Rules of conduct on the plane. Fasten seat belts

Almost every person ever travels for various reasons. Many people, for one reason or another, are faced with the need to use the services of air carriers.

Why do we need rules

But not everyone knows how to behave properly in an airplane during take-off, landing, flight and during registration. But there are rules of conduct on the plane for passengers. In order not to get into trouble, you should first familiarize yourself with them, and also during the flight, be guided by the advice of the accompanying stewards and stewardesses.

As already mentioned, there are rules of conduct in an airplane. Of course, many of them are slightly different for different carriers, depending on the category of flights and on different airlines, but there are points that are common to all. For example, there are restrictions on the availability of certain items in personal baggage in the cabin. You need to know that luggage is called “hand luggage” on the plane, that you can’t take a number of objects with you, for example, a large amount of liquid and sharp objects. But more on that later.

Airport check-in rules

So, a person ends up at the airport terminal to check in for his flight, purchase a ticket, and check in his luggage. Many along the way visit duty-free shops, where you can purchase original high-quality goods at the lowest cost.

Experienced passengers often carry pre-printed boarding passes. They can only go through customs inspection and hand over their luggage. To do this, go to the drop-off rack. Sometimes baggage is accepted automatically, where it is checked in and weighed. For different flights, there are different rules for air transportation of luggage in relation to its weight, quantity and size. This should be consulted in advance. If the flight is included in the “low cost” category, then the cost of checked baggage is paid extra and has restrictions up to 30 kilograms per passenger.

If a passenger checked in online but didn’t receive a boarding pass, he should turn to the desks with the inscription online check-in. In cases where the passenger has not pre-filled out any documents for the flight, he needs to contact the service personnel for desks with the inscriptions “business class” or “economy class” depending on the chosen category of flight and its cost. Often, airport employees invite unregistered passengers to the online check-in counters so as not to create unnecessary hustle and bustle. But if a person appears with a registered coupon, he must be skipped out of turn.

Unwritten rules of conduct in an airplane

Not many are ready now to spend extra money when flying to comfort. Therefore, it is necessary, using the services of an economy class air carrier, to observe some “unwritten” rules of conduct in an airplane. This will help to avoid conflicts with others.

1. In order not to be dissatisfied due to the inconvenient location of the seats in the cabin, you should purchase seats in advance. To be able to choose. You should first familiarize yourself with the layout of the cabin. Indeed, for different models of aircraft it is different.
2. For regular customers, airlines themselves offer better seats. This must be taken into account if you often have to use air travel.
3. Do not use the abundance of perfumes and colognes before landing. This can cause a negative reaction from others.
4. If the flight is long, it is recommended to bring a pair of clean socks with you. When you need to take off your shoes, they will come in handy.
5. Before the flight, you should pay attention to personal hygiene. Otherwise, the people around him and the passenger himself will feel discomfort from the abundance of unpleasant odors.
6. You need to know what is hand luggage on the plane on the top shelf. That you can’t leave it on the side, blocking the passage. The size of hand luggage must correspond to the size of the upper shelf for luggage, so as not to fall.
7. For hand luggage there is a niche on the upper shelf, corresponding to the seat of the passenger. You must not occupy other people's places for hand luggage. Surplus items taken into the cabin (if airport employees allowed to do this) are set at their feet, between rows of seats. After all passengers have fully landed, before taking off the aircraft, with the permission of the steward, you can place excess baggage in the free niches of the upper shelf.
8. It is impossible to sharply and without warning tilt the seat back. This can lead to an incident if the rear passengers at the moment are drinking drinks or food.
9. You should not include loud music in your player or tablet. This can trigger a conflict.
10. When landing the liner, you cannot occupy the entire passage with your figure, waiting for the gangway.
11. Do not use your phone often. Unpleasant for many will be the fact of your conversations. Sometimes it annoys others. It is recommended to use the phone in emergency cases and only with the permission of the aircraft operating personnel.
    
12. It is not recommended to take perishable food, food with strong flavors. Many airlines do not allow food packages to be carried aboard. If lunch is not provided by the air carrier, then in the form of a snack you can take snacks, sandwiches with sausage, cookies with you.
13. When eating, you should be careful. You should not risk being doused or soiled.
14. In the toilet of the cabin, basic rules of ethics and hygiene standards must be observed. The bathroom on the plane is a common area. Leave it clean and tidy after you.
15. It must be remembered that stewards and stewardesses are not servants for whims. They provide comfort and safety for passengers. You can’t press the call button for no reason. If you want to go to the flight attendant, you can approach him. During the flight, movement in the cabin is permitted.
    
16. In case of violation by the passenger of the rules and norms during the flight, violation of the carriage of baggage on the plane, the passenger can be assigned to the offenders and get into the “black list”. In this case, the brawler will be denied further use of the services of an air carrier. In violation of the law and the code of offenses, the perpetrator may be sentenced to prison or receive a huge fine.

Basic rules and regulations

And now about the basic norms and rules of conduct in an airplane. Their observance will help to avoid emergency situations during take-off and landing of the airliner.

Many are interested in the question: “Is it possible to smoke on an airplane?” The answer is in the rules that determine the behavior of passengers on board the aircraft.

