Summer is here – okay, so this year is not a record-breaker, but there are a lot of people in the air these days, taking advantage of the great deals out there.

So I thought, maybe it’s time for a refresher course in airplane etiquette. Take a look, and please add your own “no-no’s” in the comments section below.

The Nine No-No’s of Flying

1. Annoying Aromatherapy: Doesn’t matter whether it’s you, your sandwich or your scent — if the five rows in front and back of you can pinpoint your seat – that stinks.

• DON’T assume a liberal dousing with Old Spice is “just as good as a shower”
• DON’T pack egg salad sandwiches or liver-and-onions in any form
• DON’T use a 6am flight to acquaint seatmates with your new Britney Spears perfume

2. Bin Beast: There’s not enough space for everyone’s carryon anyway – take more than your share and behold the wrath of your seatmates.

• DO put your bag in wheels first, never sideways
• DON’T use an oversized bag or did you miss that square peg/round hole lecture?
• DON’T put your laptop in the bin, unless you don’t mind 50 people slamming it around as they desperately seek room for their oversized bags

3. Boozification: While it may seem like a great idea to kill time waiting for that delayed flight with a glass or two, you may regret it.

• DON’T argue with flight attendants if they cut you off – you may find yourself continuing your argument with the police
• DON’T look for other sources of alcohol; one woman tried liquid soap, and the resulting mayhem led to 22 days in jail

4. First Class Fever: One who sits in coach, but feels entitled to all the perks of the next class – to the great displeasure of the flight attendants.

• DON’T constantly buzz for crew members – they really do have better things to do
• DON’T treat crew members like servants; honestly, who would you rather help, Dr. Heckle or Mr. Nice?

5. Puppy Love: You may be shocked to learn some of your fellow passengers do not consider dogs (or cats or rodents) “man’s best friend”

• DON’T take your pet out of its carrying case; I can assure you this will not bring a smile to the face of that grumpy road warrior beside you
• DO consider a pet-only airline; perhaps your dog doesn’t want to fly with all those annoying humans
