It’s always exciting when you fly with a plane full of Chinese.  There’s always a few that don’t listen to the flight crew and I often wonder if they do things deliberately to see if they can get away with it. Turning off the mobile is traumatic for many and so when they are told to do so they will wait until caught and even then they often don’t turn it off. It’s an addiction like heroin, they need a fix and they can’t go for very long without touching, feeling and checking for that all important message about their friends dog or meal they have just had.

Seats are reclined, some are not sitting or strapped in. As the plane  begins to taxi someone tries to go to the loo. And there have been so many stories over the years like this and also about the dramas and tantrums from passengers.

In Bangkok while waiting to check in a grandmother took her grandchild and let it do the toilet into a bin and just laughed when told off by security. What would make her think that this was acceptable behaviour.

So as you can see, never a dull moment.
