I always say hello and introduce myself to the people sitting next to me. It's just polite and makes the flight much more pleasant for everyone involved.
Don't do that in Europe, especially Nordic countries. That is just not done, and will make people uncomfortable. Might think you are a missionary😂.
@@shinnam I am Swiss and speak 6 languages. If you speak to people in their local language, you can quickly start a conversation. And the Swiss are mostly welcome because we are neutral. So I've never had any problems, especially not in Europe. 😉
A young man's phone dropped on my head when he was trying to get it from the overhead cargo. It was painful. He apologized but the morale of the story is do not put electronics you intend to use on the overhead compartment.
I usually fly Southwest and if I’m at the front of the plane and need to go to the bathroom, I’ll go use the one in the back to get my legs moving just a bit.
I will be doing that on my next trip
I usually wear a diaper so I don’t have to get up, but now I’ll get up and walk to the back of the plane…and change my diaper. 😕
My husband ended up blood clot from flying. It was discovered because of a another medical condition, so they were able to do something about the clot before it became a more serious medical problem.
Glad to hear they caught it early! Safe travels, Karen!
Only eleven haha!!!??How about (1)-Being civil to your fellow passengers period.(2)Being spatially aware and cognisant of you and fellow pssengers personal space.(3)Being POLITE
to fellow passengers and Flight Crew.(4)Being helpful to all aboard-(5) having fun in a controled manner-haha .Happy trails kids.
Thanks for adding to the list! Happy travels!
Really? The first 4 need to be stated? Where I come from this is everyday normal behaviour. 🇨🇦
I once saw someone walk down the airplane aisle in their bare feet. Eck! I would have to dip my feet in acid to make sure they were clean after that.
Taking something from the food cart is just rude period. The other reasons just making it worse if you happen to do this. It would probably be the equivalent to grabbing the plate from the wait staff at a restaurant when they arrive to bring you your food.
For the extra items you can use on the plane (pillows, blankets and in some cases, headphones) it's best to just bring these yourself and use your own. At least that way you know t hat it's clean and has been cleaned. However this being said, I'm sure they factor in that half the blankets and pillows loaned out on planes may become damaged or lost (stolen, etc) and they factor this into the pricing, so accidentally taking one just means the airline probably "lost" $5 but no big deal (but again, I'm not saying you should take these items or promoting stealing, just that they know that over time they disappear or need to be discarded and plan as such). Same for hotel rooms as it relates to things like soaps and shampoos (which people often take although many now are using the built-in dispensers to discourage this).
My favorite (and I think you may have mentioned it once or twice in previous videos) was when a pilot on a Delta flight made a comment that "his panel indicates that not all seatbelts are fastened" and that we couldn't push back from the gate until theywere" and you hear like a dozen clicks and then he's like "thank you" (even though this was all a lie and he was just checking/reminding people).
Regulations may varying in different countries, but in BC Canada where I live, since covid, even unused hotel soaps and other complementary items must be discarded. A Victoria charity called Soap for Hope now collects those empties, sanitizes and refills them for distribution to the homeless, women's shelters and the like. These they distribute these in our province as well as Alberta, the one next door. They also handle other items the hotel industry must refresh over time like linens and discard such as lost and found stuff, thus keeping tons of high quality useable goods out of the landfill. An amazing model that ought to be adopted in many more places.
Thanks Megan - great advice, as always. One that I can add: Ensure your water bottle is secure before takeoff. My last flight, it came loose from my backpack pocket and flew down the aisle to the back of the plane with a clanging noice (it's metal). Obviously, I had to wait until the seatbelt sign was off after take-off. I got up and asked if anyone had seen it. One man indicated he had tried to catch it as it flew by but missed. The flight attendant at the back had it and gave it back to me. Luckily, it had not hit any people. Needless to say, it was INSIDE the backpack on the way home. Although it's the first time that had ever happened and I have used the same backpack for travel for years, I am now wary of having the bottle just in the backpack side pocket on takeoff!
Thanks for sharing that! I can see how that could happen but would never have thought about it! Safe travels!
I am an aisle person and I always speak to the person sitting next to me. If we're going to be best friends for the next 4 hours, it's nice to at least be able to make polite conversation.
