Air
travel is a quick way to get from point A to point B. As more Americans board
flights for vacation this summer, Forbes Living offers some tips to keep air
travel safe.
Does
it seem like the space in the airline’s cabin has become smaller? Well, it is.
Airlines are making sure they fit as many people onto the plane as possible.
More luggage is being brought on board because travelers do not want to spend
the money on checking bags. All of this means there is less breathing space.
Make your flight more comfortable with a few tips to keep calm when things get
a little out of hand.
As
a passenger walks the aisle to find their seat, they inadvertently bump the back
of your head with their carry-on bag. Instead of scowling at them, duck when
you see someone coming with a large bag on their shoulder.
The
person beside you accidently spills some of their drink on you. Turbulence
happens. Clumsiness happens. Offer to help them clean it up and accept the apology.
Someone
refuses to turn off their digital device when asked. Ring the call button and
mention it to the flight attendants. There is no sense making a stubborn person
mad by confronting them.
The
person in front of you reclines their seat so that your tray table jams into
your stomach. There is not much to do for this other than possibly closing the
tray table. Passengers will usually let you know in no uncertain terms that
they have a right to recline. If it’s too difficult to manage, ask if you can
change your seat.
The
Forbes Living talk show realizes that air travel can be fun and also a people
challenge. Go with the flow, avoid
drinking alcohol on the flight and
arrive without incident.
