“I really want people to understand why it’s dangerous to take your luggage with you when you land,” says one user.
“Oh dear God! When we land, people start to approach the gate!” worries a lady.
According to NBC News, disrespectful behavior in air travel has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The American news channel emphasizes that the increase in ticket costs, delays due to staff shortages and loss of service are factors that explain the increase in rudeness.
