5. Calling the Front Desk Without Doing a Little Research
Nowadays, most mid-range and budget hotels have understaffed front desks, which prevents them from checking guests in or resolving serious issues. Calling them for information like Wi-Fi passwords or the time of breakfast, which is almost certainly explained elsewhere in the room, wastes their time.
Imagine trying to locate baseball on TV but being unsuccessful. The channel listing card escapes your notice after a quick glance, so you phone the front desk, who assures you that it must be there somewhere in the space. In the end, it turns out to be beneath the menu for room service.
Checking into hotels is difficult enough without you and other travelers making needless calls to the front desk.
6. Slamming Your Seat Back on the Plane
Although it’s an old one, it’s still important to highlight.
It’s debatable whether or not it’s OK to recline your seat, but if you do, do it gently and be careful not to bump into the person behind you, knock their ginger ale out of their hands, smash the gadget they’re using to watch a crappy movie, or frighten the crap out of them.
You should take a quick glance behind you, slowly recline, and acknowledge how uncomfortable they are.
7. Failing to Stow Your Carry-on Bag in the Most Space-Efficient Way
The longest side should face the back of the overhead compartment when placing a carry-on. This works with most bags unless you have something very uncommon, like a guitar or sports equipment.
Another request: Please don’t hog all the overhead room with your coat or fashionable hat. Place it under the seat or on top of another bag.
8. Yapping on Your Cell Phone on the Plane
Once the plane has landed, some people could chat excessively loudly on their phones while also slowing down the procedure.
It doesn’t matter if you’re attempting to impress others by bragging about an important meeting or sale; but, it is unacceptable to take up too much of their time as a result.
If you must converse, do so, but keep the deboarding procedure going.
