Before you embark on your holiday flights, consider rules on how to do it without offending fellow travelers. First, don’t be noisy in your seat. For your portable electronic device, use earphones for listening and talk moderately to seatmates.

Mind your manners. Don't push seat back unless you ask and receive permission from the person behind you. Don't overflow the armrests. Relax without pushing arms, legs, smelly feet and butt against seatmates.

Bathe before leaving home or hotel to fly, then put on clean clothes and footwear. Some nice-smelling powder and deodorant can enhance your positive presence. Keep shoes and socks on during flight, especially if your feet tend to perspire.

After many accidents and at least one fatality, the Asian city-state popular tourist destination now forbids riding e-scooters on sidewalks. New enforcements say "Those caught riding on e-scooters on footpaths will be liable for a fine of $1,472 (SGD$2000) and, or, jail up to three months.

Scooters are no longer allowed on sidewalks in France, but with more moderate fines for violators at just $150 (135 euros).
