The real villain of the skies isn\u2019t the humble\u00a0Armrest<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 it\u2019s the reclining seat, and on almost every long-haul flight, you can spot two indignant travelers locked in a battle over a reclining chair.<\/p>\n

Most passengers are careful about how they position themselves on the plane. However, there is still one group of people who insist upon reclining as soon they get off the plane.<\/p>\n

But according to behavior expert\u00a0Judi James, it\u2019s not our fault.<\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t to blame for our bad behavior \u2013 the airline is.<\/p>\n

“It is the designer\u2019s fault because they\u2019ve made the chairs recline,” James shared.<\/p>\n

“This appears to give the airline\u2019s permission for you to recline, so we immediately step outside of etiquette and assume it\u2019s our right to do it – because it\u2019s what this chair does. <\/p>\n

It is giving us the freedom to act rude.”<\/p>\n

That said, there is a difference in the mindset of those who recline before the meal \u2013 the so-called \u2018travel warriors.’<\/p>\n

Judi said: “They are the type who has to get there first and go for everything \u2013 their attitude is that as long as they\u2019re alright then it doesn\u2019t matter about others.<\/p>\n

These must not be people with empathy and mental disconnections.<\/p>\n

She said, “The strategy is to occupy as much space possible. Then they will have the upper hand. Any space that requires to be reclaimed must be negotiated with them.<\/p>\n

“There is no sense of negotiation, it\u2019s a case of \u2018I\u2019ve won it, you\u2019ve got to win it back.<\/p>\n

“If someone wants to reclaim that space, they have to argue with you or get the cabin crew to tell you to move, and they\u2019ll feel very vindicated about this, so they\u2019ll almost mentally be punching the air.”<\/p>\n

How and when should you recline your chair?<\/h3>\n

Etiquette expert\u00a0William Hanson<\/a>\u00a0believes that there is only one acceptable moment\u00a0when it can be moved, and it has to be done in a certain way.<\/p>\n

“Reclining seats are part and parcel of going on an aircraft, so if you don\u2019t like it then don\u2019t fly – take a boat, drive or take business class,” Hanson said.<\/p>\n

“However, there is a time and place for it \u2013 it should always take place after the meal has been cleared.<\/p>\n

“If you aren\u2019t particularly comfortable with upright seats, then book a seat right at the back of the cabin where you won\u2019t bother anyone.”<\/p>\n

William believes it’s important to always check with your partner before you lie down.<\/p>\n

He stated, “Have confidence to ask.” Even if it is a bit annoying, the fact you\u2019ve asked means that the other person is likely to say it\u2019s fine … even if they are livid inside.”<\/p>\n
