Things you should never do on an airplane

[jw5]

From remembering your passport to packing the right things, traveling can be stressful. That's why it's important to remember some small things that can make a huge difference in your flight and potentially your health, while also maintaining common courtesy towards fellow passengers.

Don't drink soda -

An increase in altitude may cause intestinal gas to expand up to 30%, so you might want to avoid consuming sodas. Keep your stomach settled with water.

Don't use the blankets and pillows -

Shockingly, those offered blankets and pillows don't get a thorough cleaning between flights. They're ideal places for germs and lice to camp out and spread from person to person, so do yourself a favor and skip them.

Most important: don't be rude to the people sitting next to you.

Don't sit your entire flight -

On an airplane, you're at a higher risk to develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a type of blood clot that usually forms in your legs. To help prevent it, walk around for a few minutes or stand up and stretch. Also, try to avoid tight clothing that could cut off circulation while in flight.

Don't wear contact lenses -

Opt to wear glasses in flight. The air in the cabin is very dry and can cause irritation to your eyes. And if you fall asleep, contacts not made for overnight wear can be especially irritating.

Absolutely, you're spot on about the importance of small things that can greatly impact your flight experience. When it comes to air travel, there are a few etiquette and health considerations to keep in mind.
Firstly, remember to be mindful of your seat recline. Avoid reclining your seat suddenly, especially during meal service, as it can be disruptive to the passenger behind you.
If you're looking for ways to enhance your air travel experience, you might want to explore options with the cheapest business class airlines. There are websites that offer great deals that can provide you with added comfort and amenities during your journey.

Don’t walk around barefoot -

Walking around barefoot on a flight is definitely a no-no, as the floor is full of germs, especially in the bathroom. The galley area can also be dangerous, with sharp glass on the floor that the flight attendants might have dropped.

You should never have diarrhea on an airplane. The watery sai will permeate though the seat and the sai smell will linger throughout the entire flight.

Don't neglect your skincare -

One study found that pilots flying for an hour got the same amount of radiation as if they had spent 20 minutes in a tanning bed. So just because you're inside doesn’t mean you can skip sunblock. You will also need to moisturize to prevent parched and itchy skin from the airplane’s pressurized air.

Don’t fall asleep against the window/wall -

You have no idea how many people have leaned against that wall, and even sneezed and coughed against it. It's a zone filled with germs, so avoid it to the max.

 

[jw5]

Don’t turn off the air vent over your seat -

It's recommended that the adjustable air over your seat should be set to medium or high so that any airborne germs can be blown away before entering your personal zone. This can also help protect your skin, so it doesn't dry out.

Don't use the blankets and pillows -

Shockingly, those offered blankets and pillows don't get a thorough cleaning between flights. They're ideal places for germs and lice to camp out and spread from person to person, so do yourself a favor and skip them.

Don’t try to cut the line when you’re disembarking -

It's understandable that you want to get off the plane as quickly as possible, but cutting the line is just rude. Besides that, allowing the people in the rows ahead of you to leave first will actually speed up the process for everyone.

 

[jw5]

Don’t touch the flush button in the bathroom -

The bathroom is a major place where germs hide out. To protect yourself, wash your hands thoroughly and use a paper towel to press the flush button.

 

[jw5]

Don't drink the coffee or tea -

You don’t want to drink anything that could possibly be made with the tap water from the plane. Opt instead for bottled water or another beverage from a sealed container. Also, caffeinated drinks are highly dehydrating, which is no-good when flying.

 

[jw5]

Don't fall asleep before takeoff -

If you fall asleep before takeoff, it will be harder for you to equalize the pressure in your ears. If you’re prone to flight-induced headaches, hold off until your ears pop.

Don’t recline your seat during take-off or landing -

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it's illegal to recline at the very beginning and end of flights. That’s because those are the most dangerous times during a flight. It should be as easy as possible to get out if you have to.
