As airlines cut back on flights and people carry on more baggage due to the charges imposed on checked baggage, it’s more important than ever that we remind ourselves that we are only one person on a flight of many. It would help all of us to cope better if we acted with courtesy and respect toward our fellow passengers and the crew. Take this quiz to find out your airline etiquette knowledge!


First of all what the hell is a “Hospitality Lawyer”? Second, before all this silly overblown paranoia began I flew often. Now, I refuse to fly anywhere & it’s very doubtful that I’ll ever fly a commercial flight again. I refuse to be treated like a criminal & embarrassed by the TSA & the flight crews. Ever since this insanity began I have drive when I travel.
Hi Brian!
Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, a “Hospitality Lawyer” is any lawyer who practices law relevant to the hospitality industry.

Our hope is that this quiz gives travelers a better understanding that they affect their fellow travelers, even without realizing it.
There are a lot of these questions that don’t necessarily make sense, depending on the situation. For example, I may not dress to expedite the boarding process — I may dress for the meeting I’ll be attending once I land (given that I may not be able to check into a hotel and change that early). I may buy nuts to eat in one of the small necessity shops, if, as is often the case, the only other options are chips, cookies and candy (I’m a diabetic). Once, on the second leg of a long flight, I put my feet up on the bulkhead (why this is a problem, I don’t know — it affected no one but me) because my ankles were swelling to the point that my shoes were uncomfortable.
