mom is plagued with the same affliction, and she let's me know if whatever perfume I wear bothers her. I just make sure that before I have a flight I shower and use deodorant and one spritz of light perfume under clothes. I never load up on anything heavy nor do I overdo it, as I am conscious about not offending my neighbors on my flight.
Once when I woke up from my sleep on a plane trip, a person (three seats away in my row) had stretched out over all the seats in our row with her feet right in my face!
Anna! Thank you so much for the video! Very helpful. Would you please record a video how elegant ladies create boundaries during holiday time? Boundaries about gift giving or receiving, declining invitation, family gathering and topics of discussion. Would appreciate it very much ❤❤
Completely agree with this about reclining seats when flying. I spent a 7 hr flight to USA with the rudest woman in front of me. I flew back on my birthday so treated myself to business class…..perfect x
With regards to reclining, seats the onus is on the airline to create an environment that is comfortable for those paying large amounts of money to fly with them.
That is simply not the reality though and hasn't been for decades. So why make the person behind you suffer? When someone in front of me reclines, it crushes my knees and is so painful. Etiquette is all about thinking of others..
I’m a frequent flyer, and there are a few things I don’t understand about some passengers: 1. People who sit in your assigned seat and act like they’re entitled to it, even though you may have paid extra for that seat. 2. Passengers who are sick (I know it can happen) but don’t cover their mouths when they cough. This happens almost every time I fly, and as a result, I often end up getting sick. 3. During boarding, when people push their way to the front, ignoring those who are already in line. This happened to me -I was one of the last to board, and as I was walking to my seat, a guy rushed past me to grab an emergency exit seat. 4. People sitting behind me who kick my seat, or children doing the same while their parents don’t intervene. 5. Sitting in the middle seat between two men who spread out, leaving no room for me. 6. Passengers who fall asleep and lean on me. 7. People wearing strong perfumes that trigger my migraines. These are some of the challenges I often face while flying.
I am a flight attendant with 15 years of experience (including private, middle east and main German airline) and can only confirm all of your points both from a flight crew and passenger view. Normally telling people to recline their seat at meal time but at times annoying if you need to tell numerous people since in my understanding there should be a common feeling of courtesy. Usually people instantly do that without protesting or discussing.
I agree with all the points about basic courtesy when traveling, but the worst is when people travel while sick and don’t take precautions, like covering their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, or wearing a mask. On my recent flight from Switzerland to Dubai, a young boy sitting behind me coughed non-stop throughout the entire six-hour flight without covering his mouth. As I write this, I’m now sick with a 39° fever.
If there's one thing I dream of, is to get to my goals. I want my own company. Like a really huge company that fit my values. I also want to pursue my artistic ventures.
I’m a bit baffled by all of the comments being upset saying that they HAVE to fully recline or that it’s their RIGHT to wear perfume everywhere - did you know that you’re watching an etiquette channel??
I would say yes, if you can recline your seat, you have the right to do so all the way (being polite about it), except during taxi/takeoff and landing as well as during meal service times. And yes, 1:38 I LOVE flying ! ❤
It isn't polite though. When someone reclines their seat it crushes my knees and it's quite painful. That is hardly proper etiquette. Good etiquette is all about thinking of others.. I never recline my seat. It would only be acceptable (though not preferred) if it was a very long overnight flight. I never recline my seat as I'm always thinking of others. Not everyone is short. Having the right to do so is not the same as it being proper etiquette and thoughtful.
@@wendigo1919 You can recline too then. People have the right to do so, they should be courteous and not do it all the way if your plane has no legroom, but they don't necessarily have to be.
I agree with you! When I fly I usually plan on sleeping my entire flight. My politeness ends where my needs start. I’ve had people behind me complain about my seat being reclined while the person in front of me is reclined so now I’m smushed. If a baby cries the entire time I don’t mind. If a person in front of me reclines I don’t mind. But I will sleep my entire flight more than likely so I can be awake to enjoy my destination.
@@jetzeellgraham2563 exactly. the person in front of me, next to me, 90% of the plane is reclined. but im not supposed bc someone who rarely flies says it's "rude"? please.
Do you have any videos explaining how to treat and talk to the service staff in your mansion, such as on a yacht or a private jet? Thanks for all your advice !
Same ! My neck is fused and I am tall . I honestly don’t see a problem with reclining. It doesn’t make less space for the legs of the person behind you at all
@@monikagorecki4995 You must not have long legs then. Not everyone who is tall has long legs (some have a longer torso). When someone reclines their seat in front of me, it absolutely crushes my knees and it's so painful. I'm 5'10" with long legs. It most certainly makes less room for the legs at the point of the knees, which is where the seat in front reclines.
the default position of seats these days literally hunches the neck forward. my back starts seizing up into a knot from the moment I sit down, until the headrest can be moved back several inches.
