For many tourists, the plane journey is the most stressful part of a holiday. Luckily, an etiquette expert has shared the rules for getting on and off the plane.<\/p>\n
Jo Bryant, a leading etiquette expert, shared her top tips for flying with the travel experts at SkyParkSecure.<\/p>\n
When it comes to boarding time, British tourists are usually divided on the correct behaviour. Some tourists rush to be first in the queue while others prefer to sit back and relax until the line is short.<\/p>\n
But what\u2019s the correct choice?<\/p>\n
Jo said: \u201cSome people like to be in the queue promptly before the gate opens, whereas others like to board the plane later on.<\/p>\n

More info<\/p>\n There\u2019s usually a similar debate when it comes to getting off the plane. While some passengers rush to disembark, others like to wait until the end of the process.<\/p>\n Jo said: \u201cThe rule is simple. Wait your turn but be ready. Have your things packed up and help others who are trying to reach for bags in the overhead lockers.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen it\u2019s time to get off, let people out from some of the rows immediately in front of you as you move down the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n Although anxious flyers are often the most eager to get off the plane quickly, Jo said that\u2019s no excuse to push.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cSpend the extra (money) on a seat near the door rather than pushing or barging your way down the aisle.\u201d<\/p>\n Jo also shared her rules for reclining a seat on a plane and warned passengers to stop clapping when the plane lands.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/25\/590x\/secondary\/TRAVEL-Boarding-plane-4963955.jpg?r=1694943234683\")
