Just Because The Airline Lounge Is Classy, Doesn’t Mean The Customers Are

Everyday passenger behavior in lounges has gotten worse, from being draped over couches asleep (lounge couches aren’t nap rooms) to simply sticking bare feet up on the furniture. Would you do this at the home of an acquaintance – someone you know, but not well? Why do this in front of other passengers, and on furniture that doesn’t even belong to you? United Clubs don’t allow outside food, surely clubs can impose minimum standards like ‘no shirt, no shoes, no entry.’?

On Thursday’s American Airlines flight 754 from Philadelphia to Paris a passenger snapped a photo of a man on board in economy, shoes off and feet in the air, draped over the seat in front of him.

Bare feet on a plane is such an awful thing to do to the rest of the passengers in the cabin that a passenger with smelly feet once drove another so nuts that he got stabbed on arrival in the parking lot. American Airlines, though, appeared to condone it.

A passenger photographed evidence of one of the worst behaviors possible on an aircraft. It started with their seatmate’s bare feet. But the man didn’t leave hit feet on the ground, he decided to use the woman’s tray table as a foot rest and go to sleep. That made her tray table unusable, and meant his feet were in her face for the flight.

I’m strangely fascinated by a business class passenger who flew Delta from Turks & Caicos to New York JFK on Monday evening, February 14. You’ll see the passenger with feet up on the bulkhead.

Where it really gets interesting is the dexterity with which they used their feet to control the seat back entertainment system. A reader took video of this skill, and I can’t look away.

Every basic warning exists because someone has done it before, like Mitt Romney ironing his clothes while wearing them. But an inflight foot massage in economy? This may be the worst thing I’ve ever seen on a plane. This is a whole new entry into “what’s grosser than gross?”

Even During A Global Pandemic Airline Passengers Are Awful

Before we were all grounded, air travel had become incredibly small-d democratic, with people of all walks of life, cultures, and belief systems mixing in a small metal tube. It had become far more affordable over the past 40 years, no longer something you dress up for but also a place where behaviors clash and people come into conflict with one another. (This was the worst passenger of 2019.)

Now with only the most pressing or somber of occasions leading people to travel by air, you’d expect the level of bad behavior on planes to lessen.
