Article: Sometimes when the boarding call is announced, many passengers think it's appropriate to jump up and get inline first. Relax and remember that your seat is reserved for you. The plane still needs to board special needs, children and first class passengers before the line even budges. If you are in economy, it's important to exercise patients and wait in-line. You will eventually get seated. To save the time of the airline, other people and yourself, it's important to have your ticket ready to go and not at the bottom of your carry on luggage. It's a good idea to say "thank-you" and respond clearly and warmly if and when the flight attendant welcomes you on board. Try reading their name badge and when they say something like " Good-Morning Mr Smith, Welcome aboard; Your seat is 4 rows down on the left", reply with something like " Thank-you for your help Gloria, I hope to see you during the flight sometime", rather than the common " Thanks" or in some cases nothing at all.

Be patient. Have your boarding pass ready. Speak clearly and politely.
Article: Although the hips are easier to measure by yourself than other areas of the body, a mirror will help you ensure the tape is not twisted or uneven. Therefore, stand in front of one to get your measurement. Remove your outer garments, such as your pants and shirt. You can leave on thin underwear and still obtain an accurate measurement. Wearing jeans or anything else too bulky will change the measurement. If you always wear the same bulky clothes, you can leave them on if you're just measuring to judge how much weight you've lost. However, if you're measuring for a pattern or clothes, it's important to be as accurate as possible. Having your feet apart can create a measurement that's actually larger than your hip area. Put your feet together to take the measurement. At the very least, your feet shouldn't be wider than your shoulders, but together is better. Your natural waist is the smallest part of your torso, where your body dips in. Your hips are below that, and they are usually wider than your waist. Your hip measurement includes your butt and your hips. Your hip measurements should be taken at where your hips are the widest. That's because when you're taking measurements, you're trying to get an accurate representation of your body, and the hips represent the widest point on your bottom half. For clothes to fit accurately, you need to find the widest point. Once you have your tape measure in place, you may need to move up or down an inch or two to find the widest spot.