@@wendigo1919 I actually have very long legs . If I have an overweight flight I prefer the isle so I can stretch my legs to the isle . And it never bothers me if the person in front of me reclines the sit. I just stretch my legs under the sit in front of me 🤷♀️
If I wanted to recline my seat, I would definitely ASK the person behind me if it's ok with them. I was raised in the Deep South (USA) where manners and etiquette are everything.
Don’t worry I recline immediately. And the person in front of me usually reclines their seat too and it’s not an issue. Also, nothing sucks more than being tall on a plane. When your knees hit the seat in front of you almost no matter what.
What about travellers from certain country/region who have a very strong axillary/shoulder smell coz of their spicy diet and one can't stant that smell ???!!!! an emergency perfume??? What do you suggest?
You just need to be tolerant of those travelers my dear. You yourself may have certain odors or aspects of your physical appearance that others find objectionable...
Oh I totally see where you’re coming from. Some smells just give me headaches and make me sneeze, and I’ve definitely had experiences on international flights where foreign scents, spices, and plain BO was really irritating. Hopefully a flight attendant can find another seat if it’s too bad :/
11. dont 💩 on a flight. Do that at home before leaving. 12. Don’t do your hair or full skincare routine on a flight. 13. Make sure your body odor is in check. As someone who has a naturally strong scent, I understand this can be harder for some people. But, figure it out. 14. Being a messy eater or bringing food onto a flight that has a really strong smell.
I haven't flown in years & it appears the milieu has really deteriorated recently! I'd have to save & go business or first class--& then pray for the best!
The purfume thing is so true!! The girl next to me on my last trip home from Japan to Australia was wearing a sweet sweet honey purfume and I had to talk to the flight attendant really quietly if there was a chance I could move (and I am a purfume lover people…) and I was so motion sick from it… but in the end, I just had to deal with it as it was a fairly full flight.
Really enjoy your advice and this may have been mentioned previously. But, I can’t go away without adding to the hair comments. People with long lair many times have a tendency to toss it over the back of the seat into someone’s tray. Once a ponytail hit me in the face and another in my food and yet another in my drink. Terrible!
It's like a lot of people nowadays are completely oblivious when it comes to etiquette. We have become a society of me, me, me, which is fine if you want to live that way i guess, but when you start infringing on other ppl's rights, that's a problem. I mean, grown adults who don't pick up their trash, & yes, i've had those inconsiderate ppl who recline the whole flight, without a care in the world, & some have the audacity to take off their shoes while doing it.....i could go on & on 😵💫
I stopped flying myself and my family in economy over this past year because of pretty much every reason you have listed in this video. Our society could give two craps about being civil anymore. Between the chewing, perfume, women clacking their nails, limited space, etc I can’t do it anymore. First class/private or bust!
I also have decided just to limit my travel now. Between seat kickers, recliners during dinner service, coughing the whole time - sniffing, nose blowing, I just cannot anymore.
Étiquette vidéos should be shown alongside the safety instructions. This has become a necessity these days. Bravo 🙏
Yes! I am FA and people are worse than animals..

Thank you for bringing up the point about people traveling when sick, I hate it so much. Even during covid times, people were travelling with the worst of coughs, I got into a plane in 2022 that was FULL of people coughing with really wet, bad coughs, I was so scared I would get sick. I understand that people tend to buy the cheapest tickets and that's often non-refundable, but I always try to upgrade my tickets so that I have cancellation or date change available because you never know and travelling while sick is also not fun anyways. I've travelled with my son sick because we had already rescheduled the flight so I didn't want to reschedule it again and his asthma got really bad because we were in a tropical country, so it was not a fun experience, in retrospect it would have been better to wait until his cold was better and then travel.
Again amazing video you did there Anna! Thank you so much, your advices are not only good for plane traveling but also for train travel 🙌🏼✨
Bringing over the limit carry on baggage and stuffing it in the overhead bins forcing others to squeeze their bags in or having to check in. Or instead of placing it under the seat in front, stuffing it overhead.- Amy
When everyone gets up and wants to leave the plane all at the same time, while pushing 😂
Anna you are so incredibly funny 🤩 I love this, TYSM ✨
As always, a really great video! I would just add that need for jumping up from the seat the moment the aeroplane touches the ground
I am so glad youre back to the context
Very good and useful advice. You look and sound so elegant!
