You’ve heard of the rules on the ground, but there are rules in the air too. While there is no handbook per sé, there is a certain etiquette about how to act on a plane. 1,000 people were surveyed by Kayak to share their thoughts on onboard behavior.
Feet on the Ground, Please
We know, plane seats are not the most comfortable. You may find yourself twisting and squirming to find a position that works, but don’t put your feet up on the seat in front of you. 68% of respondents are against the practise, while a further 24% believe that your socks should stay on at all times.
No Phone Zone
Humans are addicted to their phones, so the desire to turn yours on as soon as you land is understandable. That said, 69% of passengers find it rude to make phone calls between landing and leaving the plane.
Be Kind, Recline
Reclining your plane seat is one of the most controversial topics. There have actually been court cases about it. Overall, 88% of people feel that reclining is okay to do, while a third believe that it should only be done in the case of a long or overnight flight.
