Good manners on board, reclining the seat

I'm on my way to Amsterdam and I'm already nervous because the cushion by the neck remained on the kitchen table while I am already on the coach Toward the airport. Boarding all right. I get on the plane. We take off. As I reach for the tablet in the bag under the seat, the passenger in front of me. recline the seat out of nowhere, out of nowhere, without saying a word, and of course it goes straight to me on the front.

Then another misfortune that forces me to change places: as I get up to go to the bathroom, I carelessly bump my blood orange juice that falls...You know, turbulence happens and it's a moment you lose your balance.

Seat in your face aside, whether you're on a plane, bus, train, ferry, or any place where contact with other people is unavoidable, one must necessarily comply with the other people's space and consequently try to be the most respectful possible.

Please ask before reclining the seat

Airplanes are not known for having so much space on board, unless they are the new concept of luxury of Cathay Pacific, so reclining the seat will inevitably lead to reduced space livable Of those behind us.

At the very least, it would be advisable to ask before reclining the seat, otherwise we may run into a diatribe that could ruin our trip.

Somewhat like what happened to two passengers on a flight of American Airlines Who evidently did not agree with each other:

Apparently the lady began to recline the seat and the man behind her asked her if she could get him to return to an upright position because he was eating. Once the meal was finished, the woman again reclined her seat, but evidently the gesture is not liked to the other passenger, who decided to express his displeasure in a manner that was perhaps too blatant.

The video resonated so much that American Airlines itself had to intervene with a statement to NBC:

"We are aware of a customer dispute that occurred on American Eagle flight 4392, operated by Republic Airways on Jan. 31. The safety and comfort of our customers and team members is our top priority, and our team is looking into the issue."

It is not known what happened first of the video and therefore who is right and who is wrong, what we do know is that with the good education you always get a good result.

At most, one can always ask the stewardesses for blood orange juice.
