While there is not much you can do about delays and long lines, you can help by not being an annoying passenger.

I found this article very interesting and true. I think that people often forget some of these simple tips and can become annoying very easily.
I liked this article. I have never really flown during the holidays. However, I do know that it is a hectic time for travel and that people can be put on the edge. No one wants to stand in a long line or hear that your flight has been delayed when you are trying to get home for the holidays. However, that is life and that is just apart of traveling. Therefore, you can be of help and great relief to the workers and other travelers if you will not be annoying. I found these 10 tips very practical and true when it comes to traveling. No one likes a rude, inconsiderate, uncaring, non-interested passenger or fellow traveler. We need to start thinking beyond ourselves and think of others. Think about the people that have to work on these holidays and are not with their families. I am sure that they would love to be almost anywhere else except at work on the holidays. Therefore, we need to think about others and how the decisions we make will effect them. The lines are not going to go any faster and the delays are not going to go away or get any better with someone being annoying. If you are traveling this holiday, then try to stay positive and not self-centered.
Did you enjoy these tips? Do you travel long distances for the holidays or do you just stay at home? Nevertheless, this is some practical advise for those who are endeavoring to fly this holiday season.
I agree, people should be thinking of other first. It's sad that an article needs to be posted about manners, common courtesy and having respect for others.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't travel that much, so the whole culture of travel is foreign to me. However, I know what being polite can to for you. Most people will bend over backwards for you if you act just a little considerate and cordial. Seriously, when people are rude to me, especially when I have done nothing wrong, I want to help them last. I don't think there is anyone who enjoys dealing with crabby people.
