When you get on a plane and arrive at your seat, what approach do you typically take when it comes to small talk? Do you say nothing? Do you say hello? Do you start a conversation and ask the person next to you how they’re doing?
I’m curious how others feel about this, because I certainly have my “system,” though I realize I’m probably more introverted than most… or maybe have just been flying too long, and have had too many seat mate conversations that I wish had never happened.
I also sort of live in fear of a situation where I’m stuck talking to someone I don’t want to talk to, with no easy escape. That’s one of the reasons that I generally avoid conversations with strangers on airplanes, and it’s also one of the things I don’t love about some weddings, where you don’t know who you’re going to end up sitting next to.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
