- don't drink the water or water-based products (coffee, tea): the water tanks on an airplane accumulate grime and fungus and are notoriously hard to properly clean. look for bottled water.
- some airlines require you to open the window shades when landing and taking off due to "safety" regulations. it's actually to allow passengers to enjoy the view.
edit: based on the majority response, seems I'm wrong about the window thing. it is a requirement so that the crew can check for safety in case of emergency and they need to use the emergency exits. you never stop learning, they say.
