While flying on an International rout and if many of Indian Travellers specially full of holidayers and company sponsered travellers are there, the moment drinks arrive you will want to disembark the aircraft.The crews became so fedup at the manner and noise created they have to switch onthe 'fasten seat belt'on a most clear weather day.
1. Passengers paying scant respect to safety requirements - refusing to make seats upright during take-off/landings, refusing to keep window shades up, walking up to the toilet just before landing.
2. Passengers trying to stuff odd sized luggage into the cabin holds
3. Switching on mobile phones, the instant the plane touches down and talking loudly on the phone.

5. While the food is served, going to loos and getting stuck on aisle on return...untill the stewards push the cart. 6. Take 3 handbags on cabin, one is lappy bag, and two big bags..stuff them ahead on OH storage before your co-passenger arrives and finds no place for his/her single bag. 7. Use the loo as you wish, through toilet paper around, don't care to wash and clean the basin after use.. ..who says Indians are not clever?
1)Less leg space. 2)Announcing low cost offers in the middle of the flight. 3)Captain speaking to the passengers , talking about how high we are flying, whats the temperature in his hometown and all the useless disturbance.
1. Air Hostess Not telling if the Food is Free or One has to Pay!! :) 2. People rushing to get up and exit, as soon as the plane lands. 3. Why are the Loos so very small. Why?

You are either an innocent babe-in-wood or plain stupid to ask such pedestrian questions. Anyway, here are my answers: (1) When the cart comes around, they tell the price of each time UMPTEEN times to UMPTEEN passengers with a smile on their face. Even though they tell loud enough, every passenger makes them repeat. (2)Some passengers are jerks. They fumble and delay, while removing their baggage from the overhead bin. It is so annoying to wait for such dumb creatures that some smarties beat the crowd and start moving towards the exit. If you've not noticed this, you must be one of the dumb creatures. No need to blame our Indianness. All countrymen do this. (3) You really must have an rock-bottom IQ. Even railways has very small toilet-cum-bathroom. Do you know how expensive it is to send the plane up in air? That space is a premium?(Next time, look at the flight crew's cabin and pictures of pilot's flight deck)Loos WILL BE small; Aisles WILL BE narrow; Seats WILL BE cramped. If you want luxury pay a fortune and fly business class. Or, suffer the discomfort, come down to earth, and enjoy all the luxuries you want for a fraction of cost, in any hotel or your home. SAVVY??

With all the IQ in the world my dear friend couldnt realize that this was just a rhetorical question. Not so smart was it?

I think the loos evrywhere are meant for just 1 person! I don't know where more then 1 person can use the a single toilet seat! :)

I guess we have relatively bigger ones in our office. Do you think they are designed for more than one person at a time?

You are on a flight baba, where each kg adds up to the cost of flying and thus your ticket cost, not your home. So bear with it!!!!
the flight was full with Kolkata residents. they were so talkative that the whole flight sounded more like a market place during the entire journey.
especially one joine family which was sitting distributed, got up from their seats and gathered near one area where 2 memebers of the family were sitting in the middle of the flight. and they kept talking there or should i say shouting in their highest pitch and laughing like a bufoon.

this drama continued till the air hostess declared that the food will be served. no need to mention the standing family members ran towards their seats in highest speed ever to ensure they reach their spots before the trolley passes them off to ensure they dont miss it lol.

Is there any reason to mention Kolkata residents? At least most of them don't leer at women like most of the Delhiwallas I have seen. Didn't like that dis you? Neither did I your allusion that paints all Kolkatans with the same black brush. Think before you comment.

Most Indians (me included) do not have the manners to rightly use a cell phone in the train, plane or at airport. They talk as if they are in their bedrooms.
A lot of us do not know there's a sick bag for vomit stuff on each seat. I have seen a couple of times people vomiting on the floor, a child running from economy to business class with her mother & downloading the stuff on the floor there. We are like this only? seems so.

If you change your perception that they are not sexsymbols, then you will find them all right. The biggest problem is you try to see them in that fashion and then the frustration sets in.
If your mom can be nice to someone then a middle aged or an old airhostess can be too!
They just have self respect as much as your mom has!

Partly true- do not see them as sex objects but the agility and drive does go down with age. May be with advancing age, many of them would better be in a supervisory capacity.
