Flirting on the aeroplane
What is the protocol for inflight flirting?
I am constantly bothered by middle aged women - usually after they've downed a few glasses of bubbles mind - and have no idea what the correct response should be.
Any suggestions most welcome

I would complain to BA. I think the compensation is 5,000 Avios for each unwanted flirt.

Are they passengers or crew?

I did prepare a response, but then deleted it to protect the innocent (me).
If you are 'constantly' bothered, you have a choice - go with the flow; put on your headphones/eyeshades/earplugs; or live with it.

It must be a nightmare being so handsome and popular.

I've received unsolicited advances from male crew but no middle-aged women and no passengers. Yet...

Think that depends on whether they are attractive or not, and your definition of middle aged!

Personally, it doesn't bother me

I think the OP will get loads and loads of sympathy from women travellers

"Sit down, Mum, you're drunk."

Do they take flash photos of you when you're asleep?

Drink more. Then you will see it as an opportunity rather than a threat.

Maybe reading too much into the situation.
