The US Transportation Department has launched a "civility campaign" to promote good behavior on flights and at airports during the holiday travel season. The campaign, called "The Golden Age of Travel Starts with You," urges passengers to dress with respect, say thank you to flight attendants and pilots, and help others, among other things. The department cites a rise in bad behavior on board, with 13,800 incidents of unruly passengers since 2021 and a 400% increase in in-flight outbursts since 2019.
