Unwritten Rules during a Flight, Find Out Here!
When using transportation, whether land, air, or sea… of course several rules must be obeyed. Even though these regulations are not written directly, it would be wiser to apply them while traveling later, t-mates.
1. Reduce The Intensity of Going to The Toilet When Sitting in The Inner Row
The first rule is don’t go to the toilet too often during the flight. Especially for those of you who sit in the middle seat or near the window. This of course will disturb the comfort of other passengers seated in the same row as you. Because maybe they should stand up and step out to make way.
Instead, choose a seat in the aisle if you are one of those who frequently go to the toilet to urinate. Or you can reduce drinking so you don’t want to urinate quickly.
2. Rules for Upholding and Leaning Chairs
This often happens in economy class flights. In economy class, legroom is limited and the seats feel too upright. So many passengers want to lower the seatback to make it feel more comfortable and wider.
Indeed, there are no rules on the plane that bind this matter, but this can disturb the comfort of other passengers. So, pay attention to this one thing, t-mates.
3. Size of Luggage Allowed to Enter Cabin
Talking about luggage and cabins, we often encounter passengers who carry a lot of luggage and take up more space. In fact, the storage space in the cabin is very limited and you have to share it with other passengers.
Starting from the size to the number, you must pay attention to it. So, your luggage doesn’t need to be moved to the trunk because the size doesn’t match or because there are too many of them.
The dimensions of luggage permitted in the cabin are 22 inches (56 cm) x 18 inches (45 cm) x 10 inches (25 cm) with a maximum weight of 7 kilograms. However, these regulations vary for each airline.
4. Armrest Regulations
Apart from safety and comfort reasons, it seems that the armrests in each seat on this plane have another function. Are you wondering about this?
Angkasa Pura explained it on their Instagram account. That, the two armrests in the middle passenger seat are the right for passengers sitting in the middle seat. This is because they get limited space. In contrast to seats near the window or near the aisle which is more flexible. You are not confused anymore, are you?
5. How to Use the Lavatory (Toilet)
t-mates, are you still confused about how to use the lavatory or toilet on the plane? Relax, how to use the toilet on the plane is quite easy. Because the written sign is quite easy to understand, and its use is more or less the same as the toilet in general.
However, you need to lock the door properly so that other passengers know that the toilet is being used. If you are still confused, the cabin crew/flight attendants will be ready to explain it to you, t-mates.
6. Meal & Drink Rules on Board
Regarding eating and drinking rules, there are new regulations since the post-pandemic new normal. Starting from serving food/drinks using a simple box. Until the regulation food/drinks will only be provided for passengers who have pre-booked meals.
However, passengers are still allowed to bring their own food or drink. It’s just that there are a number of special notes, such as liquids that are no more than 100 ml or some categories of food that don’t have a strong aroma.
7. Allowed/Prohibited Carry-On in Baggage and Cabin
On this one point, it is already written in the luggage regulations that are permitted or prohibited to enter the cabin/luggage, t-mates. If you bring sharp objects such as knives or nail clippers, they are only allowed to be put in baggage. As for the power bank, you are only allowed to bring it into the cabin.
In addition, you can put liquid, gas, and aerosol objects in your baggage without a maximum limit.
8. How to Bring Zam-Zam Water
Have you just returned from Umrah or Hajj? Zamzam water is of course a mandatory souvenir that you want to bring for your relatives, right? But unfortunately, all airlines enforce regulations that are quite strict to carry Zamzam water in limited quantities, a maximum of 5 liters.
In addition, the Zamzam water that you can bring must be sold at the airport in factory packaging provided by the Saudi Airport Authority. So, it’s best to obey these rules if you don’t want to feel wasted!
