Your safe trip You need to be aware of what you can do to insure a safe journey, taking into account that anything can happen before, during and after the flight. In this section we made an attempt to provide you guidelines with a focus on safety. What to wear Wear sensible clothing to reduce your chances of serious injury in the unlikely event of an emergency. Wear clothes made of natural fabrics such as cotton, wool, denim or leather. Synthetics may melt when heated. Dress to cover as much skin as possible. Wear clothing that is roomy, avoiding restrictive clothing. Wear low-heeled, leather or canvas shoes. Carry-on baggage Think small, smart and safe. Check with airline on size and number of carry-on bags allowed. Keep essentials such as prescriptions, personal hygiene items, passports, important documents and valuables (jewelry or cameras) in your carry-on bag. Plan to check in more of your baggage and carry on less. Be safety conscious when stowing baggage. Stow heavy items under the seat in front of you, not overhead. Don’t stack items in the overhead bin. Don’t be a bin hog. Don’t overstuff the overhead bin. In case of an emergency evacuation leave your belongings behind. Passenger safety information Review the passenger safety card before takeoff and landing. Listen carefully to the safety briefing. Be able to locate emergency exits both in front and behind you. Count the rows between you and the nearest front and rear exits. Locate the flotation device. Make a mental plan of action in case of emergency. Exit row seating You must be physically capable and willing to perform emergency actions when seated in emergency or exit rows. If you are not, ask for another seat. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the emergency evacuation techniques outlined on the written safety instructions. Ask questions if instructions are unclear. Cellular phones, computer games, scanners and laptops The Federal and National Aviation Associations ban cellular phones for airborne use because its signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments. Radios, scanners and televisions are also prohibited. Laptops and other personal electronic devices, such as hand-held computer games and CD players, are also restricted to use above 10,000 feet owing to concerns they could interfere with aircraft instrumentation. In any case, all cellular phones, laptops and other electronic devices must be switched off during takeoff and landing, including the standby mode of these devices. Unruly passengers Interference with the duties of any crewmember is a violation of federal law. Any unruly passenger risks a fine that could range up to $25,000 per violation in addition to criminal penalties. The FBI, federal enforcement agencies, airlines, crewmembers and aviation associations have combined to vigorously pursue prosecution, which has resulted in imprisonment already. Fire or Smoke Use wet napkin or handkerchief over nose and mouth Move away from fire and smoke. Stay low. Evacuation Leave your possessions behind Stay low. Proceed to the nearest front or rear exit – count the rows between your seat and the exits. Follow floor lighting to exit. Jump feet first onto evacuation slide. Don’t sit down to slide. Place arms across your chest, elbows in, and legs and feet together. Remove high-heeled shoes. Exit the aircraft and clear the area. Remain alert for emergency vehicles. Never return to a burning aircraft.
