Airplane Etiquette

4. always try and wait until the very last minute to board the plane. By the time you get on, everyone has sat down and you can easily move around the cabin and find your seat without climbing over bodies and people hitting you in the face with their elbows as they remove their outer wear...

I used to be one of those people until I decided that I was never, ever, going to send another suitcase through baggage claim. I have become a very proficient packer (I travel 2-3 times a month). In order to make sure you have overhead space for your carry-ons, you need to be one of the first on board, or you'll be out of luck and will have to check your bag anyway.

I hate that too if they put their seats back so I don't have anymore space. Extremely rude!!!! Next time I fly I will be 4 months pregnant which gives me enough reason to speak up and make them sit straight like everyone else... It is so rude to move the seat back in economy class - purely egoistic and so inconsiderate!

I look behind me. If the guy (or girl) behind me has his seat back I put mine back and vice versa.

I dont see why being 4 months pregnant gives you reason to complain about someone putting their seat back and I am sorry but if you said to me "put your seat up I am pregnant" my reply would be and?? if you dont like being in a seat where you feel you dont have enough room then pay the extra for more room.... if I am on a long flight and I wish to take a nap then I put my seat back, thats what it is there for.... I dont keep it back when meals are being served but otherwise its my seat and I have paid to be comfortable...
