MUMBAI: When it comes to passenger misbehaving, 69 per cent Indian travellers said they would alert flight attendants and ask them to handle the situation, while 30 per cent said they would confront the trouble maker, a recent Expedia survey said.
“About 69 per cent said they would alert the flight attendant and ask them to handle, while 30 per cent said they would confront a misbehaving passenger directly,” according to the Expedia Flight Etiquette Survey 2017.
“Overall 24 per cent said they would resort to social shaming of the passenger or tweet about it,” it added.
“As flying picks up as a preferred mode of travel for Indians, there is a variety of behaviours that can be seen on a flight. While some of the travellers are patient and helpful, the others are inconsiderate and annoying,” said Manmeet Ahluwalia, Marketing Head, Expedia in India.
The survey was conducted online via GfK’s Global Omnibus with 1,002 interviews between February 3-6, 2017, among Indian adults aged over 18 years.
The survey revealed that Indians find rear-seat kickers (52 per cent), boozers (50 per cent) and loud passengers (49 per cent) most annoying in a flight, while they are most tolerant to flirting singles (33 per cent) and amorous couples (30 per cent). (AGENCIES)
