Jetiquette with The Sky Steward

Dear Sky Steward,

I was on a flight from Las Vegas to Charlotte and seated next to an obnoxiously loud couple. 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. What I do need help with is the fact that the wife had her pedicure starved, ashy feet propped up high on the seat-back of the forward row. As I watched the in-flight [...]

The Sky Steward has been thumbing through letter after letter received from passengers and flight crew members describing their experiences while sharing the first class cabin with some of the most well know celebrities. Box office triumph and  TV rating success does not necessarily translate into high levels of JQ; Jetiquette Intelligence. But don’t lose hope flying angels! There are plenty of personalities that exhibit flawless Jetiquette when they occasionally descend to traveling via commercial [...]

Dear Sky Steward,

There are so many posts on your blog about things that passengers do to annoy other passengers. I want to make mention of the fact that I have experienced crew members that happen to be a little low on “Jetiquette”. Am I the only one?

When passengers begin trickling into the terminal from a  transcontinental flight, you can bet on spotting at least one recognizable celebrity behind their Foster Grants. If you need some help, just look for all of the people being met by special services personnel or porters at the gate. They look so glamorous as they’re escorted through the concourse at JFK or LAX, but just how enchanting were they during the flight? I’ll share some of [...]

Through the years as I’ve observed passengers while pushing a trolley or flying as a passenger myself, I’ve come to accept that I’ve been given a gift (or should I say a curse) of being able to spot both fantastic and abysmal Jetiquette even through the cabin divider. Unfortunately I cannot turn it off since it is literally a sixth sense. Many times, I have to share my amazement at some of the infractions I [...]

Dear Sky Steward,

I was recently flying from Dallas, Texas to Seattle, WA on an MD-80. I was seated in a window seat on the left side which has two seats together. A guy sat next to me and my first indication that I was in for it was that he got on the cell phone and started chatting away at a moderately high volume to his romantic interest. The fun was only just [...]

Jetiquette explained along with tips on summer travel and more! Have you even had someone on your plane take an entire overhead bin?

Dear Sky Steward,

I am planning on traveling with my toy poodle in the next month and then periodically for the rest of the year. To be completely honest, I am a bit nervous about it. What do airlines charge for pets to travel and what are the policies? BTW, the last time I traveled with my pet, I was barked at by a flight attendant because I took my pet out for a little [...]

Jetiquette®…not just for private jets anymore

As the summer travel season approaches; airports and airlines are preparing for packed terminals and planes as business and leisure travelers fill seats,  rub elbows and possibly lose patience. Tensions will undoubtedly run high, unless of course everyone decides to make the Jetiquette Pledge. Maybe you’ve heard of Oprah’s No-Phone-Zone-Pledge to encourage distraction-free driving by avoiding cell phone use when behind the wheel? It’s a good idea!

Well, we’ve [...]
