Okay, I think I’ve ranted enough about my recent Royal Jordanian experience, between the bad soft product on the Boeing 787-8, and the awful hard product on the Embraer E190-E2. In this post I’d like to discuss a topic more broadly, which I can’t really make sense of.
Some other countries take a much more extreme approach with this concept, and have them on virtually all flights. For example, EgyptAir has security officers onboard flights, who act as air marshals. They’re in uniform, so they’re not really supposed to be hidden.
Go figure I also like sitting in the last row of business class, so I try to be strategic. They’re usually chill guys, and they don’t take issues with me taking pictures of the cabin. However, since I know who they are, I get onboard, comment to them “wow, isn’t this beautiful,” or maybe throw in a “it’s my first time in business class, I’m very excited” comment, just to squash any concerns.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
