How to behave on an airplane during night flights: etiquette rules
Travel experts have published a list of etiquette rules for airplane passengers traveling on night flights.
It's no secret that airplane etiquette has been a topic of discussion in recent months. Many of these rules are rather unspoken, but mandatory if you don't want to look in a bad light, reports the Daily Mail.
Make respectful use of available seats
Many vacationers are excited at the prospect of flying on night flights, which can often mean they are less crowded.
As a result, some lucky passengers may take an entire row to themselves, but it's important to be respectful. First of all, you should ask the flight attendants for permission to change seats.
This is because some seats are left empty for special reasons, such as to allow flight attendants quick access during sudden turbulence or to provide extra space during a medical emergency.
Be considerate of those who are trying to sleep
Even if you don't want to sleep on your red-eye flight, others may want to – and passengers need to be aware of what's happening on board.
To do this, it's best to dim the lights on your laptops or built-in entertainment screens and try to be as quiet as possible.
Dress appropriately
Experts emphasize that pajamas are not acceptable even during night flights. Instead, you should wear leisure or sportswear on the plane - think leggings and sweatshirts.
Avoid snacks with a strong odor
A rule that applies to airplane passengers both day and night is to avoid eating spicy snacks. Popular delicacies to avoid because they have an unpleasant odor include tuna, sauerkraut, and eggs.
Don't spend too much time in the toilet
No matter what kind of bedtime rituals you do at home in the bathroom and for how long, you should get everything done as quickly as possible on the plane because other passengers need to use the restroom as well.
Ignore snorers
Even if it annoys you terribly, be patient and show maximum respect for such people. Snoring is often caused by health problems, and passengers have no control over it.
