1. Be Punctual : Every time you
fly, reach the Airport early, check-in early and be at the Boarding Gate before
time. Web check-in can also save some of your time. Airlines love Punctual
Passengers. Remember, Airline Business is wholly dependent on Time and Cost.
Thus, don’t force the Airline to delay or leave you.
2. Follow Boarding Procedure:
Different Airlines have different Boarding Procedures. Follow the procedure and
board only when your seat number/Row is called. Jumping the line and disturbing
the queue is not liked by anyone. Similarly, don’t push or come in the way of
any passenger.
3. Manage Hand Luggage: Manage your
Hand Luggage properly. Open the overhead lockers and neatly put your bags in
them. Place them in an organised manner, so that the space is utilized well.
Make sure that they don’t fall off. Usually there is one locker for 2-3 seats.
So make sure your co-passenger has room for his/her bag.
4. Follow Safety Procedure: Follow
the Safety procedures demonstrated by the crew. It tells you about the Rules
and Regulations on-board. Listen carefully and read the safety card afterwards.
5. Don’t Jump/Dance: Don’t jump or
dance in the Flight. Jumping on the isle during Taxi, Take-off or Landing is a
punishable offence, and could attract hefty fines or imprisonment. Jumping or
dancing while the plane is airborne is not that unsafe, but considered as
notorious behavior. A complaint by co-passengers can book you for trouble.
6. Don’t smoke: Smoking is strictly
prohibited on Airplanes. It is a punishable offence. There are smoke detectors
in the entire cabin and lavatories.
7. Avoid Over drinking: Alcohol is
served free on all International routes. Make sure you don’t drink too much.
Too much alcohol can make you uncontrollable and notorious. It can be irritating
and harmful for fellow passengers. Limited consumption is good.
8. Talk softly : If you are travelling with family or friends,
be soft when you are talking to them. Speaking at a high pitch may irritate
other passengers. Similarly, be soft while talking on the phone.
9. Avoid Loudspeakers: Listening to
Music on Portable speakers should be avoided. It disturbs other passengers,
especially those who are sleeping. Use earphones to enjoy your Music/Media.
10. Don’t Run after Freebies:
Flights usually offer complimentary meals and drinks. Don’t act like a greedy
Monkey and ask for more. If you ask for an extra glass of drink or packet of
snacks, it’s fine. But don’t ask again and again. This behaviour is very creepy
and throws a wrong impression.
11. Don’t Abuse anyone: A flight is
a public place with hundreds of people. Don’t use abusive language on-board. If
someone is freaking you out, simply inform the crew. Similarly, avoid eve
teasing women. Misbehaving with women is a serious crime and can attract harsh
punishments.
12. Be Friendly: Be Friendly with
others and cooperate with them. For example: If you are on an aisle seat and
your co-passenger needs to get out, do it without getting irritated. Friendly
behaviour is loved by all, and who knows you may find some friends on-board.
13. Be Patient: Always be Patient on-board.
Whether it’s while Boarding or de-boarding or when you have asked for
something. Impatience may lead to quarrels.
14. Don’t spoil your surroundings:
Avoid spoiling your surroundings by throwing garbage, wrappers, etc. in the
isles or seats. Use dustbins and keep everything clean and tidy.

you should have to be a good passenger. These qualities make you a good Global
Citizen and save you from any trouble. If you have more to share, comment down
