Grab the mask after it drops from the overhead compartment. The oxygen masks drop down automatically if the plane loses cabin pressure.
Place the mask over your nose and mouth. Place the elastic piece on the mask around your ears and back of your head.
Breathe normally. Breathing too fast or slow can cause dizziness or blackouts. Air is flowing and there is no need to breathe quickly.
Grab a second mask if traveling with a child or a companion that needs help. The adult should always put on an oxygen mask first, working quickly and confidently with precision before putting a mask on a child.
Put the mask over the child's mouth and nose and pull the elastic over his ears and behind his head.
