Airplane Baby Diaper Etiquette
Here are a couple of tips to help make parent, baby and everyone else sharing the aircraft with you more comfortable and lessen the chance of outbursts.
Overhead Bin Behavior
The space in overhead compartments causes more commotion than Oprah trying to get through a crowded 757 aisle to some twice-baked potatoes.
Laws of the Lavatory
The lavatory seems to be an area of the aircraft where a person’s true breeding is revealed. Proper Jetiquette calls for every person to leave the lavatory at least slightly better if not drastically better than they found it. Paper towels must make it into the trash receptacle and if they reach the floor they must be retrieved.

Dear Sky Steward,
How about a little dialogue regarding class?

I won’t waste your time asking you whether or not their brag filled conversation was proper Jetiquette or not because I know the answer.

Pets on Planes: Jetiquette Travel Tips

Jetiquette Carry-On Luggage Faux Pas
When was the last time you boarded a plane and had an empty, hungry overhead compartment just waiting to swallow your roll-aboard? Can’t remember? Have you been hit by other passengers passing by with over-sized backpacks that are also slamming into the shoulders and heads of everyone else that has already taken their seats? Most [...]
Please Review the Jetiquette Briefing Card in Your Seatback Pocket

Close Your Legs in Center Seats!
With so many airlines like Virgin America, United, and JetBlue offering enhanced coach products that provide extra legroom, there is still the problem of BBS (Big Ball Syndrome) which causes many gentlemen to keep their legs spread wide apart.
