I was sat in the gate area at BOS the other day trying to standby for an earlier flight down to LGA. This young guy, with two much older guys either side of him stand at the end of my bench and start talking. They are all sharply dressed and it looks like they are heading down to NYC for a meeting or something similar.

Next thing I know one of the older guys handcuffs the younger guy to the bench and carries on talking to him while they have lunch.

It was kinda hard not to stare!

Anyway, they turned out to be on the flight that I successfully got onto, taking up all of row 1 between the three of them (ERJ flight).

It was all very surreal!