Hello Anna ,manners are the most important part of life! A lot of people make me cringe by their lack of manners and consideration for others!
It’s all about me me me !!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
How politely to reach your middle or window seat if someone is already sitting on a side seat. Or even worse - you really need to go to bathroom on a really long flight and person sitting next to you is sleeping for a long time. How to pass him -try to climb over or wake him up?
Please make a video on how to deal with rude people while travelling
Yay Anna uploaded!!! Miss the travel content and this etiquette is just as good - I've never had to deal with big issues in the airplane, but thus is a great reference just in case
Flying was initially a luxury- and people would dress accordingly- the mindset was this is something to be respected and enjoyed - flying now is anything but luxurious - at least for most people getting on a plane currently- currently flying is something I frankly refuse to do - the particular issues you discussed here - and then some are the reasons why - I realize my answer to this problem might now be a luxury but I am glad to say it’s been a long time since I have been on a plane❤
We travel 5-6mos a year. When it comes to reclining my seat, I always look behind me to see if it will adversely affect the person behind me. As you say, timing is everything.
I am naturally always polite, thus I can not bargain with anyone. Plz make a video to teach polite people how to bargain.
Thank you Anna. What is really annoying for me when people start putting their 3 sweaters , voluminous winter jackets in the shelf above the seats and guess what..there are not enough space to put your luggage on the top however it is usually meant for that. And not for your full wardrobe to store above without a bag or luggage.
As a solution buy extra luggage space for your clothes if needed or place a light jacket behind your back or keep it in the bag or without accurately in front of your seat.😞
How did Anna know I was going on vacation?!?! Haha love you❤
iPad nanny got me 😂😂😂😂
Many such cases.
Merry Christmas our dear Anna 🌿
Remember: You are also really funny, lots of humor😅 The bare feet on the armrest got me😂😂😂
Ahhhh. Your lovely St John dress!
💚💚💚💚💚💚
good job .... I enjoyed it, true we all experienced some or all of these during our flights
Yes, I've had my knees slammed when the person in front of me rapidly reclined their seat with no warning. Ugh.
Hello, what about standing up after landing? There is a lot going on wrong at this stage of any flight :) I would appreciate your advise. Thank you ❤
Good grief! I didn't realise people were like this. Where is their self-respect?
These are yet more examples suggesting that 'shame', and shaming, seem to have disappeared from western society. We need them to return, ASAP.
You released this just in time before my first flight in over a year😍
Agree to everything said in this video 100%
I feel this topic deeply
Thank you for sharing this info. I was always wondering about all these questions. Now I know
Hello!💗 it’s actually *on an airplane,
we say “on “ when it’s a big vehicle and you can walk around inside, for example “on the bus”
If it’s a relatively small vehicle that you can only sit in, then it becomes “in”, for example “in the car”
I just got off a plane 😂😂 I missed this! Love you, Ana! ❤
To me what you said is common sense and it saddens me that to many people its not
I once had a man in front of me push his back rest so far I couldn't get of of my seat! I asked politely if he could raise it. I can't repeat what he said to me. In the end the hostess moved him and she came and apologised to me. It would have been better if the man had. Some people are just me, me, me.
Unfortunately I'm one of those people who tend to start talking loudly when I'm really engaged in a conversation. I'm not even aware of it when I do either. I'm trying to be more self-aware of that situation though.
Relaxed Anna sounds joyful 🥰
Thank you Anna for mentioning us who are allergic to perfume. You are not the only one. Sorry that you are also suffering from this, but thank you so much for being a voice for the rest of us. I am always nervous to get on an airplane because I might end up next to someone who is wearing perfume.
I'm sorry that you are sensitive to perfume. My mom is plagued with the same affliction, and she let's me know if whatever perfume I wear bothers her. I just make sure that before I have a flight I shower and use deodorant and one spritz of light perfume under clothes. I never load up on anything heavy nor do I overdo it, as I am conscious about not offending my neighbors on my flight.
I hope this instructional video will be viewed by as many people as possible.
Once when I woke up from my sleep on a plane trip, a person (three seats away in my row) had stretched out over all the seats in our row with her feet right in my face!
Anna! Thank you so much for the video! Very helpful.
Would you please record a video how elegant ladies create boundaries during holiday time? Boundaries about gift giving or receiving, declining invitation, family gathering and topics of discussion. Would appreciate it very much ❤❤
Bravo.
