Have you ever seen something or someone weirdo on airlines?

Airlines is the best way to travel from one to other countries in the world. But what do travelers know about traveling through airlines? The useful information below will answer the question above. 

1. Self-entitled travelers

There are some self-kindly souls who have a such a well-developed sense of entitlement that everyday rules don’t apply to them. They are easy to recognize – they are the ones that go to the front of the queue ahead of those already waiting. Or these ones can be heard haggling at check-in to have their excess luggage fee waived. They still waste time trying to blag an upgrade, have their seat changed, or decide to ask for a special meal at the last minute.

2. People who turn up without a passport and unaware of airport security

There are some people who suddenly find at check-in that they have left their passport at home are a source of amazement. How? Why? For god’s sake. Having a passport to hand is the least you can expect from a traveler. And no, I don’t think I’m being harsh.

I really do try to be patient, but first-time travelers or those who are simply unaware can hold things up. Even though you have no clue about airport security it doesn’t take long to bone up or to simply take a moment to read the abundance of signs that give information.

So get prepared before you get to security: Take off your coat, retrieve laptops from hand luggage and wear clothes that don’t need a belt or jewelry that sets off the bleeper when checking through the scanner and don’t carry liquid.

By the way, those small transparent plastic bags they supply at the airport are not decoration; they are supplied for you to put in your liquids and creams which must be shown. Let’s do it before you queue so that you won’t have to waste time taking them out of your bag at the security belt.

3. The noise of music or games

It’s totally normal to make a trip with smartphones, Ipads, tablets. But there is such a thing as headphones. Carrying these smart bits of technology that means you can discretely listen to your podcast, music or play those games.

And when on the subject of phones – Shouters, we can hear you and honestly we don’t want to. Your telephone calls are your business. So, you should be aware and use your inner volume control to tone it down.

4. Waiting lounges are for everyone

Those of you who decide to lay across several seats because you want a nap or simply hog several seats with your bags, here’s a request: when it’s busy, don’t do it. We want the opportunity to have a seat. So. Stop it. Here’s the scene, we are in a queue and it’s slow. After that, someone behind you tuts and mutters expletives creating a negative atmosphere. It’s not helpful, is it?

5. Late comers

When everyone on the plane has finally put their bags in the overhead cabins, everyone is seated, and we are waiting. And waiting. Then it becomes clear – it’s the latecomers. Perhaps we should all clap in unison as these people make their late entry.

6. Perfume sellers at Duty-Free shops

It’s great to browse and shop but not so great when a perfume salesperson spritzes their perfume at me. When I see them armed with the perfume bottle in hand and finger on the spray nozzle waiting to pounce, can you blame me for giving them a wide berth?

7. People who suddenly stop in a busy spot

There is a crowd is making good progress through the airport then all of a sudden, someone just stops. It causes a chaotic domino effect, so stay focused and don’t stop walking until it’s safe to.

8. Too much “lurve”

Now, look! I know it’s boring standing in a zig-zag queue towards security. Or in the queue for passport control. But Do you have to snog for everyone else to see? Get a room.

9. Carousel hoggers

Why do people have to take up an inordinately large amount of space by the carousel? They rush to stand in herds – often with a trolley – to wait for the sight of their bag. Guess what, we all want the sight of our bag. So, I would like to offer some carousel-side training: stand a little way away from the carousel and when you see your bag heading towards you, only then approach and take it off. It’s so much more civilized.

10. So when did paying for a seat come into being?

It all started in 2011 when the low-cost airline, Easyjet, rolled out BOSS – which stands for “bums on selected seats”. This initiative got a thumbs up for passengers like myself who dreaded firstly, having to join in the chaotic run to board the plane and secondly, the ensuing scrum to find a seat. Even then there was no assurance of being seated with your group.

After having bedded their passengers into BOSS, the airline launched the “pay extra to choose your seat” system in 2012. It was a successful punt and a huge money-spinner. Other airlines started to do it too and the CAA say £390 million a year is now spent by UK fliers to ensure they sit together.

11. Why is the CAA investigating?

After having received a flurry of complaints from passengers who had to endure flights seated away from their companions, the CAA is investigating whether charges to choose a seat are “fair and transparent”. For instance are flyers put under undue pressure to pay even whey they don’t need to? Or worse, are airlines are deliberately splitting up groups.

According to the survey, as many as six in 10 of those who paid to sit together did so over fears they could be split up. Ryanair, who finds itself at the bottom of the survey, denied that they do this. Yet couples and groups often find themselves scattered around the plane and often seated in the middle seats. Ryanair says it’s the luck of the draw and not some cynical algorithm to separate people from their traveling companions.

There is no doubting that Ryanair’s flights are more often than not full to the brim, so perhaps there are fewer options for those who choose not to pay extra. This is a commercial airline and it wants to keep the more popular window and aisle seats free for people who are prepared to pay.

Ryanair said that they are very happy to facilitate any customer who wants a free-of-charge random seat but they are also going to do our best to facilitate clients who are willing to pay for a reserved seat.”

12. How do other airlines fare?

The incidence of being separated is common among airlines such as British Airways, Easyjet, Thomas Cook Airlines TUI, Jet2, Virgin and Emirates. Easyjet claims that if passengers choose not to pay to select their seats, Easyjet’s seating system is programmed to try and seat families together when they check-in online.”

Frankly, a focus on dealing with the question of seating children with their parents is paramount and obvious. The CAA said that airlines must aim to seat children close by their parents – in the same row if possible, otherwise separated by no more than one seat row from accompanying adults.

The chief executive, Andrew Haines, says: “We will not hesitate to take any necessary enforcement action should it be required at the end of the review.” This could involve a default requirement to try to seat groups together.

That’s the weirdo thing I just have listed above, but everything will be ok when you take off the airplane and get the best accommodation in the country.
