Travelling etiquette:*

I think I have written quite a few posts about travelling and I am sure for the next few days there are not many travelling stories coming your way. There is this particular thought which came across my mind on my last travel.  It’s about conduct and modesty. There are many who lack proper behavior and decorum while they are travelling and even in public places. It gets super annoying especially when they are the learned and informed. Such things are not expected from the sophisticated lot. Here are some tips especially while you are going for the latest movie or flying to another city.

 

  1.  Don’t worry. The plane will not leave you stranded.  Definitely, you are going to board the flight and you will reach your destination safely. Why do you have to rush and hurry when you know that you have a security check again? As soon as the flight lands, people rush to the exit, the situation is the same and the sight seems so funny. There is something called a line and standing in a queue. Everyone is getting out of the aircraft.
  2. People can keep talking, the rule of boarding a flight is to switch your phone off but instead we update the person on the other side of what did we eat for breakfast, how many people are travelling? A common question – Is the flight full?? Does it really matter if it is or not. Similarly when you are watching a movie, the first thing is to put your phone on silent which loads of us forget. If the person next to you gets a call with the irritating ring tone and speaks in the loudest volume disturbing others – the most annoying habit ever!! Cut the crap, and just convey the important message.
  3. The next most irritating part is when travelers make themselves really comfortable. Each one has paid for tickets and you are not the only one, you don’t own the plane as you are taking an arm rest both the sides, spreading your legs in the most unusual manner. Imagine the other person squeezing in with no arm rest.
  4. Travelers should maintain hygiene throughout. At times those smelly socks will just ruin your journey. If it is a long travel and the rest rooms are dirtier, it becomes quite a pain.
  5.  Being a steward or an air hostess is a profession that lots of young people are being attracted to and it is quite a bonus when you love travelling. A next step towards revolutionizing minds of the older generation especially in the Asian societies. And as each career is respected, you need to give respect in order to gain respect.
  6. A proper eating habit needs to be adopted by quite a few of visitors without making the whole tray table messier.
  7. Travelers who have kids with them need to take special care; it becomes really disturbing when the kid is walking to and fro. All of us know how inquisitive kids are but if you are not a kid lover you are going to dread the entire trip. And also they need to be taught how to act in a crowd with discipline.
  8. There are appropriate places to keep the hand baggage and purses. It is not really necessary to put in each and every item in the overhead cabin. The luggage of each traveler needs to be placed. And there are times when the hard covered bags are kept below the seat and the others cannot sit at ease.
  9. Lastly when you are collecting your luggage, there are people who check each luggage and see if it is theirs. How on earth would you not know about your own suitcases? You should put a mark or something which sets them apart instead of going through all :*
