A TRAVEL guru has proposed three rules for one of the most controversial flying issues - seat reclining. When and how you relax back could cause a cabin commotion , but flight attendant and travel writer Niccolo Serratt has offered advice on how to follow a reclining rule book. 4 Seat reclining has proved problematic for many passengers 4 A flight expert has now put together a three-step guide for the move Credit: Getty The issue has become so contentious that some airlines have totally scrapped reclining.

With philosophies differing over how to best deal with the polarising issue, Conde Nast Traveler plane pundit Niccolo has put forward three steps every passenger should follow. He cites a view from a fellow flight attendant from a Middle Eastern carrier, who said: "Sure, you paid for the seat and its functionality, so yes, by all means, recline. "However, passengers need to listen to the safety spiel and erect it when told to do so, like for meal service, taxi, take-off, and landing.



" Niccolo has devised something of a seat reclining doctrine. The first rule is to be courteous and ask the passenger behind you, he says. This is compared to "knock(ing) on the door" rather than inviting yourself in.

Niccolo's second commandment is not to recline while meals are being served because it makes it difficult for the traveller behind you to eat. Most read in Travel TRAGIC END Body found on Greek island is TV star says police who identified him by watch MONEY TALKS EFL club weighing .
