Plane etiquette

IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules...

RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop.

He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half."

Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing.

If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back.

FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for.

"Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else.

"If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up."

CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat.

She added: "I’m not a talker. Plane time is me time."
