#30 outright wrong - without single doubt. You’ve just not tried a proper memory foam neck pillow with flat back.

Send us a link Andy...willing to consider your take here. BUT the part that requires carrying around the pillow during travels really feels like a dealbreaker.

Feverishly disagree with #16, especially on long flights, they even give you extra socks. Care to elaborate why you’ve included it on the list?

We live for feverish disagreement. :)

It's on the list for all the folks that think it's okay to take their shoes and socks off in economy and wave their feet around. Or even walk around the aisle without shoes (or worse, to the lavatory). If you're snoozing in the privacy of first class...this one can be worked around thoughtfully.

Thanks for reading.

I don’t get Rule 5.

Hi Surbhi. This refers to when we see travelers take their shoes off on the plane and put them on seats, or rest them on the wall of the bulkhead. Keep them on the floor!

Ohh! Its relaxing to take off shoes and cross your legs on a flight 🙃

#12 can also include a Bloody Mary and probably should be #1

'Commandments' is a perfect way to put it. Might have to update the title...

Thanks for reading, Claire!
