Excerpts:
1. You’re in the middle seat, between two strangers. Who gets the armrests?
Anne Loew, Veteran flight attendant: The folks in the aisle seat can lean toward the aisle, and the window-seat passenger has the window to lean on. The poor middle-seat passengers are suffering enough–they get both armrests.
Richard Wishner, Frequent traveler: You share. The bigger guy gets the forward part of the armrest.
2. A tall man sits down and his knees jut out wide, encroaching on your space.
Kirk Hanson, Santa Clara University ethics professor: The tall man is not at fault for being tall. Candid discussion when you all sit down goes a long way toward everyone making accommodations for this situation.
Thom McDaniel, veteran flight attendant and union president: You are entitled to your space from armrest to armrest in the seat you purchased, so you should say something if anyone encroaches.
Marion Blakey, former head of the FAA and the NTSB: Nothing – he can’t help it. When the doors close look quickly for another seat.
3. You’re in the window seat and two strangers in the middle and aisle seats are asleep. You have to go to the bathroom.
Mr. McDaniel: No good options here. You have to wake them up politely. If you try crawling over them, not only is it really awkward looking, but if they wake up, you will startle them, and that’s worse.
Anna Post, etiquette expert: Tap them on the shoulder, the shoulder is a safe place, rather than the leg or a hand. Sometimes the act of unbuckling your seat belt will wake them up. If you’re hopping up every 20 minutes, that is not acceptable.
4. On a long flight on a full plane, some kids are getting restless, speaking loudly, and kicking seatbacks.
Ms. Loew: Say something to mommy and daddy.If it doesn’t stop tell the flight attendant.
Ms. Post: It’s not good to try to discipline someone else’s child. Ask for what you want, but don’t try to justify it. Tone carries a lot. You don’t want to get into an argument with parents.
Mr. Hanson: Travelers who are particularly sensitive to noise should carry earphones or earplugs. My first tactic is always to look between the seats and get the eye of both child and parent. If the kicking continues, then I get up and look over the seat top and ask politely for the parent to control the kicking. The third step is to ask the flight attendant to intervene.
5. Your seatmate brings a smelly meal on board and loudly starts munching.
Ms. Blakey: Basically [you have to endure it] unless he spills on you.
Ms. Post: May be totally gross, but the damage is done. You can’t tell someone they can’t eat that. If they are spilling, yes, say something. You can’t be food police on the plane.
6. Do you recline your seat?
Ms. Loew: More people are choosing not to recline in deference to their fellow passenger. If someone reclines and you can’t do your work, then you are permitted to ask them to please adjust their seat. Expect a dirty look and a 50/50 chance of achieving your goal.
Mr. McDaniel: You have the right to recline, however it is nice if you check to see if anyone has their computer open or has something that can spill on their tray before reclining. If you choose to recline, do it slowly or just halfway.

Yea! My arms rest now —being a WEAK end! My voyage mate in the plane swallowed a sugar cube, and he gulped down insipid black tea.

1) pawisa chawi theuh theuh middle seat a thut pawn chuhhelh ve mai tur, hrehawm ti deuha thut reng ai chuan. Thutpuite nen sawiho a insiamrem pawh a theih.
2) depends on how much of your space he is encroaching. If you are not comfortable telling it to him, fidget in your seat and move your legs every two seconds, hopefully he will get the message.
3) wake them up, if you have to go every half an hour exchange seats.
4) Naupang bengchheng hi an ninawm, mahse hei hi chu tawrh mai mai tur.
5) tihtheih engmah awm lo, a aia rimchhia i pai te a nih ngawt loh chuan.
6) i dont recline my seat unless there’s nobody sitting behind me.
