As shared in the video above, there are so many unspoken rules when it comes to seating, but here are some tips for air travel in general:

1. No cuts. Respect the line at boarding

3. If headphones are on, do not bug the person
4. Control your kids
5. No taking shoes off
6. Don't get up multiple times for unnecessary reasons if you are in the middle or window seat