Ban

The rules of conduct in an airplane state that it is forbidden to do on board an airplane:

• Prohibited:
  • drinking alcohol;
  • smoking throughout the cabin, including the bathroom;
  • during take-off and landing it is impossible to use electronic devices, including telephones, laptops, measuring devices;
  • discourage personnel from servicing;
  • refuse to comply with the requirements of the aircraft crew;
  • damage intentionally and disable aircraft equipment;
  • show aggression and hooligan actions, including swearing;
  • remain in the cabin if instructed to leave;
  • use of narcotic substances;
  • bully and threaten the rest of the passengers.

All actions of passengers must be coordinated with the work of personnel serving the airliner.

Mandatory Requirements

There is statistics that many accidents occur due to the fault of passengers due to their ignoring of the basic rules of conduct in an airplane during take-off and landing. The proximity of the earth and a minimum of time to resolve lead to tragedies. Surprisingly, the higher the plane above the surface of the earth, the greater the distance from it, the safer. This is what requires unquestioning obedience to cabin crew commands. Their standard phrases are not a fad.

This will help to avoid overlays and tragic accidents. Everything is quite simple, but necessary for execution:

• Disconnect mobile phones and other electronic devices.
• Put the hand luggage placed on the upper shelf in a niche.
• Adjust the seatbacks vertically.
• Fasten your seat belts.
• Fold out folding tables.
• Raise the window blinds.
• Turn off the music on the headphones.

Details on the rules

The need for such measures is due to the safety of the flight. The disconnection of mobile phones and devices that operate on a signal is required in order not to accidentally create problems with the magnetic field, on which the correct operation of aircraft instruments depends. This can adversely affect the radio equipment and negotiations between the dispatchers and the crew of the airliner. An exception for disabling a mobile phone or tablet is switching to a special “for flight” mode.

The vertical position of the seatbacks during take-off and landing of the aircraft is required for the possibility of unhindered exit of all passengers from their seats in case of danger. If the back of the chair is installed in the folding position, this will not work.

The flight attendant's “fasten your seatbelt” requirement must be observed due to a possible emergency, increased turbulence, or sudden braking of the aircraft. In such a situation, there is a chance of injury due to the separation of the passenger’s body from its place. Spread out tables can also cause injury.

Open portholes will help passengers adapt to lighting during take-off and landing. An important factor is that it takes into account the case of passengers detecting deviations in engine operation through a window, for example, increased smoke or fire.

If you listen to music, you can skip the important message cabin attendants and their instructions for any action.

The most important moment in flight for an airplane crew is braking when the airliner lands. This is the moment when the actions of all units can be sharp, unforeseen. Therefore, do not rush things and rush to the exit. Abrupt braking can cause injuries if passengers are not fastened. When the plane taxies to the terminal and the ramp is served, only then should you calmly get ready for the exit.

Flight of children

Special attention should be paid to the flight for persons with children. The rules of conduct on the plane for children are not very different from the basic ones. But one should take into account the fact that the responsibility for the behavior of children under 12 during the flight is borne by the persons accompanying them.

If the passengers have a baby, it is allowed to carry a baby stroller or carrycot in the cabin. Children under 7 days of age are not advised to take on board. The flight conditions and the possibility of using a rocking chair in special places are pre-negotiated.

Children under 5 years old can fly on planes only accompanied by adults. Older children can fly on airliners on their own, provided that there is evidence of their meeting upon arrival. In such cases, the airline is fully responsible for the flight of children. All the nuances of such a flight must be agreed upon in advance. If there are no guests at the place of arrival, the airline will deliver the child to the specified address.

Children in the cabin must comply with all the rules. To fasten the kids to the chair, a special belt of appropriate sizes is used. If a child flies in the economy class cabin without a separate seat, then lunch is not included in its service, only drinks. However, some carriers provide food for each of its passengers. This raises their rating and status.

Flight of passengers with animals

Some people travel with their pets. For this, there are special rules for transporting animals on airplanes.

A prerequisite for transporting the animal is that he has a special passport and a certificate of his health. This can be obtained at any veterinary clinic. The documents must contain certificates of all necessary vaccinations. Free passage through customs control and during registration will be possible if there is a certificate of the lack of breeding value of the animal.

If the animal is up to 8 kilograms, then it is placed in the cabin in a special cage adapted for transportation during flights. The exception is guide dogs for the blind. They are transported with free baggage. For other animals a special ticket is purchased. Large animals are kept in special ventilated containers and cages in the cargo compartments. The crew of the aircraft is always up to date with events taking place in the cargo compartment, through special connections and indicators.

All recommendations for transporting animals must be followed to avoid accidental death. Previously, you should familiarize yourself with the list of “smaller brothers” prohibited for export, and if there is a special need, you must take care in advance of the permission of the State Committee for Environmental Protection.

The main thing - before deciding to fly with an animal, it is necessary to clarify the possibility of transporting it on a flight. It is imperative to clarify whether animals are allowed into the country of arrival.

Upon arrival

These are some rules of conduct in an airplane during a flight. It is worth noting that, with a favorable landing of the airliner, it is customary for applause to thank the ship's commander and crew for a good flight. And when leaving the plane, one must say goodbye to the flight attendant with words of gratitude for a pleasant air journey.
