After you have boarded your flight and you are already inside the plane, you are expected to be of your best behavior and avoid making anything that will disturb other passengers or even cause trouble to the stewards and stewardess. There are a lot of things that you need to be aware of when inside the plane and just because you have finally boarded the plane does not mean everything is going to be easy and you just go and have fun.
- Before reaching the aircraft, you will be directed to where you are going to board the plane. You will be at a waiting area together with other passengers of the same flight. The plane will give an order for boarding the flight and a flight attendant at the entrance will guide you on your way to your seat. You will need to show your ticket that has the number of the seat you are designated to and they will give you directions where you need to go.
- Once inside the plane and on your designated seat, if you have any bags with you are carrying, you are expected to put your luggage at the overhead where there are compartments for bags. You can still carry small bags with you in your seats. Usually aircrafts do not allow you to use your mobile phones while on board the plane so respect their policy.
- If the other seats you are with are not taken, you can put up the arm rests and claim all the seats to yourself.
- Before taking flight, flight attendants will show you how to wear your seat belts and other things necessary before, after and during the flight. In case of emergencies during the flight, these attendants will be there to assist you.
- Some seats are too skimpy in which your kneecaps are going to touch the back of the seat in front of you. If you want to lower the back of your seat, be sure to watch out for the person at your back since you will be taking their space as well. If possible, ask permission from the back passenger if it is okay to lower the back seat. If there are no passengers at the back, feel free to lower them as you please.
It is advisable that you drink lots of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine while taking flight in order to avoid headaches and worsening your jet lag.
