In this insightful episode Louise Percy delves into the often-overlooked world of in-flight etiquette, inspired by her recent journey from Perth to Sydney on Qantas. Drawing from her observations, she highlights the importance of kindness and cooperation among passengers, while also addressing the less desirable behaviours that can arise in the confined space of an aircraft.

Louise shares heartwarming anecdotes of fellow travellers assisting one another, as well as candid discussions with cabin crew about their experiences managing passenger interactions. From the significance of making eye contact during meal service to the unspoken rules of armrest sharing, she provides practical tips for enhancing the flying experience for everyone on board.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into how to navigate social dynamics in close quarters, the importance of showing respect to cabin crew, and the potential for kindness to foster a more pleasant atmosphere in the skies. Join Louise as she encourages us all to be more considerate and empathetic, reminding us that a little courtesy can go a long way while travelling.
