Behave Well at the Airport
The airport is the world's first impression of you. Specific things to NOT do.
Be a Considerate Flyer (Inside the Cabin)
30,000 feet, 300 strangers, one cabin. Specific things to NOT do.
Respect Immigration
Be honest, be calm, be brief. The officer holds the rest of your trip.
Queue & Respect Personal Space
Stand in line, leave a gap, don't touch strangers — global baseline of public conduct.
Keep Your Voice Down
Public transport, restaurants, lobbies — your conversation isn't a soundtrack for strangers.
Clean Up After Yourself
Carry your trash. Sort it right. Leave every space cleaner than you found it.
Be Punctual
On time means on time. Late by 10 minutes is late, not 'standard'.
Photograph with Consent
People aren't tourist attractions. Always ask before photographing locals.
Tip Where Tipping Is Expected
In the US, tipping is wage. In Japan, it's an insult. Know the local norm.
Be a Respectful Hotel Guest
Housekeepers, front desk staff, and other guests all share your space.
Civic in Taxis & Rideshares
The driver is doing a job, not a favour. Be punctual, polite, and tip where customary.
Sort and Recycle
Germany has five bins. Japan has rules per district. Learn the system.
