Messaged a few friends who had visited Rotoiti with us and sure enough they all had bites too. Moral of the story: likely wasnt the flight, and I was quick to lay blame. Just thought I’d share.
Not in this case. Sadly - work trip.

By chance were you sitting anywhere near the bassinet rows at row 15? If so those spots may have been caused by ankle biters.

if someone repeatedly refuses to consider it is their fault, i am inclined to believe it is their fault.

You got some bug bites.
Go to a store, get some lotion to put on and go about your day.

You don’t need to tell people about this, post on a forum, or ‘tweet’ a massive airline that just flew you around the world in comfort and then act annoyed when they don’t respond in some magical timeframe that only you set.

Come on man, you’re making society look idiotic with tripe like this.

Get a grip!!