Completely agree with this about reclining seats when flying. I spent a 7 hr flight to USA with the rudest woman in front of me. I flew back on my birthday so treated myself to business class…..perfect x
With regards to reclining, seats the onus is on the airline to create an environment that is comfortable for those paying large amounts of money to fly with them.
That is simply not the reality though and hasn't been for decades. So why make the person behind you suffer? When someone in front of me reclines, it crushes my knees and is so painful. Etiquette is all about thinking of others..
@@wendigo1919why should the person behind make the person in front suffer?
I’m a frequent flyer, and there are a few things I don’t understand about some passengers:
1. People who sit in your assigned seat and act like they’re entitled to it, even though you may have paid extra for that seat.
2. Passengers who are sick (I know it can happen) but don’t cover their mouths when they cough. This happens almost every time I fly, and as a result, I often end up getting sick.
3. During boarding, when people push their way to the front, ignoring those who are already in line. This happened to me -I was one of the last to board, and as I was walking to my seat, a guy rushed past me to grab an emergency exit seat.
4. People sitting behind me who kick my seat, or children doing the same while their parents don’t intervene.
5. Sitting in the middle seat between two men who spread out, leaving no room for me.
6. Passengers who fall asleep and lean on me.
7. People wearing strong perfumes that trigger my migraines.
These are some of the challenges I often face while flying.
I am a flight attendant with 15 years of experience (including private, middle east and main German airline) and can only confirm all of your points both from a flight crew and passenger view. Normally telling people to recline their seat at meal time but at times annoying if you need to tell numerous people since in my understanding there should be a common feeling of courtesy. Usually people instantly do that without protesting or discussing.
I agree with all the points about basic courtesy when traveling, but the worst is when people travel while sick and don’t take precautions, like covering their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, or wearing a mask.
On my recent flight from Switzerland to Dubai, a young boy sitting behind me coughed non-stop throughout the entire six-hour flight without covering his mouth. As I write this, I’m now sick with a 39° fever.
If there's one thing I dream of, is to get to my goals. I want my own company. Like a really huge company that fit my values. I also want to pursue my artistic ventures.
One thing that really annoys me is when the person behind me grab my chair so strong when he gets up or sitting down and they don’t even notice
[You have a] Merry Christmas, huh, you two? Happy new year!!
I’m a bit baffled by all of the comments being upset saying that they HAVE to fully recline or that it’s their RIGHT to wear perfume everywhere - did you know that you’re watching an etiquette channel??
Great! Thank you.
What lip products are you wearing? Lipstick. Lipliner. Gloss. Etc
Beautiful.
I would say yes, if you can recline your seat, you have the right to do so all the way (being polite about it), except during taxi/takeoff and landing as well as during meal service times. And yes, 1:38 I LOVE flying ! ❤
It isn't polite though. When someone reclines their seat it crushes my knees and it's quite painful. That is hardly proper etiquette. Good etiquette is all about thinking of others.. I never recline my seat. It would only be acceptable (though not preferred) if it was a very long overnight flight. I never recline my seat as I'm always thinking of others. Not everyone is short. Having the right to do so is not the same as it being proper etiquette and thoughtful.
@@wendigo1919 You can recline too then. People have the right to do so, they should be courteous and not do it all the way if your plane has no legroom, but they don't necessarily have to be.
I agree with you! When I fly I usually plan on sleeping my entire flight. My politeness ends where my needs start. I’ve had people behind me complain about my seat being reclined while the person in front of me is reclined so now I’m smushed. If a baby cries the entire time I don’t mind. If a person in front of me reclines I don’t mind. But I will sleep my entire flight more than likely so I can be awake to enjoy my destination.
As a person with a back pain I can’t seat all the time without reclining, especially when flight duration is 14 hours.
@@jetzeellgraham2563 exactly. the person in front of me, next to me, 90% of the plane is reclined. but im not supposed bc someone who rarely flies says it's "rude"? please.
Do you have any videos explaining how to treat and talk to the service staff in your mansion, such as on a yacht or a private jet? Thanks for all your advice !
Excellent video...
Most econ9my seats recline few cms so i am not sure what 'all the means '. They hardly recli e it spretty ok to recline them when its allowed to do so
No, there is a slight recline and a full recline where the seat in front of you is practically in your lap.
@wendigo1919 what airline
Perfect example of "Just because you CAN do something doesn't always mean you should".
I have to recline for my back. I’m respectful of someone behind me but I am a RECLINER!!!
Same ! My neck is fused and I am tall . I honestly don’t see a problem with reclining.
It doesn’t make less space for the legs of the person behind you at all
aaah, there are some advantages of being short. I’m 5 feet tall and in addition to not needing to recline, I can stand under the bulkhead.
