He who reclines must do so slowly, and not during the meal
Thou shall not kick back of seat
Thou shall not remove socks
Thou shall not bring smelly foods

Thou shall not crowd aisle after landing
Thou shall not fart

He who sits next to the window controls the window
He who sits next to the aisle must allow passage
He who sits middle gets armrest priority but must not abuse privileges, for he hath suffered enough