And yes. I have had 2 DVTs. That is why I choose an aisle seat. I always get up and walk around at least once an hour, per my doctor's advice. If the seat belt sign is on, I can stretch my leg a little bit more than if i were in a window seat.
Thanks for watching! Safe travels!
I prefer an aisle seat and have no problem being woken up by the other people in my row. I like the idea of telling them that and I’ll do so in future. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I say hello to my fellow seat mates and let them know im frinedly and just nudge me when they need to exit. Also prefer the aisle so i dont have to ask anyone to use the restroom lol
About the getting up during a flight! I recently had a flight where I was in the window seat with an obese individual in the middle and an older gentleman on the end. I was so smooshed in I couldn’t move the whole flight and ended up with major pain after. The large guy kept falling asleep on me and I am a thiner person that hates confrontation so I basically endured. Luckily this was the shorter leg on a longer flight and the second leg ( longer part) I had a middle seat open but I was in so much discomfort I was miserable the entire 7 hours. Honestly I think if it were to happen again I wouldn’t hesitate to see if I could get another seat. In fact after that I changed all my return seats to the aisle and will never pick a window or middle seat again. One thing I learned about having the aisle seat is I basically get up whenever I darn well feel like it and don’t have to bother anyone 😂😂
Aisle is good, except on some modern airlines, seat are so narrow that like third of me hangs into the aisle itself. Especially if middle seat person has also some width
I always pay an extra few bucks and select an aisle seat. Heaven. The window seat is good if you are flying with family. Then the entire row is yours.
The first time I flew on my own, I apologized to my seat mate ahead of time if I encroach on their space since I'm plus sized.
Enjoyed the video Megan. I had the misfortune to be seated next to someone with questionable personal hygiene on one flight and on another being seated behind a couple who didn't quite 'go all the way' but were getting pretty close.
Thanks! Two not so pleasant flights for you!
hopefully a night flight ...
I'm usually on shorts flights, but even then I'm trying to exercise my legs, bouncing them up and down, stretching, flexing them, whatever it takes to keep them moving and feeling ok. If it was a long flight I'd seriously consider getting and walking down the aisle. I'm a stickler when it comes to the seatbelt, it's on and clipped as long as I'm on the plane. I don't want to be one of those hitting the ceiling that you always hear about when a plane hits unexpected turbulence. Nice video, all good points!
Was wearing a groove in the sky between US and UK for a couple of decades-saw allsorts of strange behaviour-haha!!!Used to fly the same route regularly so became somewhat friendly with flight crew(s)-would bring them gifts(flowers/chocolate etc)-Anyway -was leaving for UK
one evening out of Detroit to London .purchased some Gadiva Chocolate bars for flight crew.
And yes I'm very aware of Customs regulations,mattters of Soverinety and flight crew accepting food items/gifts from passengers etc.Gave a couple of bars to flight attendants in my cabin(Coach that nite)-They left then on the galley counter for later-BINGO passenger took them anyway!!!EVEN IN FIRST CLASS WE DID NOT SERVE CHOCOLATE OF THIS QUALITY-
I gave them more -enjoy
Thank you Megan! 😊
You're so welcome!
Yes. I usually say hello.
That's nice! Happy travels!
Always learn something from your videos. THANKS!
My pleasure! Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the info! You saved me from many headaches
You are welcome! Happy travels, Brayan!
Good call on the dvt/pe. I flew from Sydney to YOW. With stop in Vancouver, where my healed broken ankle was rebroke. Went to emergency and mentioned to doc about rebrake and not breathing well. He tested me and told me go to hospital not home. I guess that i was about 2 hrs from PE blockage. Since then i use Rx compression socks, stretch legs in seat and walk around plane as much as possible.
Good to hear you were ok following that experience! Safe travels!
Great tips! Thanks again for posting another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for watching, Omar!
These days , seems nothing surprises me. Thank you Megan for informing so many others. Keep up the great work! Thank you !
You are so welcome! Good to know you enjoy the videos!
