To hate the people singing on this flight

[Bodear]

Just that really. They’re pissed and loud and conducting a song-song.
I’ve asked them nicely to keep it down. It made them louder.
FFS!!!!!

What the hell is it about planes? Would they do it on a bus?

I went on a few coach trips in my youth, and yes indeed there was often singing!

Wow, you can get WiFi on flights now? Last time I got on a plane you had to turn off your GameBoy and Discman during takeoff and landing!

Air Force One has really dropped its standards now Trump is in

I assumed all flights had wifi. I better check the flight we’re taking has it.

Say in a loud voice that the last flight that had drunk singers on it had to be diverted back and they were escorted off the plane. That’ll shut them up.

I was on a coach in Greece once and a bunch of middle-aged tourists (ie old enough to know better in theory) not only started singing, but insisting the rest of us joined in. We did not comply.

Who is the airline? Send a letter of complaint to them. The cabin crew should be dealing with this sort of thing.

I've never been aware of there being WiFi available on flights OP and I fly several times a year on a range of Airlines.

Mind you, this has always been within Europe and always budget, but I'm sure that if Ryanair had WiFi, they would be offering to sell you code every 5 minutes for ££££s, but l think anyone saying 'l thought all flights had WiFi these days' are flying further and posher than me.

But you aren't being unreasonable about the singing OP. Most of our holidays are to the naicer quieter areas of lanzarote, tenerife, Mallorca etc and unfortunately they make you go on the same plane (we only really have a choice of jet2, Ryanair, easyJet etc, no BA or other flag Carriers) as the stags and hens going to Magaluf and Playa de Las Americas .

Coach trips where you were all going to the same event/excursion/concert?

FGS! Just because some people haven’t come across WiFi onboard, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! How rude to try and discredit the OP just because she’s experiencing something outwith your limited experience of life!

The airline should be dealing with this. Drunk people shouldn’t be allowed to board in the first place and the crew should stop serving before anyone is in that state.

I was on a jet2 flight to Rhodes (from Glasgow) and some drunk idiots started chanting ‘here we, here we fucking go’ really loudly during landing. A flight attendant (who was male as also Glaswegian) rushed up the aisle as soon as he was allowed to and told them in no uncertain terms to shut up immediately (or be arrested). The flight attendant got a clap from many of the other passengers.

Position yourself in their midst and belt out some opera. If your operatic voice is horrible, all the better.

I'd rather they were drunk and singing, than drunk and insulting the other passengers / picking a fight / puking up their guts.

(Yes I know, I'd rather they weren't drunk at all; but a happy singing drunk is better than a cantankerous belligerent drunk.)

Depends on the quality of the singing

Do sleazyjet planes have wifi?

Easy Jet started it last year, I don't know if every flight has it.

I hate the snobbery around holidays on here.

It’s not these guys is it? I’d have loved to be on this flight.

"No one wants to sit on a plane and listen to singing FFS!"

I think lots of people would!

I would hate this, they are not doing it to entertain other passengers (actual choirs that is that do this on planes) they do it for the applause and praise they expect they will get.

And then half of them are probably the types that would complain if a baby was crying and making noise.

Noise is noise, be it a baby or annoying choir.

There is literally no escape from it on a plane! They have a captive unwilling audience that they expect to be in raptures.

I was on a flight a couple of weeks ago, which was delayed by 5 hours, so we ended up leaving at 10pm for a 6 hour flight, after having been awake since 7am. Not only where we at the back next to the toilets, so had to put up with the constant slamming of the doors, my son eventually fell asleep only to be woken by two men, standing right by the toilets (so in the way) talking very loudly. I learned all about the one mans CCJ for 10 grand. So that was fun. But it was 2 am and flight full of very tired people. I can only assume they moved down there for a chat so as not to wake their own families. I had to ask them to be quiet but they made a point of staying there chatting a touch quieter for a further 10 minutes before moving. People are just selfish and in their own bubble half the time, with no concern for these around them.

I was on a long haul flight a few years back. A teenage choir erupted into song. It was great! They had everyone joining in - except the miserable bastards of course.

Last year I went to Spain. A crowd of steaming drunk football fans erupted into song, complete with swear words. It wasn’t nice for anyone.

ILove - at least one normal person on this thread. Never met people who don't like choirs before.

It would definitely depend on who was doing the singing; the You-tube DVD was fun, I wouldn't mind listening to that at all. But drunken football fans would be my worst nightmare.

It beats listening to tantrumming kids any day!

How can people not enjoy a choir?

I’d enjoy a choir at a concert but not on a flight.

It's not a case of 'not liking' choirs. I'm happy to listen to a choir if I choose to. I don't want choir singing forced upon me. Especially not on a flight where there is no escape from it. On flights lots of people are tired, some get travel sick, some might want to read and be unable to concentrate because of the singing. There are a million and one other reasons why someone on a flight would not be happy to have to listen to a load of people singing.

I sing in a choir. I do not want to listen to one when I’m flying.
