## Resource

Maybe it’s the aisle seat passenger who reaches across you to adjust the window shade. Or the stranger who wants to trade your carefully selected seat for their middle seat in the last row. How about the tuna-and-egg sandwich enthusiast who seems oblivious to the issue in an enclosed space? These are the scenarios that test even the most patient traveler's resolve. In this episode, host Angie Orth is back with Nick Leighton and Leah Bonnema, co-hosts of the etiquette podcast Were You Raised By Wolves? Together, they count down the top five trickiest air travel etiquette dilemmas—the ones that spark the most heated debates and leave polite travelers wondering what's actually acceptable. You'll hear their verdict on bringing pungent food aboard, strategies for deflecting chatty seatmates without being rude, and why you're never obligated to give up your seat. They'll settle the window shade war once and for all, explain the concept of staying in your bubble, and share the single most important reminder every passenger needs before boarding.
