Boarding headache

[Passenger]

In the case of Spain, if you board during a week day then things usually go well because most of the passengers are retired and know the ropes.

Never go on a Friday or weekends because that's when the once a year mob get on with their noisy kids and things go wrong because the idiots can't even weigh their luggage or try to bring in oversize hand luggage that causes queues.

Ah but you get some hilarious vignettes when the hoi polloi meet the reality of budget air travel in the 21st Century...last return journey to Espana there was the inevitable face off at check in desk, a large, irate, loud northern woman whose bag was too heavy, upon being told she'd have to pay declaring WITH TREMENDOUS self belief, '' I'M NOT PAYING', over and over again to the utter disregard of the check in Attendant, who merely pointed out she no pay, she no take her luggage.

And then the highlight, we'd passed check in and passport/ customs, been herded to the room just prior to boarding. One blokes hand luggage was too large, the stewardess had politely requested he prove it would fit one of the sizing contraptions, otherwise it was for the main hold...Well this guy took the request like an insult to his manhood, that bag was gonna fit come what may, he's stamping on it, wrestling with it, in the end he tears off the wheelie apparatus entirely, rams it in the test thingy, then hoists the by now severely damaged case above his head, like the world cup, and declaring triumphantly to the whole room ''IT'LL FIT NOW''...ah Brits.
