Fasten your seat belt immediately after sitting in your seat on the airplane. The only time you should remove your safety belt is when you getting up from your seat to use the restroom.

Pull the adjustable straps until the belt is firmly on your hips. Having your seat belt high and across your stomach can cause organ perforation should the plane suddenly jolt.
