Kick the seat (only if you are directly behind him), ask the FA to help? Get out of your seat to shake him awake (not a good idea if you are in a window seat).

Charter a private jet then the only snoring is your own ...

Yes, snoring is a form of harm: Bodily-harm-by-pressured-waves-on-internal-body-part. Are you ok if someone screams in your ear contstantly?? How about bringing a megaphone onboard. Still happy??

Do you really think anyone choses to snore? Get real. They may not even chose to fall asleep, it happens. It is not like someone choosing to talk loudly, talk on a phone, scream in your ear constantly, bring s megaphone on board, or "purposely" disrupt other people. Snoring is a medical condition, not a choice. The one "harmed" is the person who snores, not the other.

In extreme situations I always suggest the John Wesley Hardin solution.

Yes, a box of earplugs is standard in my travel bag, whether airplanes or trains.

I don't think I snore on planes, but if I do, I would be absolutely fine if the FA, or whoever is seated near me, shook me gently, woke me up and said, "You're snoring." On the other hand, if someone deliberately kicked the back of my seat (at least hard enough to wake me up), I'd probably ask the FA to tell that person that, if they do it again, I'll ask the police to meet the plane.

Read your meeting briefing the night before in the privacy of your home or hotel room? Or in the airport lounge if only received that morning before the flight? Set your expectations that someone might sleep on an early morning flight (once again). If the guy was loudly talking would you be equally perturbed?

If only someone would invent a device that fits in or over the ear for the purposes of preventing sound from entering...

Yeah, but as a snorer I can be a bit sympathetic.

I've never had anyone complain on a flight, I'd be ok with a nudge from another passenger or FA, but a kick from a pax behind me would result in unpleasantries.

1. Pinch his nose with thumb and forefinger of your left hand.
2. Cup his mouth with the palm of your right hand.
3. Continue to do so until he stops breathing.

Grow a pair? Watch the paralympics and see what dealing with adversity is really like? Act like a proper businessman and prepare for the meeting the night before just in case, for example's sake, oh I dunno, let's say someone next to you on the plane snores? Ask one of your parents if you can swap seats with them? Mind you, it's brightened my morning up just a little, I do hope this runs a little longer but I doubt it! :)

It's certainly below the pain and damage threshold, otherwise the snorer would be sound away. So no, it isn't harm, just a nuisance.

No .. but doesn't the crew that all the time? And they spam you gratuitously with the most nonsensical announcements ... now that borders on harm.

Earplugs! And learn how to insert them so they really work. :)
