Boarding

Orderly fashion, my ass!

They boarded the plane from the front AND back entrances simultaneously. The middle-section of the plane quickly turned into a giant clash of grumpy, sweaty tourists who had entered through the wrong entrance and now had to fight against the tide, oversized carry-on luggage in hand, to find their seats.

Once we took a big mental-step-back from the annoyance and frustration of the situation, we realized it was actually quite hilarious!

Oh vietnam airlines.....

ps: last Vietnam picture EVER! (...unless I go back sometime.)

Nice photo. They board the low cost planes like that in the UK. No seats are allocated ahead so you choose when you get on. All the pedantic people fight to get what appear to be completely random seats. Who knows. Maybe row 6 seat B is a lucky seat or something.

I know what you mean Mr. Gibbs.

Airplanes are a very emotional place. People are either excited for their vacation, relieved to be going home, or even nervous about flying.

I'm always most intrigued about the people who fly so often that airplanes are entirely routine for them, like salarymen on business trips.

I know what you mean Jaako. There were people next to us on a flight from Milan to the UK and they spent their weekends in the UK and worked in Milan. I'd hate it. Talk about a big carbon footprint too.
