A4: Recline if the lights are out and everyone is trying to sleep, but put your seat up during meals. And never slam your seat back: https://t.co/o0B6gJI6vi #TravelSkills

@JohnnyJet @united I bring a blanket or a warm coat to serve as a blanket because the one airline gives you is usually not enough for me, also socks to change into

A3: Longest non-stop was probably LAX-SYD. 7 movies later, you arrive :) #TravelSkills https://t.co/5dhh4gj0VX

#A4 I believe the wisdom is not during meal service, and not without a polite glance to make sure you won't be knocking something over. #travelskills https://t.co/e2mXYMI112

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4: Well, I suppose I’m more tolerant of it on an overnight flight in Y. F or J, sure. Generally speaking, there’s not enough room in Y to recline anymore. #TravelSkills

replying to @godsavethepoint @godsavethepoint I want to try that but I would miss taking zillions of pics of my inflight food! My fave pastime on a flight...in addition to watching the moving map! #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united TIP If you must recline, do so politely and slowly. Don’t push back suddenly or you could break a laptop or spill a drink! #TravelSkills

@cjmcginnis A4: A couple of years ago, the jerk in front of me reclined into my lap. Repeatedly. She really wanted to die. I believe that.
But just think of how you'd feel if the person in front of you reclined too far. Or just ask! #TravelSkills

A4: Minimal gain in comfort. For me, it actually becomes less comfortable. And, may increase pain for person behind you. So, probably a net-negative action. #TravelSkills https://t.co/Q6ur6N7ouO

@travelskills @united Brize Norton to Mount Pleasant in the Falkland Islands, with a quick refuel in Ascension - 18 hours in all.
As beautiful as the Falklands are, I’d never fly that duration again.

replying to @united @united A4 If reclining seats enrage you, pay extra for an exit row or bulkhead seat. You’ll be glad you did! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills Long Haul - You bet. Short, I see how big the person is behind me. No need to make them feel more cramped then the already do. #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole A3. A MESSAGE FROM A FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Delays/diversions happen. Pack snacks. Even a short flight can turn into a long flight. Flight crew can't blink their eyes and POOF - make food magically appear. Also, we're hungry too. We have family too. #TravelSkills
