Full House!
Flying back from edi after a satay fare, and I think I have full house in FT trigger bingo: 1) group 1 bypassed by a large crowd of parents with small kids 2) woman in 1A stuffed her handbag under her seat 3) same woman hogging divider. But I'm a professional, I can rise above it (by putting my hot towel onto her paper) 4) 29b putting bags into club lockers 5 and... https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4412d1aac6.jpg |
Stay strong! I would be losing it by now. (Especially the 29B in CE locker :mad:)
|
FUMING! |
Get your own back by telling everyone how much you paid for your ticket. Deduct the perceived value of the Avios you've earnt before giving them the figure.

Would have to say something about feet up on wall. Would sit and squirm a few minutes but could not stay silent |
What makes people put their feet onto the bulkheads?? Would they do that with their wall at home?
There should be something about being in Row 1 where you need to click the tick box which says you won't put your feet on the bulkheads before you're allowed to have the seat. That'll bug you for the whole journey now :D |

.......................... I reckon there’s a fair chance that they actually would. Travel for the masses ...... |

Spoiled child syndrome.

Trainers on wall is definitely a hot main accidentally in the lap! |

Please don’t tell me the Macbook was in the seat pocket for takeoff / landing as well. And is it their Sudafed detritus in the adjoining seat pocket too? |
Just glad I sent the wife and child home on easyJet so they didn't have to witness such horrors. |
Veja 'ethical French trainers' as well. Some people have no class...

It got worse. 1F did the same thing with the bulkheads, 1A encroached a full two inches past the centre line of the central divider with her broadsheet and was rewarded with a barely audible yet still emphatic harrumph, and there was a constant flow of screeching ET babies using the club toilet to change nappies. Will be switching to Lufthansa soonest. |

I wonder has anybody ever witnessed a member of CC having the gumption to say to such offenders - politely of course, though authoritatively : “We would ask you please to not treat our aircraft in this way” ....... ? One would like to think (as delusional as it might seem, I know .... ) that the possibility of the request being overheard by nearby passengers would have some sort of ‘shaming’ effect. |
What an ordeal - flight from hell. I wonder how many Avios it is worth. I think you should go home & recover. If you were planning to drive then get a taxi & charge BA. They can’t expect you to be safe to drive after an experience such as that. Seriously though this is why I could never work with members of the public as I’d walk around furious all of the time. |

Bisonrav, thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's nearly 03:30 am Sydney time and I am still working and was starting to nod off as I started work at 07:30 am (which is now 'yesterday'). I still have 4 hours of work to do before I leave the house at 09:00 am to get to the airport to catch a flight. I popped over to FT BAEC forum to find something to wake me up. It did not disappoint. Your post made me giggle so much that I stopped nodding off and now I am refreshed enough to tackle more work :D |
Contingency planning. The 1410 was too close to the arrival time from Doha to risk with bag collection and check in, and the 3pm easy jet wasn't much better though OK HBO. So I had a booking on the 2100 with three bags, with the intention of switching to the earlier BA if time permitted, which it did. Family booked on easyJet throughout so they got home at a reasonable time. |
Those shoes look pretty new and that bulkhead looks pretty old, so.....

Next on the Daily Mail! “French Holidaymakers from Hell: A Sole to Remember”. |

But then I don't keep my shoes on inside, so it'd be socks. |

Mmmm. I’m not convinced your reaction was particularly good behaviour either. |

I want to know what a Satay Fare is? :confused:
You did the right thing sending your family on Easyjet (why?) so that did not have to witness that Slobs are exclusive to CE, but can be anywhere on the aircraft. Is that a sandwich packet stuffed in the seat pocket in front of 1E? How common. |

Coo! That was a good fare! You don't think that was another FTer do you? There's a rather delicious DYKWIA thread going down in AAnother Forum - wait until the owner of that lot pitches up to say that I Pay So I'll Slob All I Want! |

Human behaviour never ceases to surprise me. Back on topic I think it would be a good idea for BA to put simple signs/stickers/visual symbol on the bulkhead saying DO NOT PUT YOUR FEET ON THE WALL :) |

I'd be raging!

The guy next to me in 1A a few days ago LHR to KUL was operating the touch screen tv with his bare feet thoughout the flight.
Yuck. |
