That is one of my biggest pet peeves—people listening to their phones or tablets in public without headphones. I think it’s rude at any age and definitely never allow my kids to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926440 Sat, 12 Mar 2022 20:56:06 +0000 mrswin 2926440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: That’s a hard no for me - not ok at all. The parents should have brought headphones so that the kids aren’t disturbing others.<br /> I will say I have been on the plane with adults who do this too… I will never understand. I don’t want to spend a 2.5 hour flight listening to the person beside me play Candy Crush 🤦‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926439 Sat, 12 Mar 2022 20:32:33 +0000 erinbaderin 2926439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hijacking your thread for another airplane etiquette question - I’m currently on a plane where kids in both the row behind me and the row across from me are watching shows on tablets without headphones. Is this ok? I would never let my kids do it and it’s making me insane but there was a kid behind me on the flight in doing it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926415 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 16:15:39 +0000 Meso 2926415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: thanks! yes, would have them put on their shoes when walking or going to the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926413 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 14:51:12 +0000 Lahela017 2926413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with others. I wouldn't think twice about it. Just have them put their shoes back on if they walk to the bathroom or something. If they are in their seat, I don't think most people would even notice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926412 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 14:45:18 +0000 Meso 2926412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: @Corduroy: great! thank you! my kids like taking off their shoes on a long car drive, and i think they'll want to/be more comfortable without shoes on our long flight. will just make sure they keep their feet to themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926409 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 14:00:37 +0000 hellobeeboston 2926409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's totally fine, especially if it's a long flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926408 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 12:27:06 +0000 Corduroy 2926408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken my kids shoes off before because they end up kicking the seat in front of them occasionally - even when they're trying their best and I'm watching them closely. I find taking the shoes off lessens the impact of the occasional kick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926407 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 11:02:37 +0000 Meso 2926407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926406 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 10:26:36 +0000 Chuckles 2926406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as their shoes aren't getting into other people's areas and they aren't sticking their feet by strangers, I wouldn't think twice if kids had their shoes off, especially on a longer flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airplane-etiquette#post-2926405 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 18:43:27 +0000 Meso 2926405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As an adult, I wouldn't take my shoes off while on a plane, but what are your thoughts on a child doing it, ages 5 and 8. Just wondering what the proper etiquette is? </p>
