""Donald Trump talks about the golden age of transportation, the golden age of America. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you, the traveler," Duffy said. "If you just watch social media, you have brawls at the baggage claim, you have passengers berating gate agents," Duffy said. "We have unruly passengers on airplanes. People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly.""
"Duffy added that some people are "having a hard time" fitting heavy luggage into the overhead bins. Checked bag fees start at $35 for most major US airlines, which motivates some travelers to maximize their carry-on capacity. "And so we want to push people, as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up, bring civility back to travel," he said."
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy urged travelers to behave more civilly during the busy holiday travel season, recommending dressing up and being courteous. He cited social media examples of brawls at baggage claim, passengers berating gate agents, and unruly behavior on planes. Duffy noted that some travelers struggle to fit heavy luggage into overhead bins and that checked bag fees motivate maximizing carry-on capacity. He encouraged helping others, staying in a good mood, and bringing civility back to travel. Airlines vary in clothing policies, with Spirit warning passengers could be barred if deemed "inadequately clothed." The FAA has reported a sharp rise in in-flight incidents.
