Being a good passenger

      This is a photo through the window of a 777 over Greenland. We were on our way back from Italy flying out of CDG Paris. It is a long flight even when non-stop and even longer with a stop in Detroit or JFK. This particular flight was non-stop, Paris to San Francisco. On a flight like this, people need to get along and be courteous to one another.
      You get one seat on the plane. This means that you do not pull on the seat ahead of you when you stand up or touch every seat as you make it to the restroom. Fortunately, I am tall and can use the overhead bins to steady myself. If you aren't tall enough, walk with a wide stance.
      Do not push on the seat ahead of you; the person sitting there can feel everything. Also, I wish you to know that at meal time or anytime you are not sleeping, I would appreciate you not reclining your seat. This is important in coach. I need all the leg room I can get. This is one reason I pay extra money to fly Premium because the seats recline, but the backs stay stationary.
      Go on a flight comment site and read about what to do or not do to make people around you happy. It may only be 12 hours, but a bad rest can ruin several days at the destination.
      On behalf of those flying with you next time, thank you for reading.
