That leads to another interesting question: what's the proper etiquette for asking the captain to turn the seat belt sign off? It seems that leaving it on is a common occurrence, and for those sitting in Y, by the time the captain remembers, there's already a cart blocking the way.

Although I guess with the reduction in meal services, that won't be as much of an issue anymore...