Thanks so much for this list of airplane no - go's.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
In May, my wife and I will be flying from Boston to London in May. I'm 62 years old. My kidney doc (I only have one kidney) and oncologist highly recommended compression socks for me. I'm a bit overweight also. 5'7 265 lbs. I'm going to try and get an aisle seat if possible and get up as much as possible during the flight. The flight is approximately 6.5 hours from Boston's Logan International Airport to London's Heathrow.
Follow what your doctor says! Compression socks and walking around when possible are simple things we can do that can make a big difference! Safe travels and have an amazing trip!
Hi Megan, great tips as always. It’s really amazing the things that passengers do and think they’re OK doing them. My biggest pet peeve is people who use the seat back pocket for a trash can, just disgusting. OK, I have another, I was on a flight from Seoul to NYC and the condition of the plane as I deplaned in NYC was unbelievable, you would’ve thought a tornado came through. There were blankets and eye-masks and pillows and garbage all over the floor. Makes you wonder what these people’s homes looked like. Well, that’s my rant for today. Have a wonderful day 🤗
In regards to the last tip, also something that I wish more people thought of is to wear compression stockings when flying. Even if for a short flight. This tip came from a very well known world renowned doctor. Ever since whether my flight is an hour or 14 hours, I am sure to wear compression socks when I fly as well as be sure to get up and walk and flex my feet doing the abc's to also help the blood flow.
I agree! Thanks for sharing!
Great topic and video!The big metal cups can get you stopped in security. They will let it through of course. What is common sense to some isn't the same for others. I was on a 14.5 hour flight in an economy seat last week. The person next to me had a weird issue with food. They started sneezing every time the food was delivered.
I love this channel. I love your voice.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video, Megan. I once, on an international flight at an overnight connection, have a flight attendant toss me a blanket while I was seated for my ten hour layover. I left the blanket on the seat when I was through with it. Ana no one asked me to watch their belongings during that 10 hour span.
Great tips! No more spilling drinks for me.
Megan you are a national treasure! Keep on informing us 😊
Thank you! Will do!
No I do not say hi to seat mate. Best that way just in case they happen to be talkative. I like it quiet. What about-never pull on the seat in front of you to get up., Never tap on the touch screen on the seat back like a wood pecker, never touch others bags while rumbling through the overhead, never plow through the back seat pocket in front of you (passenger in seat can feel it). for large people, never walk wide, meaning walk sideways through the aisle.
What about-never pull on the seat in front of you to get up. ? I cannot get from modern seat otherwise, so, sorry
I flew home from Europe seated in the middle section in the middle of a family of 12 doing an around-the-world trip. The kids used the armrests to walk across all 5 seats - right over me!
ouch
Oh I would not have appreciated that! I would have asked for a different seat!
Just found your channel! Also, I love seeing your adorable DOG!!
Thank you!! 😊 Hope to see you back here!
Here are some more:
1. Don't pack or unpack your luggage while getting on or off the plane.
2. When exiting the plane, don't wait for people in front who are still seated and not ready to exit - just keep going.
3. This one should be obvious by now: Don't make any jokes about bombs or weapons.
Long flight (Milan to NYC) the couple in front of us needed a bag of ice for her medication. However, the bag was never securred, ice melted and my personal bag which was under the seat was soaked. Luckily my bag was waterproof, the bag seeped everywhere. Also said couple got too amorous. Not a wonderful flight.
#10 - Excellent 😂
Always love your videos! Always stop by and update myself before a trip, so thank you. Shout out to Ottawa (where i grew up).
Quick question for you. Near the end you spoke about moving around during a long flight. Define ... long?
Welcome to the channel! Great to hear you enjoy watching! Moving around every 2 hours is a good rule regardless of the length of your flight! Safe travels!
Thanks for the quick reply.
Just suggested you to my boss, to check out as he is travelling soon. Keep up the good work and thanks!@@PortableProfessional
Love your videos they’re wonderful, my first time flying will be April 24 of this year going to San Francisco California. Never flown in my life very excited but nervous. 6:01
How exciting for you! Enjoy your flight and a have a great trip!
DVT is definitely a concern for geezers like me so I make sure to move my legs while I’m seated and I take some aspirin before my flight because I heard that helps. So far so good. Thanks Megan for your videos.
You're welcome, Dave! Compression socks are another preventative measure. Safe travels!
Agreed.......
