I flew to Montreal this week and took a picture of the plane inside as there were only 5 people on my flight then I took a picture of the front and the flight attendant asked me why I took a picture of the cockpit door. She asked me to remove the picture otherwise she would need to call security. I simple deleted the picture.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Smart move. You can take it up with the airline after, not worth being removed from your flight.

Only once on Spirit Airlines was I told that federal regulations prohibited me from taking pictures of the aircraft. Otherwise, I never had an issue.

A little bit off topic here, but on a KLM flight recently, while the steward was serving meals there was no way for me to get to the rear of the plane to use  the restroom for economy class, so I asked if I could use the business class restrooms and he said I could.

As I'm waiting to use the occupied restroom in business another stewardess notices me and scoldingly says to me you don;t belong here, I tell her I got permission and she responds "oh really?!" I said I did and she walks off. A dew moments later, she tells me rudely, don't you know you are in our way here maybe move out of way. 

Should I bother sending this to KLM? Can I expect to receive any sort of compensation?

Thanks
