I think I know who it was. The dates and origination makes sense.

"One of the passengers coming from Sydney proceeded to walk up and down the left side Suites Class aisle for what must have been 30 minutes. If you’re going to do that, seems to make a lot more sense to walk around the plane, rather than the same ~30 foot stretch over and over".


I'm willing to bet that was one of the "hasidic" guys and he was probably davening

From his trip report on the SQ380 FRA-JFK.

There were a few empty Suites Class seats on this sector. There was a middle aged Singaporean couple coming from Singapore, a German businessman-type, and then six New Yorker Hasidic Jews (three couples) that were traveling all the way from Sydney, if I overheard them correctly. :)


I think the comments on the story were even more interesting.

+1 seemed like people jumped on Lucky for no reason. He's very good at just describing what happened, not his views, or opinions really(except for the pacing, which honestly is a little strange as Dan said). I happened to think the way Lucky writes is very impartial, and objective, and only tries to impart his subjectivity for critique purposes, and sometimes to be humorous. But, he seems pretty PC. People will always hate on bloggers. Dan knows that first hand lol.

And yet the point is well made. Would he have recounted the trip in the same manner had the 6 individuals been Blacks? Indians? Muslims?

I don't know, but I doubt it.

And this is why you are supposed to travel with your passport even on a short domestic weekend getaway. You just never know what would come up.

If i would have my passport I would have done it. >:(
