JetBlue`s “Every Flight Wisdom” seatback guide features colorful illustrations with light-hearted yet meaningful suggestions that customers can adopt to be savvy, comfortable, nice and safe while in the air.
“In this busy, often stressful world, our “air-tiquette” card is a gentle reminder that it`s the little things that count and make the world a better place for everyone,” said David Neeleman, CEO of JetBlue. “The “Every Flight Wisdom” guide, along with our friendly crews, 24 channels of DIRECTV and all-leather seats, help make every JetBlue flight even more enjoyable.”
Some of JetBlue`s in-flight etiquette tips, include:
—Be Nice. Introduce yourself. Say “excuse me” and use your own seat to get up. Keep the aircraft clean.

—Be Savvy. Pack your own meal. Plug In. Enjoy DIRECTV. 24 channels. 24 smiles.

—Be Comfortable. Stretch out. Relax. But be considerate of those around you.

—Be Safe. Pay attention. Buckle up. Try to keep your feet out of the aisle.
The cards are now onboard all JetBlue flights, ahead of the busy Labor Day travel weekend.
