I know. Strictly speculation about their origin/residence.

BWI may service DC but the people of DC have 2 other options. Virtually everyone from Baltimore flies out of BWI.


All totally speculation obviously. And of course most people in Baltimore doesn't fit this description. But given the storyline Dundalk does not sound out of the question.

I don't understand why the flight cre didn't make the passengers turn it off.

People can be such jerks about volume. If you have headphones on and I can still hear it, it's too loud. If it's playing on your phone or through a speaker for everyone to hear. That's rude.

I would never resort to physical violence, but if they refused to turn their speaker off I would of spent the rest of flight complaining to them.

There is a reason why Spirit is rated the #1 Worst airline.

Most stuff like this can be avoided by just flying at night. Late at night.




The last three times I have flown, I always booked flights at night. I had to go from Seattle to New York on a trip and left Seattle at 12:05 am, the plane was not full and both seats next to me were empty. It's called Melatonin. A great natural supplement that induces sleep. Woke up 5+ hours later to a quiet, well behaved plane, approaching LaGuardia airport.

I will say this looks more like some pushing match and really not some big deal as far as the violence goes. Probably just a chick fight.
What's the big deal if people dress comfortably for a flight? I wear jeans, sneakers and t-shirts when I fly.

I dunno ... difficult situation .... I hate it when someone in a car has music blasting ..,,, not sure what I would do if it was in a plane.

Maybe ask them to turn it off. If they refused, yank it from their hands, take out the batteries and give it back, tell them I would give the batteries back when we got off the plane. If they attack me, well, self defense you know.

First class is in demand because the coach seats keep getting smaller, they nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING now, the rise in obesity has presented a HUGE problem with people not fitting and spilling over onto the next seat and don't forget that if you recline the tray table behind you can't be used and that's lead to fights and emergency landing.

As for not dressing up, flying used to be a "luxury" experience. The way people are packed in like sardines, I only wear comfy clothes like yoga pants a t-shirt and a sweatshirt. I also wear the same things if I fly private.

Freakin idiots. They should be banned from flying that airline ever again. You act like an idiot, there needs to be a fitting punishment.