Many yearly UK flights to Washington DC and I as a 70 year old gent had never gotten up, big bladder!
Last flight however, first day of our holiday brought painful chest pains which eventually were found to be two lung blood clots. Blood thinners for a year so far but on my next flight I will certainly be up and down that plane....... my wife will make sure.
We always wear compression socks but yes, lack of movement isn't good!
I'm British and my only Transatlantic trip so far came just after there had been some post flight DVT cases in the news here. Although I was only 33 I made sure that I got up 4 times during my London to Calgary flight.
Nice video, Megan! I always like to carry around alcohol wipes to disinfect my seat area myself - I mean I took about 200 flights last year and I can't remember the time I boarded a truly spotless plane. 🤣
Wow, 200 flights!! Thanks for watching, David!
I am new to your videos and love them. I haven't been on a plane since I was 12. I am planning a trip with my 7 year old Granddaughter from Toronto to London England and wonder if you might have a list of what to pack in carry on bags.
so, funny story, I was going on a Frontier flight and our plane was delayed as the plane we were supposed to be on got stuck in New York (I was in Orlando) and they finally got a reserve plane ready to go for our flight to St. Louis. So I get my new ticket and it turns out, I am in the front seat, and as I am walking down the corridor I say "I'm riding shotgun" and then realize the 2nd time I say that that saying "gun" in any context is a BIG NO NO on a plane. Luckily no one commented, no one questioned me about it, and I got to St. Louis OK but still, it was a bit embarrassing thinking back on it on something that COULD have gotten me into some serious trouble if someone heard me say that out of context (where someone thought I might have a "shotgun" as opposed to me just referring to having the front seat).
5:18 - kindly ask flight attendants for a mug is a perfect way to get it legally. Some airlines should sell their stuff in the shop as it is nice and has the perfect sizes.
On overseas flights they generally run out of liquor for coach within the first half hour of a 13 hour flight. I always carry a couple of my own. As long as you don’t get drunk they pretend they didn’t notice. It may be illegal, but the cheap airlines should provide the service they charge extra for in comfort seats instead of vilifying the passengers.
Awesome channel Megan! Wonderful tips! I'd like to see a video regarding the safety of drinking coffee on the aircraft. Is ordering coffee on the flight safe? I've heard some reports that water used on the flight might have bacteria. Curious to hear your feedback:)
I always thought the blankets and headphones (the cheap ones) were single use only. Thanks for letting us know!
It can change depending on the airline but best not to assume they are free!
Yeah...... KLM would always come around with a basket to collect the cheap headphones at the end of a flight and I could never see the blankets and pillows as single use.
@@fabianmckenna8197 Aren't the headphones disposable? The wires come too tight when you open them, they are clearly not reused, or am I missing something? Plus they are dollar store grade. The blankets and pillows I get, of course.
I took my first flight a couple of months ago on a small CRJ200 with a very narrow aisle and a guy had his legs blocking the aisle, I motioned for him to move them, got ignored so I stepped on his foot. I weigh 250 lbs, he got the idea.
One thing I found in the seat pocket was a used airsick bag. Not pleasant. One fun fact is that after the smoking ban, airlines turned up air re-cycling. [This is not an "argument for smoking on planes! ]. This means that now far less fresh, filtered and air-conditioned air is injected into the cabin. It saves energy. Adult humans emit digestive gases at the average rate of 2 liters per day. On a long-haul flight that has 400 passengers, that means about 800 liters of fart can be breathed in, most of it before it was processed by the filters and air conditioning. The effect is more noticeable in "Sardine Class" especially if there is a baby or a vomiting passenger close by. And of course, the joys of some "perfect" child kicking the back of your seat for entertainment. Economy seats are designed for spinal torture. The "romance" of air travel, you have gotta love it! :-)
Flying makes people more gassy too so the effect might be much worse
Definitely say hello!
Nice! Thanks for watching, Pam!
