Given Flight Centre gave this advice, I thought I'd give my cut... some simple rules for people to be civilised when flying...
1. Do not congregate in doorwells or in the middle of airport areas, you're in the way. Move off to the side. There are other people about.
2. Take all metal off your person put it in your hand luggage, don't take liquids unless you have to. Few people are more reviled than the halfwits who don't know what security will pick up, that typically means anyone who doesn't fly often. Here's an idea just don't carry very much.
3. Stand well away from the boarding area at the gate. You almost certainly wont be first to board. You almost certainly haven't paid for that privilege or earned it. Let the people who subsidise the cheap seats get on first, and of course those needing assistance. You'll appreciate this when you're in the front.
4. Don't ever go forward into a cabin above your class. Only people in those cabins can go back for exercise. Again, you will appreciate this when you're in the front. The same applies when flying business class and there is a first class cabin, you can't go there either.
5. If there isn't space in the overhead locker, put it under your seat. Take less next time, most people take too much.
6. Don't complain if you didn't pre-select your seat, it's called bad planning. The person who chose the aisle or window is unlikely to want to move.
7. If you don't like the room at your seat, then remember you could have paid more and not travelled like freight. The price of business class today is similar in real terms to economy class 25 years ago, and there are often options for premium economy or extra legroom. Otherwise, appreciate that your discomfort leaves you money to spend on something else.
8. Don't take your shoes off unless you have a shoe bag, otherwise you'll stink out the person above where your shoes are.
9. Stay in your cabin till the people in the front have disembarked, see rule 4.
10. Children are feared by other travellers unless they are at least school age, quiet and easily mesmerised by the individual TVs.

I like the way they will trample over your body, in the rush to get out. People do take a lot of stuff into the cabin, but we have had
had stow away luggage broken into three times at Bangkok. you lose your external hard drives and your are going to sweat.
