    Now that Boeing hired their own armed private air marshals, everyone claps, or they might meet dispatch. /s

    I was recently on a flight where the first landing attempt was aborted due to low visibility and we looped around (the entire Metro area) to try again. After the second attempt succeeded there was indeed clapping.

    I thought only polish people do this. Although to be fair I’ve only been flying with other poles.

        Possibly? It definitely comes from a very different time. I always thought of this as a kind of national embarassement but now I learn it’s not just a polish thing.

        I’ve noticed that recently when older poles try to start a clap most younger ones scoff at them and roll their eyes and it fizzles out very quickly

    Don’t call it cringe if you haven’t landed on Palermo airport on a small jetplane yet. It’s what I think a rocket launch should feel like.

    Serious: Just had a nightmare experience on American Airlines. Anywhere anyone know to go to share trauma?

    kayak and turkish airlines now show which plane is assigned to the flight. I avoid buying tickets for Boeing flights.
