Sitting next to you on your next flight ?

I saw that and I'm glad that I shall probably never have to fly anywhere again.

Though years ago while traveling around Thailand used to get some of that on the Farang overnight busses out of Bangkok.

Seems to be getting worse.

I was boarding a flight at Schiphol in Holland when 2 half-drunk guys tried to board with no shirts on...Captain refused to allow them on. They started screaming abuse and ended up being hauled off by airport police. Captain got a BIG cheer from other passengers.

As I have just flown to England and wanted the seat next to be empty I blacked up in the toilet and came out coughing and spluttering. All seats in the surrounding area emptied pretty sharpish.laugh.png

"I saw that and I'm glad that I shall probably never have to fly anywhere again."

Amen. The whole experience, not just the other passengers who are jerks, has become truly cattle-car like, even if you fly Business Class, starting from the boarding "experience" onward.

And I should add, my experience between LA-Chicago-LA on my last visit "home" maybe ten years ago was FAR worse than anything I've experienced in the supposed less-developed world.

I must say I find it sad that I so seldom get off a flight these days thinking how considerate my fellow passengers were, normally the opposite.

A couple of years back I was surprised, nay shocked, to see about 6 shirtless disembarking passengers in the immigration queue at Swampy. I thought the IO might have something to say about it but they were just waved through. I leave it to others to speculate on nationality smile.png . Any takers?

Grubsville? I would hazard a guess at that being from Yobo county in the UK. I would also hazard a guess they were bound for Pattaya

Flying to USA from Thailand or v.v., if you go the Pacific route instead of Europe/Atlantic route, at least the people are generally smaller.

Wait till you have traveled on some Thai buses, I have had the pleasure,( not) on a few occasions where a Thai, and yes a Thai person has been spitting in a lippo bottle.. lippo is a drink like red bull if people do not know what lippo is.

A guy went nuts 20 mins before landing at BKK last year on my flight and had to be restrained from attacking another passenger.

Thai police were waiting at the door when we disembarked.

Was enough to push me back up the front of the plane....us champagne Quaffers would never behave like that.

Would we?
