What strange airplane seatmates do you remember?

I don't like flying, I do it rarely, but I remember once flying with a young woman and her extremely energetic little boy. She got up from her seat to let him sit there and stood for five hours while he ran around the plane nonstop. The seat remained empty the entire time.

When we landed, she took out her phone, called her husband, and said, "I'm so exhausted. I had to stand the whole flight so that [boy’s name] could sit in the seat".

Went on a date with a cute investment banker, that I met on the plane to Munich, once.

He seemed really personable and interesting on the plane, but it was a weird date, with a confusing conversation. The food was excellent. French. I just remember that the food was French and excellent and he kept wiping his nose, even though it wasn't running and he seemed hyper alert.

Took me a while to realize that he was high as a 🪁, but I pretended not to notice until after the cheese platter because I like cheese 🧀.

I remember each individual who just assumed that they owned the armrest.

Te entiendo totalmente 😬

USUALLY MAN-SPREADING, JUST SAYING.

i kinda decided after my ryanair flight nearly standing the whole time the tightness of the seating that i'm not using these aircraft things to travel... unless it can escape the gravity well i'll stick to land and water thanks

if it gets to like standard subway "seating" situation they will have to give a free diazepam to make that work... i'm thinking triple stack coffin style with 2 feet per passenger in a hex grid

i guess they would have to have cheap LCDs to show the safety lesson that every flight starts with then also, since the ladies can't do their funny gestures with the oxygen masks and floateee things

😅

A couple next to me were watching a movie in sync they paused together and everything, what the heck, I mean come on…..
