8 Types Of People You'll Meet On Board

You immerse yourself in new cultures, grow your palette by sampling different types of food and all in all, come out a well-rounded person by the end of it (the shopping helps, too!). But, before you get to do all this, you must first endure check-in queues at the airport, long-haul (or short) flights and the people on them. One of the best (or worst!) places to meet new folk is on board an aircraft — your patience may be tested, nerves may bulge out from underneath your skin or you just might meet someone super interesting. Here’s a roundup of some of the individuals you will very likely encounter on your next flight.

Disclaimer: The reader is strongly encouraged to travel with headphones (bonus if they’re noise cancelling!) if a relatively quiet journey is required.
