Yes, we KNOW there aren’t enough armests, but no, you dont fight for them; its first come, first served! Well, kinda. There actually are etiquette rules to follow in the wonderful world of air travel, just as there are etiquette rules to follow at orgies; it sort of boils down to a do unto others in both instances. But this whole etiquette deal can get complicated, and it strikes me that American fliers are crying out for a leader in this area.
Sure theres some advice out there and some of its pretty good, but nothing addresses ALL our etiquette questions are concerns, sowhod like to see a weekly air travel advice column? Is that a yes? A YES??? I thought so. Maybe well do this once a week.
Send your questions to anne@farecompare.com. Questions can be serious or stupid; as far as Im concerned, the thirst for knowledge knows no IQ.
Who made me an expert? I did. Plus, Ive read my mothers 1938 edition of Emily Post many, many times.
Yes yes yes. Advice is much needed. Especially for the male flyers among us (hate to be sexist but observations over a million miles of flying confirm this hypothesis)

does Emily Post really cover orgy etiquette? Man, the ’30s were a more swingin’ time than i ever imagined.

Mike, you scamp! But regarding Mrs. Post’s classic “Etiquette” book, her advice is just as relevant today as it was 70-years ago. Now, send in those questions!!!
