Survived, out of China. On Xiamen flight, I managed an emergency exit seat which meant I just increased my survival rate by 50%! One less Chinese person who would randomly open the emergency gate ‘to get some air’. I am as claustrophobic as needing institutional care, but never have I entertained opening the emergency escape on mid flight. Other spectacular actions: opening overhead compartments on descent and leaving it open so bags can become trajectiles. Bringing a whole Jasmine tree on the flight and obstructing the walkway. These I witnessed. Ones I have heard: throwing hot cup of noodles on the flight attendant’s face. Assaulting flight attendant because this guy wanted a different seat than he got and refused to give it up, and got upset at flight attendant trying to get him to move . How about smoking inside the bathrooms and setting the plane on fire?
Well, I win some and lose some. My mosquito bites were fewer than 20 this time so far, so a few life threatening actions by fellow passengers should provide other forms of entertainment.
