Compliance with the rules and etiquette on an airplane not only contributes to a more comfortable flight but also ensures safety for all passengers. Being polite and respectful to your neighbors improves the overall perception of the flight.

The travel industry is set to boom this year, with about 25% of Britons already thinking about booking a vacation. Flight attendants tell HuffPost how to make the flight comfortable for everyone without annoying your neighbor.

Rules of etiquette during the flight

1. Don't use FaceTime

When boarding an airplane, it's better to look for your seat than to say goodbye on the phone. It is important not to forget that there are other passengers behind you who need to access their seats.

Remember that the people around you also want to be comfortable during the flight. Excessive noise from phones and tablets should be avoided, especially when not using headphones. In the atmosphere of air transport, surrounded by passengers, it is important to respect everyone's personal space and comfort.

2. Do not take off your shoes

Keep in mind that the cabin floor is not a clean place, and wearing shoes on a flight is a smart idea. According to the stewards, airplanes, especially on long-haul flights, are real "microbial" playgrounds, and you shouldn't go barefoot.

Instead of relying on disposable flip-flops, we recommend that you bring comfortable shoes that are suitable for sitting in.

3. Respect the space of your fellow travelers

Greet your neighbour in a friendly manner, giving them space to decide if they want to talk. Many people appreciate silence on a flight if they are going through a challenging experience. Remember that for many passengers, flying is a triggering moment, and around 21 million Britons have a fear of flying.

Respect personal space, and if you feel that the person you are talking to prefers to be quiet, politely give way.

4. Be careful when reclining a chair

Learn how to smooth out potential misunderstandings on a flight, especially when it comes to reclining your seat. Make sure to warn the passenger behind you before reclining your seat abruptly to avoid accidents with their belongings and to create a comfortable environment for both. In the end, courtesy and foresight can make flying more enjoyable for everyone.

5. Don't argue about armrests

Remember that the middle seat on an airplane often becomes a kind of "consolation prize" for having to sit between two passengers. Do your part to improve this experience by giving your neighbor in the middle both armrests. This simple gesture can go a long way toward creating a more comfortable experience for everyone on the plane.
