Passenger's behavior sparks controversy over airplane decorum after being labelled as impolite by a fellow middle seat occupant, prompting a query about suitable conduct in such situations.
In a recent incident, a traveller found themselves embroiled in a heated argument with a fellow passenger over seat etiquette during a flight. The altercation, which attracted hundreds of comments on Reddit, began when the traveller and their sister booked a flight together and had a seating arrangement that caused issues with the middle seat passenger.
The traveller explained their plan to ask for the snack bag back once they were settled and buckled in, and that their sister planned to sleep while the traveller watched their iPad. However, the middle seat passenger seemed to take offense to this arrangement, and the conversation escalated. Some people felt it would be annoying to sit between two people talking and interacting, while others believed that once the traveller explained their seating arrangement, the passenger's continued rudeness was not warranted.
One commenter sided with the poster, describing the other passenger as cranky. Another believed the passenger overreacted, but also acknowledged the awkwardness of the situation. The traveller shared their story on Reddit, detailing the disagreement that ensued over seemingly minor matters.
Meanwhile, another incident on a different flight made headlines for a very different reason. A heated verbal argument between a flight attendant and passenger Mohammed Shibli, triggered by a refusal to provide water to his two-year-old son, escalated to the point where the flight attendant struck Shibli in the face with an open hand. The incident caused a significant disruption on the airplane and has since been the subject of much discussion.
In other news, popular articles on the website include one about a "soulless" holiday hotspot, another about Trainline, and another about sun-seeking Brits heading to Dubai. These articles offer a welcome distraction from the sometimes tense atmosphere that can arise during air travel.
