The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a trade association that helps establish standards and policies for most major airlines. Here's their definition of an "unruly or disruptive passenger":
1. This person is definitely failing to "respect the rules of conduct":
Not looking forward to sharing the armrest with this... #passengershaming
2. Looks a lot like "disturbing good order" to me:
@WestJet how would you tell him that this is gross? He is on the same flight as Gregg Saretsky! #passengershaming
3. My safety would certainly feel compromised in this situation:
Hey that's a great pedicure, thanks for sharing! Now get it off my armrest. #passengershaming #plane #travel… https://t.co/6jQ3Q9871m
4. I'm no lawyer, but acts like these "may or do jeopardize the safety of the aircraft," in my opinion:
OTD four years ago. (BOS-LAX) #passengershaming
5. And harm "persons or property therein."
LAX-NRT $450 fare but feelin for guy in 19A whos got this unsupervsd kid in 19B #passengershaming @united ua33… https://t.co/ny7XGhIuee
6. Not sure if this counts as "intimidation or threat, whether physical or verbal," but it certainly feels aggressive:
#passengershaming Say hello to my toe 😤
7. This must "interfere with the performance of the duties of the crew members," right?
From our last flight... Unless this dude was using toe Braille, this is unacceptable. @PassengerShame… https://t.co/KJXzWLDOGm
8. And it absolutely " lessens the ability of the crew members to perform those duties."
#passengershaming @AirCanada
9. At the very least, we can make a case for this "intentionally causing damage to, or destruction of, property."
Keep your stinky feet to yourselves please ... #passengershaming #travel #airlines https://t.co/EeRlOkhRLc
10. Or maybe as a "physical confrontation with crew members or other passengers."
Oh hell no. #flyingfeet #passengershaming
11. At the very least, this could be considered "other type of riotous behavior."
Eww get those outta here! #passengershaming @RenesPoints
12. What are the consequences of this behavior? Well, "trauma to passengers and crew" sounds about right.
This is exactly what I want to see for the next 4hrs... #passengershaming
13. And "trauma resulting in crew member illness or absenteeism" because who'd want to sit next to this for an entire flight:
Dear society, Writing to let you know that this is unacceptable & gross. Regards, Normal People #PassengerShaming
14. This could certainly cause "diversions and delays."
Pantyhose feet = barefeet. Gross. Going back to be a long 13 hour flight. #passengershaming
15. And "negative publicity."
It must be this flight! More crusty feet for the return home. #passengershaming https://t.co/5m3TogsqFC
16. But aside from the IATA regulations, there's more at stake here: basic human decency.
Creepy-crusty feet #passengershaming https://t.co/dLWxFr2Ozo
17. Call me old-fashioned, but I think we should all be able to get through a flight without having to touch a stranger's bare feet.
#passengershaming @PassengerShame Wanderful relax... Vueling Airlines Fuerteventura-Barcelona
18. Or smell them.
OK guys, here it is. #DONTHATEME #passengershaming #flyingfeet #ihatepeople @instagram: https://t.co/tShxiuDvtv
19. Or even just look at them, really.
No.. No. NO and no.. #passengershaming @passengershaming
20. We don't need the Tokyo Convention of 1963 to help prevent something like this from happening:
Odvratno. #passengershaming Više o ovom pročitajte na https://t.co/wFP9uVK9Vz
21. Or the Montreal Protocol of 2014 to ensure our comfort and safety aboard a commercial flight...

22. We just need to remind ourselves to be aware of our surroundings...
Omg found this online...#flyingplank #avgeek #crewlife #flying #airline #flyingfeet #feetclass #traveltips
23. And to be considerate of other people... to really respect one another's space...
