Yes yes yes. Makes me boil.

I just don't understand...when people know what is required why the f do they get to the front of the queue and act like they have no idea where they are

Also when travelling EasyJet, huge notices everywhere saying 1 piece hand luggage only, on all documents. Surprise athat being told one bag only at boarding gate.

Clarabellb · 01/12/2016 14:31

I could start a whole 'hates' of long haul travel thread...perhaps I should have called it that

Ugh! I've married one of these. The ultimate faffer and worrier. No offense to old women but goodness, he is one. His friend at work calls him Reginald Mole Husband!

Clarabellb · 01/12/2016 14:33

Oh but Luis...even better than that are the people who voluntarily use those stupid case measuring 'devices'...what are they going to do if it doesn't fit?!

They just get charged I think. Are you a frequent flyer Clara?

Clarabellb · 01/12/2016 14:34

Yup...long haul I fortunately

OP posts:
LuisSuarezTeeth · 01/12/2016 14:35

Oh bad luck. I only do short haul but I guess the frustrations are the same.

Clarabellb · 01/12/2016 14:35

I had a very good easyJet experience when I was pregnant. I ended up with two bags as colleagues had given me baby gifts. The lady saw my bump and said she's 'pretend she hadn't seen' my other bag. How sweet x

Mostly Asia at the moment and flights range from brilliant to...can I just throw musket off here please?

OP posts:
Clarabellb · 01/12/2016 14:37

Myself not musket....although it would be interesting to get through security

LuisSuarezTeeth · 01/12/2016 14:37

Yes some of them can be really nice. I generally find the cabin crew are great, but the ground crew can be obnoxious.

MyBreadIsEggy · 01/12/2016 14:38

The entire of my dad's side of the family are notorious faffers and ditherers.

Clarabellb · 01/12/2016 14:39

I do agree about dithering but if you're travelling hand luggage only for work with only one bag then it's not really possible to get everything out in the queue - juggling work laptop, personal iPad, overnight toiletries and bag in your hands while presenting your boarding card/phone to the scanning gates is a right pita.

I have passenger "categories".

Chatty passenger (no)
Stinky food passenger (no no)
Elbows passenger (get on your own side)
Contstant rustling passenger (went bonkers in duty free)
Lovebird passengers (stop snogging)
Intricately organised passengers (typed itinerary)

And on...
