This is not new but it seems that many Malaysians have the \u2018dont care\u2019 attitude when it comes to carry on or cabin luggage. The cabin bags just kept getting bigger each day! <\/p>\n
It\u2019s NOT COOL to place your \u2018cabin size\u2019 bag along with your jacket, your laptop and duty free shopping bags all in the overhead compartment. Think about the others and do consider checking in your bags and keeping the smaller bags underneath the seat in front of you. Also take note that different aircraft have different sizes of overhead compartment so do a bit of fact finding before you fly \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It is nice that some airlines still offer newspapers for free to all passengers but it\u2019s NOT COOL to be selfish and take all types of newspapers leaving the later passengers with no newspapers at all. I find it annoyingly amazing that some people can read 5 different newspapers in a short 45 minutes flight! <\/p>\n Oh by the way, you are supposed to return back those newspapers for passengers on the later flights and not simply stuffed it in the seat pocket or take it home with you!<\/p>\n ***************************************** Speaking of taking things home, this habit is quite a scary one. I would understand passengers taking home in-flight magazines and in-flight meals but it\u2019s NOT COOL to take home items like pillows, blankets, life jackets and safety cards. The worst I\u2019ve seen so far is a passenger actually browsed through the cabin on a long-haul hunting for more than one pillows to take home!<\/p>\n ***************************************** I always wonder what is the point in rushing to go in and out of the plane? Gone were the days of free seating yet people are still queuing up way before the gate opens. It\u2019s also NOT COOL to stand up and ready to leave the plane even before the plane reaches the arrival gate after landing. Please consider giving space for the elderly and young kids!<\/p>\n ***************************************** Bad air travel habit reaches all level of Malaysians including the rich and famous. It might just be me but I find this next habit quite annoying. Imagine walking through the first class section to reach the economy class. It is NOT COOL to have those first class passengers to stare at the donkey class passengers like myself. <\/p>\n It is true that they pay more and deserve to be treated like a king but a friendly smile would be highly appreciated rather than a \u201cblank\u201d stare to those who can\u2019t afford the first class travel.<\/p>\n ***************************************** This is the type of passengers that just can\u2019t keep it low. It\u2019s normal to chit chat on a flight but if your partner\/friend\/boss is seated few rows away, please do everyone a favor and shut up. It\u2019s also NOT COOL for those passengers that watch in-flight movies and laugh it out loudly as if they are in a cinema hall where everyone watches the same movie. <\/p>\n ***************************************** This is the annoying habit of changing seats without waiting for all passengers to board the plane. It\u2019s NOT COOL to create confusion and make life miserable for everyone just because you want to be seated next to your partner\/friend\/boss. At least have the courtesy to wait for all passengers to board before politely asking for change of seats. <\/p>\n ***************************************** Common sense. 2 seats and one middle armrest. It\u2019s an unwritten rule for it to be shared and it\u2019s annoying and NOT COOL to dominate the armrest all by yourself simply because you are bigger or first to be seated in the row.<\/p>\n ***************************************** ***************************************** This next habit happened in front of me so many times and it annoyed me the most. I just hate it when a guy or a group of guys make a move on a pretty Malaysian stewardess during a flight in front of other passengers. There are way too many \u2018friendly\u2019 Malaysians that believe it is perfectly ok for them to hit on the cabin crew with lame lines like \u201cBoleh berkenalan?\u201d and \u201cCan I have your number?\u201d Not to forget the \u201cthis is my card, please call me\u201d trick. <\/p>\n It is true that Malaysian stewardesses are generally pretty, attractive and friendly but it is NOT COOL to subject them with all these verbal harassments. Be a true gentleman and try your luck after the flight instead \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n *****************************************<\/p>\n Do you have any similar experience? If you travel frequent enough, you would definitely witness 1-2 of the above during your flight \ud83d\ude42 Feel free to share your experience through the comments function below.<\/p>\n Blue Skies ahead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Flying is a glamorous way of traveling and thanks to the existence of low fares from all three major airlines in the country; more Malaysians are choosing air travel as their preferred choice of traveling.

\n\u201cHello Sayang, I have just landed in KLIA and will see you in a few minutes\u201d. <\/em>It\u2019s a normal phone conversation but it\u2019s definitely NOT COOL to have this conversation over a phone call on a plane that just touches the ground. Why can\u2019t people understand that using a mobile phone on-board is a threat to the safety of the flight? Just because the cabin crew are not looking at you doesn\u2019t mean that you are free to do whatever you want. <\/p>\n
