Some unfasten their seatbelts before permitted, while others rush to get up as soon as the plane lands, ignoring safety guidelines. Recently, an Instagram user highlighted a similar issue, criticizing a group of Indian passengers on a flight to Thailand for their unruly behavior.

Viral Video Captures Disruptive Behavior Mid-Air
Instagram user Ankit Kumar shared a video capturing the scene aboard his flight. Passengers could be seen standing in groups, chatting, and even eating while the plane was still mid-air. Despite repeated requests from the cabin crew to remain seated, they ignored the instructions.
Public Reaction to the Incident
Ankit’s video, which quickly went viral, showed him panning across the cabin, highlighting the chaotic environment. The clip drew millions of views and sparked widespread debate online.
Many viewers shared their thoughts in the comments section:
“Money doesn’t buy class.”
“Indians need to learn civic sense first. I’m Indian too, but I’m self-aware about proper behavior in public spaces.”
Frustration from Fellow Indians
Several users expressed their disappointment with such behavior:
“When someone says Indians lack decency, people get offended. I’ve seen this firsthand while working on a cruise ship. Indian guests often drew complaints from my colleagues.”
“As someone of half-Indian descent living in Germany, I find this behavior embarrassing. Loud conversations, lack of etiquette in public spaces, and a disregard for basic hygiene are too common.”
A Call for Change
The overwhelming consensus was clear: it’s high time individuals start respecting basic social norms and etiquette. This issue transcends nationality, and fostering civic sense is essential to improve collective experiences.
