Top 5 passengers to travel with: 2nd of December 2014

At the end of each month I´ll give you a small resume of my top 5 and bottom 5 passengers’ nationalities to work with

1)      Japanese: this simple humanoid robots are the state-of-the-art when it comes to traveling. Not only they are quiet beyond silence but also clean beyond soap. Perfectly timed to check in and board they respect rules and the other as if it were to be the most precious thing that they would ever meet. Following a strict criteria of grooming and unprecedented folding-pack-away they know how-to travel in comfort. Style goes beyond than wearing the latest Prada bag when you have to go for a 13 hour flight. Style goes with comfort and both must be a perfect balance, Japanese achieve this with almost no effort whatsoever. Best flights are to Japan.

2)      South-Koreans: even so they still continue to be a very close society when it comes to foreigners (from my personal point of view), they respect all rules of social and personal etiquette. Well groomed and on-time passengers they travel exactly with what they need but sometimes they over-shop in the Duty Free. A flight from Soul is a chapel, not only for how quiet it is but also for how sainted you might feel as a crew. This creatures know their way in the airport even so they might be first time travelers – a joy of travel

3)      Finish: style – yes; education – top nudge. It has always surprised me the fact of how cultured and open minded Finish culture is regarding traveling and the world. They respect your work as a crew and don’t over push the capacity of your skills in almost any of your flights. Most of them know how to speak fluently at least 4 languages and their amazing virtue for education comes hand by hand with the fact of respect for human decency. Traveling with them is like going with a human talking Lonely Planet.

4)      Germans: on time – precision in the tik and tok. Without hesitation their culture is all about precision and the value of time. Time is money and it can’t be wasted, as for this in any of my flights I ever had a German come up late or as a “non-show”. They not only respect minutes as if they were to be gold but also understand that the abuse of it may harm others. Respect and silence is a must for them, if you say it you do it.

5)       Grey-zone > Thai: this super friendly culture may have to opposite that are very extreme from my point of view. Or they might be very warm and well educated or very ignorant and dirty minded. Depending in the flight and each passenger I may have a totally different anecdote. Once again, is all a matter of luck.
