I recently flew with Air India from Swampy to Delhi and it was the worst flight that I have even been on .

   80 % of the passengers were groups of Indian "Uncles" , different groups of 10-20 men and they all seemed to be returning for a week in Pattaya .

   They just couldn't sit still , it was constant commotion and noise , moving about and calling the steward relentlessly .

   I was in the aisle seat and as soon as we landed, before the plane even stopped , the India guy next to me asked me whether I was just going to just  sit there and not get off the place . I told him  that we couldn't get off the plane until the doors had opened and that would be about another ten minutes , but he was insistent that he wanted to stand in the aisle waiting for the doors to open 

 

I once flew Air India from LHR to BKK, about 20 years ago. It was so horrendous I never showed up for the return, and booked a different airline. (There weren't any no-show charges back then!)

 

You couldn't pay me to get on an Air India flight ever again.

Somewhere, there's an Indian guy complaining about how constrained he was on a flight because nobody was allowed to get up and chat and have fun.  It is a holiday, after all.

 

On any aircraft it is recommended that you sit in your assigned seat with your seat belt fastened, unless you are going to the toilet etc, this is for safety.

You must be aware of several incidents quite recently where aircraft have gone thru severe turbulence and people have been severely injured, even a death occurred! Turbulence can occur very quickly and the pilots do no have time to illuminate the fasten seat belt light

Believe what you want, a penalty of flying budget airlines.

On my flight, cabin staff were too busy seeling stuff to be bothered about passenger behaviour.

The days of good manners and politeness are considered by some to be a relic of the past but educated people realise this is the basis of moulding a civilized society.

Ewwww - "educated people."  Now there is a civilized lot, 'eh?  I see we are feeling our superiority today in a snooty, Ivy League, Oxford-educated sort of way.  By the way - the average Indian has a better education than most of the descendants of their former colonial masters - they actually excel in STEM as opposed to 'gender studies.'  "Educated people."  That's funny!

Is that why the uber-expensive airlines advertise the piano bar on their premium flights?

 

Jeez.  It's a holiday flight and they're acting like they're on holiday.  We from the nanny states have been incrementally castrated over the years in the name of safety and the illusion of security.

“I’m half Indian, living in Germany, and this is common—loud talking, blocking train exits, and even playing music on phones without headphones.”

 

“They’ve turned the flight into a train or bus. This plane hasn’t even landed, and it’s already chaos!”

 

The incident reignited discussions about civic sense and cultural etiquette. Some users criticised the lack of accountability.

Had a similar experience on a Bell bus from Bkk to Pattaya, a bunch of drunken Indian guys (over 30 y.o.).

I had the impression the woman conductor wanted to pull over and throw them out right there on the road.

 

[pomchop]

when flight attendants tell you to return to your seat over and over and you refuse the next step is to actually enforce the penalties and have offending pax arrested and charged upon arrival...but like so many times there are plenty of rules which mean nothing without enforcement...why did the captain not announce to follow flight attendants instructions or face consequences on arrival...and of course if the plane hits turbulance while people are roaming the aisle and refusing to sit down the airline may well get sued by the idiot passengers who did not follow the rules and got hurt when their thick heads bounced off the ceiling a few times...

makes no difference as to nationality of pax...the rules should apply to all passengers on all flights.

That pretty much sums it up.  This sort of behaviour is OK on a train or bus in India, so why not in the air?

Hiso, people these days seem to have a compelling desire to be Hiso, this explains why they wear gold chains in front of Ladyboys and get robbed.

at least they have friends and seem happy, unlike lonely farang drowning himself in alcohol on his way to visit teerak love him true

Should point out that there is extra seating on the roof ahead of takeoff.

I had the same experience with an English couple on a flight from Amsterdam to London. I had an aisle seat.

I could not move, but he insisted that he wanted to get out of his window seat into the aisle, opening the luggage bin,

his bag landing on my head. His wife could not get out because the aisle was full, so she hung half over me. Bloody ignorant pigs everywhere. They were out of the plane not even 1 minute earlier than me.

Shared by Ankit Kumar, a content creator aboard the Thai AirAsia flight, the footage reveals groups of Indian men standing in the aisle, chatting loudly, snacking, and blatantly ignoring air hostesses’ repeated requests to return to their seats.

