On Board Etiquette
 
From BA intranet:

In preparation for the peak holiday season, British Airways has been consulting with its European passengers to find out just what niggles them most when flying. As a result of this feedback, the airline has produced five relevant tips to ensure that everyone has a stress free journey to the sun.

1. Appreciate your own personal space and others will appreciate yours

46% of passengers hate it when people encroach on their personal space with elbows and legs.

2. Don't make others feel like a Gooseberry

28% complained about couples canoodling indiscreetly next to them

3. Don't tell your life story to the person sitting next to you

12% of holidaymakers can't stand it when a complete stranger engages in lengthy conversations about themselves.

4. If you are listening to a CD player please consider those around you and keep the volume down to a level where only you can hear it

10% of those asked said that loud CD players annoyed them the most.

5. Don't shout

4% of holidaymakers felt annoyed by fellow passengers yelling at family and friends across the aisleway.
