A Bangkok to India flight has sparked debate online after a travel blogger shared a video showing littered seats and poor passenger behaviour by Indian passengers, raising questions about in-flight etiquette and responsibility.
The video was shared on Instagram by travel blogger Sandhya Majji, who expressed strong concern over the state of the cabin after the flight.
In her caption, Majji questioned whether it is the responsibility of parents to control their children or clean up after them, especially when passengers leave behind trash during journeys.
She said this was not a one-off experience and claimed she often sees similar scenes on flights, including those from Bangkok to India routes.
In the video, she shows the cabin littered with pieces of torn boarding passes left behind on seats and the floor after the flight.

Littering on flights criticised:
Majji also pointed out that littering is not limited to children, but is also seen among adults. According to her, such behaviour leads to discomfort for fellow passengers and creates a negative impression.
In her post, she further compared the condition of the aircraft to a “government bus in a village in India”.
She added that passengers sometimes complain about being targeted or judged, but such behaviour only worsens perceptions.
The blogger also highlighted how such incidents can impact flight operations. When passengers leave behind a mess, cabin crew are required to clean and prepare the aircraft before the next take-off. This can contribute to delays and increase the workload for airline staff.

Here’s how people reacted to the video:
Instagram users reacted to the video with mixed opinions, with some supporting the blogger’s concern over passenger behaviour and others saying such incidents should not be generalised.
One of the users commented, “They are so used to someone else cleaning up their trash.”
A second user commented, “Some adults permit their child to litter the place just to keep the child occupied!”
A third user commented, “But aren’t you Indian? Is it fair to pick one child’s behaviour and apply it to 1.4bn people because that would include you too?”
“This is absolutely nonsense behaviour, who did this in flight. Parenting failed drastically here….” another user commented.
