Airplane Etiquette
1. Listen to announcements regarding rows for boarding. Don't just crowd around the departure lounge door, they won't leave until everyone is loaded.
2. As you board, don't hit already seated passengers with your coat, laptop bag, other carry on luggage.
3. When you find your row, put your carry on luggage on your seat and stand in front of it until the queue of people behind you have passed by, rather than blocking the aisle while you struggle to load everything into the locker.
4. Arrive an extra hour earlier at the airport so you can relax, don't hold everyone else up, and don't arrive sweating and gasping in the seat next to me. Late connections are a valid excuse.
5. Treat the check in staff and flight attendants, like your family members, with courtesy, and you will find they will be more helpful.

Following these points will avoid me wanting to throw you without a parachute from the emergency exit. That is all.

I'm with you generally but
as for #5 if I treated them like my family members they would probably not like it all that much.

6. Don't all impatiently pile into the aisle and start fighting for your bags the minute the wheels are on the tarmac.
They haven't even opened the doors, and you're only going to spend more time waiting for your luggage.

7. You in the seat next to me, don't get all fidgety because I'm remaining seated until the aisles are clear and I can just saunter off the plane.
