With spring travel season here and summer right behind it, there are some very smart ways to make air travel a little more pleasant for everybody involved.
If you bring food on board — "and if you’re smart, you will," said Whitmore — "don’t bring anything with a highly identifiable or offensive smell," she added.If you can’t lift your own bag, stow it instead of carrying it on. "Don’t rely on others to risk pulling a muscle and lifting it for you," she also said.Wipe down the sink in the lavatory and leave it in better condition than you found it. "Don’t treat it like your own bathroom," said Whitmore.
Said Whitmore on this point, "Don’t assume you’re entitled to an upgrade just because you paid for a cheap seat and you want to sit with a family member in a more expensive seat."Every passenger has the right to recline his or her seat, said Whitmore. "That’s what the seats were designed to do," she said.
