Tips for air travel:
1. Don't bring up terrorism or bombs.
2. If a disagreement with anyone arises and is settled, don't bring it up again.
3. Be polite and humble, particularly whilst on the actual plane.
4. Do not accuse anyone of lying. It's confrontational and leads to conflict. Instead assume miscommunication, apologize & clarify.
5. Don't accuse anyone of threatening you. It's confrontational and leads to conflict. Instead assume miscommunication, apologize & clarify.
- sokoloff 14y agoSurprised so few people are keying in on point #2. That to me is the key point where the blogger went awry, was entirely within his own control to avoid and if he'd done so, no one gets kicked off the flight. I understand the "well, it wasn't settled ACCORDING TO ME, so I want to clarify" mentality, but if you can't control that urge, don't be surprised to find that you escalate your way into situations like this.
