It depends on the situation you're in...
...If you're in a business meeting, for example, excuse yourself if you can. If you cannot, then just hold it in. Sometimes you have to accept inconveniences in life.
...If you're riding in a car with someone else, if you're able to roll down the window, expel your gas just before rolling down the window.
...If you're on a date, hold it in until you can get to a bathroom. (Personally, I've told dates to just let it on out. I love a girl that has no shame in her game...*lol*)
If you have to ATTEMPT to let one out quietly, lean over, so that one butt cheek is pressed against the chair, and the other cheek is raised. That increases the odds that it'll be silent.
If your fart is heard, the best thing to do is absolutely nothing, regardless of whether others knew it was you. Manners experts will even tell you that.

If you pass gas in public and someone notices that it was you, say "excuse me" and move on. Don't call extra attention to yourself. If you are in a crowded room and no one can tell it's you, just keep on going...there is no need to stop, drop, and honor the passing of the flatulence.
Passing gas is a biological function. Sometimes, passing it in public happens and if *you* handle it with maturity, people around you will usually act mature in turn and let it go.

The best way, is to start a farting contest, with the winner collecting the prize. Hopefully, you will lose, and all the attention will be placed on the winner.

I would just excuse myself and go to another room or laugh it off? It's natural everyone does it. If you feel like you have too much gas I would look at your diet and stay away from fast food or other things that can give you gas.

If you are in a situation where you cannot leave the room, cough when you do it. If anyone hears just look at the person stood next to you with disgust, everyone else will think its them.

simply get up and go to wash room ,now here u can blast off. if u r caught in midst (heard) while sitting with others simply say sorry with a smile, I'm confident it would work.

of course not through the mouth that's gross. try to excuse yourself and go to the bathroom or any room where you are the only one there. when you do it in front of everyone that's double gross!! as they say there is no turning back, just try to smile your way!!

if its heard just say sorry and leave as soon as possible. try to let it out quietly and act as nothing has happened, but when someone notices it say yer i thought i smelt something but my nose has been a bit blocked teh last few days.
