Airplane Etiquette

In over twenty years of flying, author Peter Sheardy has learned a thing or two. And he's noticed that not only have airlines changed the way they do business, but also passengers conduct themselves in an entirely different manner. Compiling his observations and tips into this helpful guide to air travel, Sheardy helps readers get from point A to point B with as much grace and ease as possible.

With sections on preparing for your flight while still at home, getting to and from airports, checking in, navigating the terminal, boarding the aircraft, and deplaning, no segment of the journey escapes Sheardy's observations-or recommendations for proper conduct.

Additionally, audiences will find helpful hints for when they are flying with children, dealing with flight attendants, and attempting to understand airport ratings.

So whether you are a first-time flyer or a seasoned veteran of the skies, sit back, relax, and enjoy this fantastic guide to air travel while you wait for your complimentary beverage and bag of pretzels.
