My first post, delighted to be part of the AFF community, I travel extensively for business (and leisure) and have done so many (many) years.

The other day I was asked by a friend over a beer what was the weirdest / strangest thing I had seen on a flight? I had to think long and hard about (besides observing many "bogan antics") I then recalled this one. I was flying PG (Bangkok Air) from BKK/coughet a few years back and the couple sitting across the aisle from me took turns in picking nits (lice/cooties) out of each others hair and showing their partner each little crawly critter that was removed. This "grooming session" went on at least 45 minutes. Yuk! As I type this I feel my scalp itch (Ha!). Needless to say the offer of an inflight meal on this PG service was declined.

Safe travels!

Have to admit I haven't seen much in the way of passenger antics in flight.

Once someone (sitting in the exit row) screamed in shock when the plane landed.
