3. Pay attention to safety information!
It makes no difference if you’ve traveled extensively before and are familiar with the safety precautions you must take when flying because each plane might have new rules to follow. For example, the layout of each plane is different, and the exit doors are placed somewhere else. If you are unsure about something, consult with the personnel. They are always there to help!
Don’t forget about the photo card in the seat pocket! It must also be read because it is extremely important. For the specific aircraft you are now flying, it will contain the most pertinent information.
4. Make sure you stay out of the way if you’re not authorized to help
Most people are trying to help if the situation requires it. But unless you’re qualified to help the cabin crew, you’d better keep calm and wait for instructions. Do you remember the incident from 2018? Many people panicked on Southwest Flight 1380, causing more harm than good to the plane crew, who were attempting to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
If you’re in the military, you’re actually asked to assist others and provide instructions to plane passengers! For some people, this might be the first time they’ve gotten to travel by plane, so they have no clue what’s going on. One of the best things you can do is help them put on their masks correctly!
