One of my biggest pet peeves in public transport and planes is people calling on speakerphone and watching video's. I fantasize about throwing their phone out the door 😂
-
Gate lice are the equivalent of the subway riders trying to board before the arrivals get out ..
-
Always show up early for check in. And don't start arguing with gate agents
-
If you want to sit next to your family, friends etc. buy seats next to each other! Don't ask strangers to change seats with you on a plane.
-
Sorry Mark! I get up when I can after landing...my knee gets stiff and I can't wait to get off that thing!
-
I hate traveling. I mean, I love going to places, I just hate the "getting there" part. The luggage, the waiting around, the people, the sitting on a plane for hours, the airports in general, all that makes me want to stay home instead.
-
I could write a very interesting book on the dramas and tribulations i have seen at airports in my near 60 years of travelling.
-
I work as a Gate Controller for one of the major airlines here in Canada. All great advice! I’d also add, please have your ID and boarding pass in hand when approaching the podium. Don’t wait until you’re first in line and then decide when you’re face-to-face with me to only then start going through your purse or backpack to find your passport and boarding pass.
-
I'm totally a stand when I can man. My legs are usually numb by the time we land and all I'm thinking about is standing. I go out of my way to help other people get their stuff down but I'm not in a rush. Just uncomfortable.
-
One or two things I'll add is 1. you're flying solo don't be afraid to start up a conversation with the person next to you, it can make your flight better and a gateway to a friendship, 2. If you're travelling with friends or family don't forget to select your seats when you're booking, and don't be that person who asks to switch seats
-
I have no issues with kids on planes. I do have issues with kids who misbehave and the parents do nothing. Has happened many times on flights, train trips etc.
-
"Don't complain about kids." If the kid is question is throwing a tantrum, climbing all over the chairs, running up and down the aisle, or kicking the seat in front of them, then I think it maybe worth complaining about.
-
A pet peeve of mine is an airport not listing a departure terminal and gate, until 45 minutes to an hour before departure. This has happened to me twice in European airports.
-
This video reminds me of why I hate flying so much. It seems to be a magnet for bad behaviour. Being in such a tight space together should make being kind and being considerate the rule.
-
Be Kind! Be Kind! And when in doubt, do the kind thing. This goes to far to make unpleasant travel pass better.
-
Take off your backpack before you board the plane. If you don’t, chances are you smack it into someone‘s face when you turn around to ask you better half which row you’re sitting in. And you’ll of course slow down the boarding, as stowing it away will take longer, if you still need to take it off.
-
THANK YOU for this desperately needed video! 3 enhancements I'd love to add: 1. Don't wear pants or maxi dresses with hems that drag on the floor for the same barefoot-bathroom reasons. 2. Don't be stinky would also include drowning in cologne or perfume. Crying babies don't give me headaches but Shalimar swimmers do. 3. You have the right to recline but please don't slam your seat back. No one needs their tablet crunched or their drink spilled on them. Great video as always!
-
Airlines need to start dealing with people who put their carry on and "personal bag" in the overhead storage. I've told a few people off about that on flights, the personal bag is under the seat in front of you. NOT taking up space for bags for the rest of us.
-
Fully charge your phone before you get to the airport and bring a battery bank. Get to the airport 3 hours before a domestic flight and 4 hours before an international flight. You can visit all your favorite websites on your phone for entertainment and you don't have to worry about running out of battery.

11:48 - I think airport bathroom cleanliness has improved lately. I always hit the "green smiley" on the electronic survey boards as I'm leaving and I sincerely thank the cleaning people whenever I encounter them.
