They seek counsel and encouragement from the Jetiquette Judge, hoping for a return to more respectful and considerate public behavior during travel.

Join the Jetiquette Judge as they tackle a toe-tally audacious airplane offense: using a tray table as a footrest. Is this just another flight of fancy or a serious breach of airborne decorum? Find out what the Judge has to say about this and how airlines can curb such sole-searching misbehavior.

I was flying from New York to Los Angeles recently and the passenger across from me made the biggest mess in their row. He spent the enture flight ripping pages out of magazines and throwing them, along with newspapers, onto the floor. He also threw snack wrappers down to the floor even through Flight Attendants came around throughout the flight to collect garbage from passengers.

I was asked by another passenger to change seats so she could sit with her husband. I prefer a window seat yet this lady wanted me to switch to her center seat, which I did not want to do.
