If you’ve ever worked in the service industry, there’s a good chance you’re well aware of just how much a polite, appreciative customer can improve an entire shift, while a rude comment by a demanding guest can make you want to quit entirely. True, there’s something to be said for the adage “the customer is always right,” but approaching these exchanges from the position of said customer, why not do what we can to make things easier for those taking care of us?  While flying, in particular, there are a few simple ways to respect the cabin crew to help ensure a seamless trip for everyone on board.

Keep it Down

Wherever you choose to sit, be mindful of those around you and respect your fellow passengers by keeping your noise level to a minimum. Hold conversations with travel companions at a reasonable volume, and wear headphones when consuming media with audio while on board. This goes for children, as well. We all understand that little ones cry sometimes, but very few people over the age of 6 want to listen to Baby Shark on repeat—especially at 30,000 feet. 

Be Scent-sible 

Carrying heavy bags and running through the airport can quickly leave us smelling less than our best, so do what you can to take care of any unpalatable odors before sharing a cabin with 300 other passengers. Shower and apply deodorant ahead of leaving for the airport, and reapply or use wet wipes to freshen up before you board. With that, avoid using too much perfume, as well, as strong scents may trigger respiratory issues in passengers with allergies. 

Smooth Boarding

Do your part to ensure an efficient boarding experience for all by heading straight for your assigned seat. Don’t dawdle in the aisle, quickly stowing any carry-on bags without hogging space in the overhead bins. When it’s time to disembark, prevent congestion and minimize stress for the crew and other passengers by patiently waiting your turn.

Airline food has been the butt of many a joke since Jerry Seinfeld’s iconic sketch about the subject aired on Saturday Night Live in the early ’90s. As much as we like to laugh about it, the truth is that poor-quality food has the potential to make or break an air travel experience. While most plane food leaves much to be desired, some airlines take a more serious approach to their culinary offerings, providing passengers with delicious meals that wouldn’t be out of place at upscale restaurants. Read on to learn more about which ones.

Air France

If there’s one country whose airline we’d expect to have top-quality food, it’s France. In traditional French fashion, the ingredients used to prepare Air France meals are carefully selected and locally sourced, with Michelin-star chefs commissioned to oversee development and serve on designated “tasting committees.” And, because it’s France, all meals are served with a side of bread, cheese, and complimentary wine.

Emirates

Emirates is best-known for the distinct beige and red uniforms donned by its flight attendants, but its meal offerings are proof that the airline is committed to more than just fashion. All passengers are provided with multicourse meals inspired by the culinary traditions of the region, many of which also happen to be vegetarian. Those in first-class also have the option to enjoy bottomless champagne free of charge.

Japan Airlines

Travelers heading to or from the Land of the Rising Sun with Japan Airlines can look forward to enjoying thoughtfully-crafted meals designed to highlight the flavors of the country’s cuisine. Many are developed by celebrity chefs using local ingredients like fresh fish, seaweed, and seasonal vegetables, though business-class passengers have the option to choose a “Western-style” meal if they prefer. Japanese meals are served in bento boxes with a pair of chopsticks and a little red origami crane—a symbol of luck and hospitality.

Out of all of the different forms of travel, flying is statistically one of the safest. Airlines around the world are required to comply with strict regulations and maintenance standards designed to minimize risk, allowing the vast majority of flights to go off without a hitch. That said, as passengers, it’s still a good idea to do our part to stay safe and be prepared in the unlikely event an emergency does arise. Read on for some safety tips you may not be aware of.

Practice Safe Seating

Obviously, not everyone can sit near the back, but if flying makes you nervous and you don’t have to rush to catch a connection, know that the rear area of the plane is usually the safest in the event of a crash. During an impact, the nose of the aircraft will typically absorb the most force, and passengers seated near the tail tend to have higher survival rates than those in the front.

Stay Awake

As tempting as it might be to take a catnap during takeoff and landing, these are actually the phases of the flight when accidents are most likely to occur. By staying awake, you’ll be better prepared to respond quickly in the event of an emergency. With that, it’s also important to keep your shoes on, your seatbelt fastened, and your bag tucked neatly under the seat in front of you. 

Wear Close-Toed Shoes

Speaking of keeping your shoes on, close-toed styles are the best choice for both comfort and safety should you need to exit the plane at a moment’s notice. Depending on the nature of the emergency, it may be necessary to climb around certain objects, or there may be pieces of debris on the floor of the aircraft, and closed shoes will allow for easier movement as well as minimize the risk of injury.
