There are a lot of hotly contested airplane etiquette topics out there, ranging from who controls the window shades, to whether reclining your seat is a right or privilege, to when it’s appropriate to swap seats with others, to standing up as soon as the plane arrives at the gate. I have strong opinions on most of these topics, though here’s one where I never know what to do.
This is minor in the grand scheme of things, but I’m still curious how others handle this situation.
On the surface this is a nice and logical gesture. If me sitting on the plane for a little extra time means someone will make it home to see their family, or make it on a well deserved vacation, I’m all for it. But I’m becoming jaded when it comes to this, and I’m curious how others feel.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