@@monikagorecki4995 You must not have long legs then. Not everyone who is tall has long legs (some have a longer torso). When someone reclines their seat in front of me, it absolutely crushes my knees and it's so painful. I'm 5'10" with long legs. It most certainly makes less room for the legs at the point of the knees, which is where the seat in front reclines.
the default position of seats these days literally hunches the neck forward.
my back starts seizing up into a knot from the moment I sit down, until the headrest can be moved back several inches.
@@wendigo1919 I actually have very long legs . If I have an overweight flight I prefer the isle so I can stretch my legs to the isle .
And it never bothers me if the person in front of me reclines the sit.
I just stretch my legs under the sit in front of me 🤷♀️
Never knew people did that with their feet! 😂
Gross 🤢
If I wanted to recline my seat, I would definitely ASK the person behind me if it's ok with them. I was raised in the Deep South (USA) where manners and etiquette are everything.
I have to agree Anna thank you for sharing this information looking forward to more❤
Very good points delivered very well. ❤
When someone decides to read in an overnight flight and decides to turn on their reading light
Don’t worry I recline immediately. And the person in front of me usually reclines their seat too and it’s not an issue. Also, nothing sucks more than being tall on a plane. When your knees hit the seat in front of you almost no matter what.
For some reason everyone never uses headphones and theyr always watching something on their phones on the airport lounge . Drives me insane
What about travellers from certain country/region who have a very strong axillary/shoulder smell coz of their spicy diet and one can't stant that smell ???!!!! an emergency perfume??? What do you suggest?
You just need to be tolerant of those travelers my dear. You yourself may have certain odors or aspects of your physical appearance that others find objectionable...
Oh I totally see where you’re coming from. Some smells just give me headaches and make me sneeze, and I’ve definitely had experiences on international flights where foreign scents, spices, and plain BO was really irritating. Hopefully a flight attendant can find another seat if it’s too bad :/
@@dogtrainingmexico I find it hard to be tolerate strong unpleasant smell for 9 hrs flight
@@angiea.i. I try that , but you know it's not always guaranteed
Bring a vial of essential oil or something you can smell to relieve your senses, apply to a hankerchief
11. dont 💩 on a flight. Do that at home before leaving.
12. Don’t do your hair or full skincare routine on a flight.
13. Make sure your body odor is in check. As someone who has a naturally strong scent, I understand this can be harder for some people. But, figure it out.
14. Being a messy eater or bringing food onto a flight that has a really strong smell.
I haven't flown in years & it appears the milieu has really deteriorated recently! I'd have to save & go business or first class--& then pray for the best!
You really should! Haven't flown in 8 years, and I'm really praying I can afford business class! Passengers have become increasingly rude and selfish
Yesssssss! It’s a lifesaver on many levels, particularly with my nerves, patience and affect! 😮😮😊😊🙏🏽🙏🏽
The purfume thing is so true!! The girl next to me on my last trip home from Japan to Australia was wearing a sweet sweet honey purfume and I had to talk to the flight attendant really quietly if there was a chance I could move (and I am a purfume lover people…) and I was so motion sick from it… but in the end, I just had to deal with it as it was a fairly full flight.
Really enjoy your advice and this may have been mentioned previously. But, I can’t go away without adding to the hair comments. People with long lair many times have a tendency to toss it over the back of the seat into someone’s tray. Once a ponytail hit me in the face and another in my food and yet another in my drink. Terrible!
It's like a lot of people nowadays are completely oblivious when it comes to etiquette. We have become a society of me, me, me, which is fine if you want to live that way i guess, but when you start infringing on other ppl's rights, that's a problem. I mean, grown adults who don't pick up their trash, & yes, i've had those inconsiderate ppl who recline the whole flight, without a care in the world, & some have the audacity to take off their shoes while doing it.....i could go on & on 😵💫
I stopped flying myself and my family in economy over this past year because of pretty much every reason you have listed in this video. Our society could give two craps about being civil anymore.
Between the chewing, perfume, women clacking their nails, limited space, etc I can’t do it anymore. First class/private or bust!
I also have decided just to limit my travel now.
Between seat kickers, recliners during dinner service, coughing the whole time - sniffing, nose blowing, I just cannot anymore.
I approve this video 100%❤
Headphones for your kid!!! Should be absolutely compulsory.
There was a baby sitting behind me coughing really badly the entire flight. I mean next stop hospital bad. It's been four weeks and
Horrible 😢😢
Keep masks with you ~ even though they’re a pain!
