Aeroplane etiquette, a tradition dating back to the Wright brothers, is fading as stress levels during air travel rise. The Turkish Directorate General of Civil Aviation has introduced compliance measures targeting early standing during landing to enhance safety and courtesy. Passengers now face fines for non-compliance. Key etiquette rules include keeping shoes on and regulating armrest access, yet disagreements persist about reclining seats, exposing deeper issues of personal space on flights.
"The Turkish Directorate General of Civil Aviation has just announced compliance measures for passengers who stand up too early on landing, emphasizing safety and courtesy in air travel."
"Stress tends to make people less self-aware and therefore less polite, especially during air travel, which is increasingly stressful with each passing year."
"Two iron rules of plane etiquette crop up again and again: First, keep your shoes on, and second, the middle seat passenger gets command of both armrests."
"The question of whether it's rude to recline your seat sparks much debate, reflecting the broader tensions of personal space and comfort in confined airplane seating."
