I know many parents don't believe in using pacifiers in general, but I think there are situations (like airplanes), where a few hours with a pacifier isn't going to do any damage.

- If you're just five feet tall and the person behind you is more than six feet tall, don't recline your seat. Under any circumstances, don't recline your seat without polite discussion with the person behind you.

- If you're naturally hyperactive, take a sedative before flying. You're too close to others to be bouncing like that without making them want to kill you (slowly and painfully).

- Learn to chew gum with your mouth closed.

- When walking down the aisle, the headrests of other people's seats are not your personal exercise equipment.

- Don't stand in the aisles having conversations with your friends and family while the attendants are trying to serve drinks and people are trying to get to the bathrooms. If you can't book a seat in the same row, you need to be able to get through the trip without those long, meaningful conversations about the worthless crap you want to buy from the duty-free magazines.

(for the flight attendants) - please remember that your bosses have cut costs so much that flying is a miserable experience for travelers. And this is after they spend far too long waiting in long, miserable lines only to have their crotches grabbed by strangers (and not in a good way). Please be patient with them, and, later, they will recognize that you do the best you can under very difficult circumstances.
