When you get on a plane you immediately become aware of how big the world is and how many people live in it. Air travel often brings people together from all over that world, confined in a shared space for hours at a time. And while the journey itself can be exciting, the experience is heavily influenced by who you travel with.
There are amazing travelers who make flights smooth and pleasant. They’re polite and follow etiquette, but inconsiderate behavior from others quickly turns a flight into a stressful place. From the moment of boarding to the landing, there are actions that can just mess with everyone’s comfort.
The flight crew works hard to maintain order, yet it just takes one person to make you feel annoyed for 10 hours straight. At the end of the day we all just want to get there safe without a headache, so a little kindness can go a long way.
