How not get Blacklisted on your Flight to the Dream Destinations?

The term “Blacklisted” means your names, especially multiple names, on the “TSA No Fly List” for security purposes.

Speaking on that, getting a “blacklisted” or listed on a “TSA No Fly List” can wreak havoc on you, especially when you try to check in for your flight to your dream trip. The check-in agent has told you that you can’t board the flight on a specific airline. I know that it can be inconvenient for you, but there are ways to fix it’s a mistake if you are not a threat to the airline.

This blog will explain why it is an essential topic for travelers, especially those who like to travel on planes. So do I love to travel on planes too? Overall, you might also think this is an important lesson to learn to recap and refresh your mind. Take a minute to read through and understand how not to land into hot water, banning you from flying and force to drive/sail to faraway places. I don’t want these to happen again to you or your family/friends.

Why some passengers, especially famous names and allies, maybe “Blacklisted?”

There are various reasons why some passengers are blacklisted:

• Performing unruly/disorderly conduct
  • Urinating/defecating out in public or wrong circumstances other than toilet
  • Opening the plane’s door
  • Running down the aisle
  • Shouting, yelling, screaming
  • Making outburst or acting up
  • Engaging in horseplay
• Fighting/brawling
• Making racial slurs
• Making terroristic threats
  • Saying “Hi Jack” when greeting Jack is illegal on airport/planes. Instead, say, “Hello Jackson.”
  • Saying any illegal words or phases
  • Gaining access to cockpit without pilot’s authorization or permission
• Talking about politics
• Graffitiing/vandalizing on any of airline’s/plane’s property
• Appearing intoxicated or drug dependence
  • Alcohol/drugs and air rage are interrelated
• Smoking/Vaping
  • Smoking/vaping are banned on all flights under any circumstances
• Tampering with the smoke detector in lavatory
• Dressing inappropriately from wearing an offensive to revealing clothing
  • This includes inappropriate/offensive tattoos (must cover-up)
• Assaulting someone, especially when a passenger seated next to someone
  • Harassing anyone
• Performing any sexual acts
  • This includes indecent exposure or inappropriate touching
• Refusing to wear a mask completely (Temporary order for COVID-19)

Hey folks, calm down, take a deep breath before your flight. Your mind will thank you.

Notable cases:

1. One famous case was Snoop Dogg, who permanently banned flying on British Airways after his brawl at Heathrow’s lounge area. As per policies, the lounge area is supposed to relax and recharge, not to get rowdy. If you start to act up, you will be banned not only on the airline’s lounge but for all flights on particular airlines infinitely. You can refer to policies on Airline’s Lounge here. (The blog is an excellent suggestion from United Club as an example).
2. Another case was Guillaume Boutin, whose allegation cursed under her breath after missing the flight started to act out. He claims that “Air Canada was misinformation about his flight time” and began to threaten the Air Canada staff member. So the airline decided to backlist him infinitely.
3. Tom Washington started to expose his inappropriate tattoos around indecent exposure. He showed his Pinocchio not only for himself but to flash himself, laughing. Then he told a lie about the tattoo, though it was a joke. It was not that kind of joke when he showed off his tattoo around the cabin on Jet2 after going to “expose himself.” Then he immediately gets off the plane once it’s landed and earned a “lifetime ban” on all Jet2 flights.

These behaviors are not tolerated under any circumstances, and any behavior will get you delisted from flying from specific to all airlines for a particular period. In some cases, if the behavior turns violent, the airline can ban you from scrambling for life. So again, it is essential to note that these behaviors are not acceptable, and you could go to jail, pay restitution to victims, and order to undergo a mandatory court-order rehabilitation program.

What can I do to avoid being blacklisted:

• Learn how to manage your behavior.
• Read through the airline’s contract of carriage, especially with the behavior.
• It is best to fly with someone if you believe that your behavior is unstable.
• If you are taking a prescription, don’t order any alcohol. Order non-alcohol drinks, soda, water, juice, or coffee instead.
• If you are drinking alcohol, it is best to know your limits.
• Or, you can completely opt for soda, water, coffee, or juice.
  • Males – no more than 2 drinks
  • Females – no more than 1 drink
  • I believe that alcohol inference with behavioral thinking led to aggressive behavior and disturbance to the flight’s safety.
• Relax. The airport and flight are supposed to be a relaxing and soothing environment.
  • Please, behave yourself. Passengers/flight attendants like to relax on planes, so you should relax. Don’t act up.
  • Take a deep breath.

Still, there is no guarantee that your names may be in or out of the denylist, depending on security purposes. Therefore, it is vital to reach the TSA for more information when you specifically book your airline flight. That’s the way you don’t want your dream trips to turn into a nightmare. If the TSA/DHS is mistaken that your name is placed onto “no-fly-list,” denied boarding your flight, or other related issues, you can visit at https://www.dhs.gov/step-1-should-i-use-dhs-trip.

Warning: If you misbehave on a plane, at the airport, or any governmental place, you are subject to a hefty fine of more than $37,000, land you 20 years in federal prison, forced you to pay hefty restitution, and banned you from flying. Do not act up. This blog will thank you.