I recently took a flight from Paris to Dakar in premium economy and not only did the passenger sat next to me take his blanket with him, he picked mine up too! 😀
Many of these on-board rules were frequently winked-at in the past, but since 9/11 airlines have gone troopship on us PAX and will call ahead for "escort" on deplaning with little provocation. I like Megan's idea about establishing a friendly contact with seatmates. You don't have to become their BFF, but a quick hello and two-sentence intro can get you a lot more common courtesy during the flight. I can't imagine thinking it's OK to finger an airline blanket, and leave the seatbelt on - I have been in "elevator" turbulence on flights that even left the Captain coming back on the PA with a quiver in his voice (South China Sea is really bad about this). Accept the idea that you need to smile, stay seated and behave on the plane - you're in close quarters in public and in very controlled environment, not home on your couch. For most people, this isn't a problem ...
Got a family member traveling on a 14-hour flight next month and will remind them about the walking to keep blood moving and to prevent clots thing. I am also flying soon and am hopeful I’m not in an aisle seat on the journey where I have been given an assigned seat.
Thanks for watching, Joanne! Safe travels!
Another " Don't do " is yoga, in 2017 I was on a flight to Dubai from Australia when a woman decided to do her morning yoga routine blocking the isle and would not allow anyone to pass to use the toilet.
After many threats by the aircrew she returned to her seat.
I know people have a routine they follow everyday but 1 day of no yoga won't kill her.
Wow. Crazy.
Can't she just do her yoga at the hotel?
@@BgirlAxe common sense is not that common 🙄.
Oh gee! I’ve taken blankets to use on the next leg. ❤
I always say Hi to my seatmates. It's just good manners. I've found that quite a few business types won't acknowledge me. ("I"m sooo important.") But at least I did the courteous thing!
Thanks for the insightful video, Megan 👍
On one of my last flights, I was seated in the middle seat 🙁
One of the guys sitting beside me was passing silent and very stinky gas. I wanted to throw up. 🤢
I kept my mask on for the duration of the 3 hour flight. But, how rude!
Fun fact : flying makes you more gassy and it can be very painful to hold it in. So sorry you had to deal with that
Thank you for info I keep my seat on whole time I'm on plane
You're welcome! Safe travels, Phyllis!
@@PortableProfessional Thank you
Did the alcohol rule come about recently? About ten years ago my seatmate brought a bunch of those mini-bottles on board and shared them with me. The steward didn't seem to care, he just checked to see if we were sober and then brought us mixers.
I always say hello to seat mates.
We’re planning to visit Thailand for first time in June. Is it better to get package deal with Expedia? Help please!
Hard question! It really depends on what type of travel you enjoy most! I suggest looking at what some package deals include and see if they fit the type of trip you are looking for vs booking your own itinerary. Have fun researching and planning your trip!
I'm a bigger guy (bodybuilder) so I always try to fly economy plus so my shoulders don't protrude into the isle but sometimes it's unavoidable.
Love your channel. You are fun to watch. Total eye candy. Can’t wait to talk to you on the plane
I have to confess to being amused when I see passengers bounce off of the overhead because their belt was unfastened.
She has such a cute smile.
If you see your friend Jack; do not stand up and yell: “Hi Jack!”
Compression stockings
Always a good choice!
In flights to Asia, one can get hot water easily. I usually take some cup noodles. I have long legs, so I use this advantage and climb over, but first I get Ok from other passengers. So, that he/she are not surprised what I am doing. Usually they are ok, because they see that this guy has skills of climbing over airplane chairs.
Yes, intimacy on a plane is a definite No! Unlessssss, the flight attendant initiates it. And she can be quiet.
I have used my own carry on alcohol on long flights in the past. Overnight flights work best.
I think that for the ones that wear strong or too much cologne or have poor hygiene, it’s ok if they make you sick to just vomit on them-then tell them what made you sick so maybe they will consider others when flying.
By what legal aagument is drinking my own alcohol illegal??
Please elaborate, I'm curious and doubtfull!
It's an FAA regulation.
FAA 😂😂😂 so it is so in the US, ok. Most of us aren't though 😉
I only been on short flights
1: Cheaper too, well cheaper on flight day unless your flying budget.
This video should be mandatory watching for all flyers
Thanks! So glad you liked it!
What can you do if the person sitting next to you has a strong smell due to bad hygiene?
