Airplane Etiquette

Flew Southwest Airlines home to San Diego to surprise mom for Mother's Day, and realized that outside of the ever-traveling consultant, there seems to be a general ignorance regarding airplane etiquette. Let's set some standards here:

1) The passenger in the middle seat is entitled to both armrests. If they got suckered into paying full price for a crap seat, they should at least get to rest their elbows on the little plastic ledge.

2) When getting up out of your seat, do not hoist yourself up using the chair in front of you.

3) Do not rest your shoeless foot in the wedge between the two seats in front of you.

4) If the middle seat is open, both the window and the aisle passenger are entitled to use the tray table to store peanuts and bloody marys.

5) Like the sign says, "As a courtesy to the next passenger, please consider using your paper towel to wipe off the basin."
