First Janice Hough shared her thoughts on entitled travelers.
Then, Christopher Elliott enlightened us about the traveler whose letter to an elite passenger was published in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. So, now it’s my turn to talk entitlement.
This Thanksgiving, I’m declaring that the “pain in the butt” passenger is going out of style. I know there still are many of them out there, but the number of polite, grateful and helpful passengers around the world is growing by the minute. Some airlines and airport personnel are also seeing the benefits in joining this more positive movement. Evidently, kindness is contagious too.
As the madness of holiday travel begins, join the movement by entering the crowded spaces with a spirit of patience, compassion, and oh yeah, Thanksgiving.
Spread the spirit. Travel Gracefully.
