The Plane

This image is of the air conditioning in the plane. Because of the high heat and humidity outside the plane and with the doors open we entered what felt like a smoke filled cabin. When we first got on it was so bad you could see the person in front of you walking in the aisle towards your seat.
When we got to our seats there was an issue with the people across from us which having thought about must happen quite frequently. As we approached our seats we heard the flight attendant explain to the woman that it was aviation policy and nothing could be changed. To describe the situation. The plane had sets of three seats. In the row in front of John was two Muslim woman and a Keralite man by the window. In the row behind was a Qatari gentleman by the window, a young Muslim woman in the middle and John in the aisle. This woman was quite distraught as she was having to sit between two men, not from her family. You could see here sitting forward trying to distance herself from the two men beside her. The Qatari gentleman could see this distress and was trying to get the Keralite man to swap seats (which would allow her to sit with the other woman). The Qatari man was pleading with him as he could appreciate the woman’s stress. The problem was the Keralite man appeared fearful of losing his seat and was being communicated to in languages he didn’t understand. It was quite tense. The same situation was occurring to a lesser degree in the seats directly in front of us. In the end another man who spoke the same language came to the aid and spoke to the man, who was then prepared to swap seats. Something we probably don’t even think about but must be a bit of a nightmare here.
