Q: Could you please let women know that short dresses plus reaching into the overhead compartment do not mix? A girl in front of me flashed half the plane retrieving her bags because she was wearing a flouncy little slip dress.

A: Consider it done. (And while you're at it, wear pants you can bend over in without exposing yourself. You too, guys.)

Q: Now that I am 80 and a slow walker, my daughter arranged for me to have wheelchair service on my recent trip to visit her. Some rides were short and uncomplicated. Others were long and/or complex, involving clearing immigration and customs or security. I had no idea what a proper tip should be, or even if a tip was required. I need your advice for my next trip -- what are the rules?

Q: How loud can you talk in a bed-and-breakfast (in your room, with the door closed, at midnight)? The guest in the room next door to my wife and me complained to the innkeeper. She said she's a light sleeper and we kept her up. We were just having a normal conversation!

Q: I had a devil of a time trying to get a cab to take me from downtown Manhattan to LaGuardia. It was rush hour, and raining. Three different cabs stopped, asked me my destination, then drove away when I said LGA! Are they really permitted to do that? I almost missed my flight.

Q: It really bugs me when a waiter clears my appetizer plate but takes my knife and fork off and places them back on the table. Aren't you supposed to get new silverware with each course?

Q: My sister-in-law still wears the same string bikini she wore 10 years ago when she was in college. The problem is, she's about 30 pounds heavier now, and it looks terrible. We're all about to go on a cruise together, and I'd like to say something, but I don't know how. I know I'd want to know if I looked that bad, but I'm afraid I'll insult her.

Q: Could you please tell people to quit letting their little kids go in the ocean naked? It's just gross.

Q: I figure driving etiquette falls under travel etiquette. Last night, I was on a two-lane road that was reduced to one lane due to construction. Despite many signs saying, "Use both lanes to merge point," everybody was moving over well before, so there was one lane of bumper-to-bumper traffic and one completely empty lane.

Q: If I have dinner in Paris with European colleagues, will I look gauche if I use my knife and fork the American way (holding the fork in my right hand, except when I'm using the knife) instead of European style (holding in my left hand all the time)?

Q: Am I being a diva if I complain about really slow hotel wifi? A friend who travels a lot more than I do says it's pretty much the norm, but I think if a hotel advertises high-speed wifi, it ought to be faster than the 14.4 modem I had in college.
