News and notes from around the interweb:
- Delta makes clear to flight attendants that they cannot stop passengers from taking photos, or kick them off flights for doing so (except when the passenger is interfering with ‘safety and security’).
In a new memo titled ‘Our approach to customer photos/videos,’ the airline says that following several recent incidents, “we’ve received a number of requests from employees asking Delta to prohibit photography taken without employee consent.”
Delta says that it had “thoroughly reviewed” its policy on the subject and has come to the conclusion that, in most cases, flight attendants and other customer-facing staff cannot tell passengers to stop photographing or videoing them and that this is not reason in itself to boot someone from a flight.
- You serve yourself. You throw away your own paper and plastic. Someone puts out the food and restocks the buffet. They are paid a (non-tipped) wage for doing this. If you tip, the hotel can attract workers for lower pay.
Why is a RI now expecting that we tip at the free breakfast?

No doubt Delta will soon be charging for the Premium Camera Experience.
50k sky pesos for pictures in coach and 400k for pictures in 1st class.
I thought I would chime in on this subject because I don’t see any reason for the airline companies to bitch about this because if peoples are doing this in public areas, then airline companies can’t do a Damn thing about it
Delta is doing the right thing with a common sense policy.
It doesn’t surprise me that Air India cabin crew members don’t want to share rooms.
It also doesn’t surprise me that the immunity from prosecution and lawsuits for federal agents still stands.
Reminded me of the time I was flying over the Alps taking photos and an FA told me in no uncertain terms that that was illegal and I must stop NOW. The Alps! I forget which airline though. I must have erased the unfortunate company from my memory. Glad I saved the Alps from any skulduggery however.
Hotels need to ban those “sport sleep overs” at hotels. We have been at hotels where , these teen and pre-teen have been at and it has been a nightmare. The kids run amok all over the place, The pool and gym are filled with them acting like animals. Moms are in the hallways openly drinking their boxed wine.
Then at breakfast in the morning they all come down in slippers, flannel Pjs and BO (take a shower first guys you stink). I really do not want to see your boxerbriefs or the girls bras. so cover up too.
If I did any of that my dad and mom would have made it hard for me to sit for a couple of days. But then again i was brought up right not by Laizzez-faire parents.
