Passenger Reports Disruptions and Poor Etiquette on 20-Hour Air India FlightPreviousNext

A passenger on an Air India flight from Vancouver to Delhi described his nearly 20-hour journey as a "chaotic nightmare" due to fellow travelers disregarding basic etiquette. He paid extra for a bulkhead seat to rest but was disturbed by passengers congregating loudly nearby and a child repeatedly kicking his seat despite requests to stop. The passenger criticized the lack of consideration, urging travelers to respect others during flights. Online commenters shared similar experiences on various airlines, highlighting common challenges in long-haul travel.
