Airplane Ettiquete For Montanans

Spring Break is approaching for all you meddling college and high school students. You'll all be jetting off to the Dominican Republic, Myrtle Beach, West Padre Island and Fayetteville soon enough.

If your parents pay for it, of course.

Montana, Behave Yourself On The Plane

I stumbled across a social media post that linked to an article called "Airline Declares Both Armrests are for the Middle Seat Passenger." Jonathan with The Winglet published an article in 2018 letting all of us know middle seat folks get BOTH armrests.

Montana, keep your greasy arms off the middle armrests if you're in the aisle or on the window. I like this rule but never knew it was scripture.

Here are three more rules to know before boarding a plane out of, or into, Montana.

It's gross when you see bare feet in the airport. It's REALLY gross if your flight neighbor takes their shoes off and it stinks. I know my feet smell. I'm not proud of it. It's gross, but I curb it by keeping my skis on.

Fortunately, I've never endured a passenger not using headlines on a flight, but if I ever experience it I'll slap them upside the head and say "What the hell's the matter with you?" Watch your movies, listen to your music - just make sure you have your headphones on.

Here's one I never understand. How does it take so long to board a plane? Walk down the aisle, chuck your bag in the bin overhead and get out of the way. If you're a family, ok, I understand. It takes longer but keep 'er moving, people.
