From the February 12, 2008 edition of The New York Times, appearing in the Business Section
"There are ways to avoid such awkward moments. On an airline, excuse yourself from the conversation and put on your headphones, says Paul A. Tucci, chief operating officer of a software developer, Iwerk, in Royal Oak, Mich.
Mr. Tucci, who wrote Traveling Everywhere: How to Survive a Global Business Trip, is an expert in avoiding people he doesn t want to talk to on planes. He provides this advice: Make up the name of the hotel, if asked, and never give out your cellphone number or e-mail address. Just smile, be caring and assertive and say, Why don t you give me yours, and if I have time, I ll e-mail you, and be done with it.
If necessary, he suggests, switch to an empty seat on the plane. --The New York Times
