Flying in India - Part 1

It’s bad to laugh at people but this is too good!

 

Here is an article with a compilation of the best comments made by Indian travellers on Virgin airlines… (http://www.mumbaimirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article&sectname=News%20-%20City&sectid=2&contentid=201102082011020802062751495a638d3#ftr2)

 

  • Slow down, plane’s going too fast
  • Need to spit, open the windows
  • A passenger insisted on sleeping in the overhead luggage storage bin. Post dinner, he climbed on his seat and tried getting into the storage bin, thinking planes too have two or three tiers of beds like trains do.
  • Where are the ladies?
  • There is no water  (communément utilisé en Inde à la place du papier toilettes).
  • Phone please, kids are waiting. Passengers would see the crew members using intercom handsets on the flight and mistake them to be telephones.
  • Can I have a Mac Donald’s?
  • On a Los Angeles to London flight, a woman booked a seat for her Barbie doll, which was dressed exactly like her. She even requested for a cup of tea and a massage for the doll.
    An elderly passenger was unable to sleep in the Upper Class and asked for a sleeping pill.
    When that didn’t help, he asked crew to tell the captain to turn off the plane’s engines. Air hostess’ response? “Er.... cannot do that sir, we need the engine to stay airborne.”
  •  On a flight from New York, a female passenger asked, "Is there anything you or the captain can do about this turbulence...?" The crew member replied, "(Virgin Atlantic owner) Richard Branson has a lot of contacts and influence with some very important people, but unfortunately, Mother Nature isn’t one of them...just yet!"

     

    Promise, next time I’ll look for comments by French travellers!!