 

I was in a similar situation on TG flight from Mumbai years back. That was sorted by asking an Indian girl, willing to help, to inform the back of the plane by intercom that police has been informed, they are not continuing to HK (that's what most planned on that flight arriving early morning) as they will be arrested by police on arrival to Bangkok for violation of air safety laws. There was absolute silence from the back after that to the point when plane landed, I saw nobody from the back came out, from their faces I'd guess afraid of what's waiting outside. Police was at the gate, but I was gone before I could see if they did anything...

Air India crew would have known how to handle this situation much better than others, though. They deal with it every day.

Jeez.  It's a holiday flight and they're acting like they're on holiday.  We from the nanny states have been incrementally castrated over the years in the name of safety and the illusion of security.

On take off and landing it is mandatory that everyone is seated and has seat belts secured, for safety, below 10,000ft.

On every flight I have been on, the pilot says it is recommended that passengers keep their seat belts fastened, unless they have to move about the cabin, its just plain common sense!

 

Piano bars on commercial airliners are rare due to:

Practical Considerations

1. Space constraints: Limited cabin space prioritizes seating and safety equipment.
2. Weight and balance: Heavy pianos affect aircraft balance and fuel efficiency.
3. Noise levels: Piano music conflicts with passenger comfort and communication.
4. Safety regulations: Piano installation would require specialized certification.

Historical Exceptions

1. Pan Am's Boeing 707 (1950s-60s): Featured a lounge with a piano.
2. British Airways' Concorde (1976-2003): Had a compact piano.

 

Some 'premium cabins have 'stand up bars', but even they have seat belts.

 

Regulatory Requirements

1. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): 14 CFR § 25.562 requires seatbelts for all seats.
2. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO): Annex 8 mandates seatbelts for all passenger seats.

Safety Features

1. Retractable seatbelts: Some stand-up bars have retractable seatbelts.
2. Lap belts: Simple seatbelts for standing passengers.
3. Shoulder harnesses: Additional upper-body restraint.
4. Grab bars: For stability during turbulence.
5. Safety nets: Some airlines install safety nets to prevent falls.

Airline Implementations

1. Emirates: A380 lounge has retractable seatbelts.
2. Qatar Airways: A380 bar features lap belts.
3. Singapore Airlines: "The Bar" has retractable seatbelts.
4. Etihad Airways: "The Lobby" has lap belts.

Possibly, but when the cabin crew 'tell' you sit down, its for a reason usually.

It's the same boarding a plane.

I always wait until most people are already in the plane. Why should I stand in line or wait in the plane when I can sit outside more comfortable?

But it seems many people want to be the first on board. Strange.

I once persuaded my wife to take a  vacation to India. She cried the entire time we were there. I tried to make the best of it but after failing to change our ticket to go back home, we locked ourselves in our room for the rest of the stay. If there truly is a hell, it must look and smell like India. Never again and I am trying to be a good boy as not to temp fate and land in hell (India) for eternity.

This behaviour really STINKS 

As do the Indians, its partly due to the food they eat,

1. Sulfur compounds: Garlic, onions, ginger and chilies release sulfur, which is absorbed and released through sweat.
2. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Spices like cumin, coriander and turmeric contain VOCs, contributing to body odor.
3. Aldehydes: Found in spices, herbs and chilies, aldehydes are absorbed and exhaled.

Physiological Responses

1. Digestion: Indian food's complex spices and fibers stimulate digestive enzymes, releasing gases.
2. Sweat glands: Spicy food activates sweat glands, releasing moisture and trapped compounds.
3. Metabolism: Body processes break down spices, releasing aromatic byproducts...........Farts....😂

I agree with you about smell and filth that you can find in many places. But I've spent some rather good time in India during my business travel there. Not touristy places, but people were wonderful (total contrast to goons on the plane or visiting Thailand), food was awesome, and I overall felt very pleased there.

 

It obviously depends on where you go, and what part of town you stay in if you visit a big city.

 

As such, I wouldn't write whole India off like that. Just need to be a bit more careful in planning to see the best, not the worst of it.

Go for it l. We sat on the floor drinking vodka on a Royal Brunei flight from Heathrow to Dubia. Never  once was questioned. It's amazing how judgmental half indians can be to their fellow natives.  

Thai AirAsia   is extremely racist towards Indians on their flights coming from India to Bangkok.

There's probably a reason for that, like the Chinese they aren't welcome anywhere.