It appears as though you are a swimmer because your shoulders are very well developed as are your biceps. This is a look of a person who swims competitively or swims very regularly. It’s a great look so don’t change anything! God, I love your voice!
is that a rempham star? or the star of david
My earbuds will now stay in my bag where they belong
Stretch, stand up, walk around (when it's safe) - DVTs are no fun.
Great advice! Thanks for watching!
I always say hello to my fellow travelers .
What about if you ask the flight attendant if you can bring a blanket home? Because I have asked in several flights, and the flight attendants ok'ed it
I think that would be fine!
Some people just don't understand plane etiquette
Hah! I always let the people outside of me that it is fine to tap me on the shoulder to get our 😀
I might be childish but I prefer window seats. I like watching landscapes and clouds. I also prefer only having to deal with people on one side. turbulence can be fun. I once rode a small plane from Boston to New York and it was like a roller coaster.
Nothing wrong with enjoying the view! Happy travels!
Why is it illegal to consume your own alcohol on a flight. In which country?, the departure country or the arriving country? I accept that consuming alcohol irresponsibly on a flight is not recommended, but this is the first time I have heard that it is illegal to consume your own beverages on a flight, presuming of course that you do so responsibly.
Actually, it is almost always announced before departure, together with no-smoking
@@dmitripogosian5084 I have never heard it announced that it is illegal. What country are you referring to?
@@barrylenihan8032 Well, I can't vouch they said illegal or forbidden, but I am pretty sure they said that on my recent flights from Canada to Mexico and back
@@dmitripogosian5084 I live in Europe and have never heard of any such law. Given that the video featured a clip of Wizz Air, I presumed the poster was referring to Europe and that raised my curiosity.
Again, I have never seen nor heard of a passenger being arrested on arrival simply for consuming their own alcohol on a flight. Yes, I have heard of it for passengers being disruptive but that is a separate issue.
@@barrylenihan8032 I'll double check with my wife, but I am pretty sure I heard that on Air Canada flight in December between Montreal and Paris as well. They always say 'even purchased in duty free shops'. On domestic Canadian flight I do not remember this, but you can't buy alcohol airside in domestic Canadian terminals, and can't get it through security either, so it is kind of moot.
Ethiopian Airlines passengers made it a habit to take steal headphones and blankets until the Airline started to be serious and passengers feared the consequences it comes with!
HYGIENE!!!...My flight from CLT to JFK 2019 Dec., window seat, next to me was a burly fellow with all new gadgets(lap-top/cell phone/Beat hp) with all these he couldn't buy water and soap?...🤢🤬
And people, easy on the purfume and cologne, you and some people might love it but for some it makes them nauseous.
Short flight, I may put up with it begrudgingly, but no way on a long-haul flight! What can we do?
nauseous is minor, alergic is an issue
I don’t drink alcoholic drinks on planes
Good decision! Safe travels!
Oh you are too nice to tell your seatmate it is ok to give you a nudge to move
Guess I would rather give them some space than have them land in my lap!😂
@@PortableProfessional wouldn't be too bad if it's a cute guy, lol
Meagan seems like the girl that always reminds the teacher about giving homework. 😒
I was actually wondering, what happens it you buy a full size bottle of booze from a shop in the airport and take it on the plane? I assumed that they would not let you keep it with you for the very reason of the person opening it and drinking it.
...what? Buying bottles of alcohol from duty free shops in airports is totally standard and common. Imagine how much extra time and work you'd be creating for the staff by making them responsible for every passengers' duty free alcohol purchases.
What they usually do if you're shopping airside is seal the alcohol in a bag, which you're not supposed to open (but totally can) on the plane.
I have never understood why people would choose NOT to fasten their seatbelts! OK, if you want to be an arrogant non-rule-follower, good for you……but I don’t want your bloody, broken body falling on me during or after turbulence!
Especially as it's only a lap belt. It's not like it's a four point one used by racing drivers.
I'm kind of surprised that you even have to mention number 10.
I don't, speak if the passenger appears aloof and unfriendly.
Nice tips, but many of them assume far too much civility and consideration on the part of fellow PAX that you cannot rely on. Having said that, you can set a better example and retain your dignity, even if others cannot seem to understand that they are in public and should behave.
If you paid for the blanket, it becomes your property. Take it with you.
