You realize you’re in a Pakistani flight when…

...
4. People seeking a wheel chair to get on / off first and then walking off briskly after the immigration is done at destination.

Really! That's low man.

I have traveled with various airlines and with people from many countries (I travel a lot for work).
None of the points mentioned in this article fit only on Pakistanis. The percentage of people doing these things was more or less same in every flight. However Pakistanis do tend to ignore the rules/instructions more blatantly than others.

that being said, here's my most annoying flight experience.

I was flying from Istanbul to Islamabad (via Turkish Airlines). Long story short, few tableeghi jamat people boarded the flight. Here are the highlights,

1. The completely ignored crew's requests/warnings to sit down during TAKE OFF. But the mullahs won't have any of it. Because the take off happened to be at exact same time as Maghrib prayers.
2. then the mullahs had to find the direction of Qibla. They gathered around a Turkish air hostess and tormented her about it. She literally begged them to sit down.
   
3. After that mullahs gathered at the back of aircraft for jamat.
   
4. Fun didn't end here. After praying, they went from seat to seat (one by one) for dars (Islamic lessons). They requested one person from each seat to leave their seat so that one mullah can sit there and preach.
5. Mullah were running rampant during the flight (even during turbulence when the CAPTAIN was requesting on intercom to please sit down).

It was extremely embarrassing and unbearable. Seriously my fellow Pakistanis, what happened to us? We used to be cool.

This shit made me literally lol.

That is hilarious...

3 weeks back, i was travelling in SPIRIT airlines...You can not imagine how chaotic the situation is...

When boarding starts...they call for zone number...Trust be all the people in the plane start running to counter to board...Man i was scarred...My impression that in US, all civilized people only stay..the myth was broken...They just run and push each other to get to the top...And the funny thing is Indian/South Asian people seems to be descent people among them...Because they also feel surprised why people are running when seat number is already allocated...no one is going to take away your seat..

- Next part...you passed your counter, then you have a long queue before flight gate...then there will be a ugly fight with people crossing the line and going to front....
- Most intresting part...people occupy the seat without really bothering if the seat is of someone else...Then literally poor flight attendant requests to some people that the seat where they are seating is not their seat....And trust me...those people are with suit and blazer and fully loaded with civilized attire....

So this is one of the most interesting moment of my flight experience where i felt proud that our Indian people behaved far better than western people in an US domestic flight..Otherwise..things are always opposite...

Desis act better when they are surrounded by ferangis or else they are plain animals, you can also see the same where desis will obey all traffic laws in Western countries but then look at the halat in our countries.

Reached Pakistan in 1 piece via PIA

Disagree completely, Only the supreme authority who judges us all has the idea of who is a Muttaqi and who is a pretender.
We have zero discretion on that. One can be pious all their life and make one little mistake which will be their downfall. Or one can be a criminal all their life and do one deed that is their salvation.

As for the Mullah's, the term had its respect back then. It has little now. The term Maulvi was the highest given to one in education; now an uneducated fellow with rudimentary knowledge of religion is termed as such because he is forced to sit in the mosque and lead the prayer since life found him no better avenue.

Agree to Disagree and what I have written is not to judge any one but all I said is difference between Muttaqi and a Show Off I am not judging any one but talking about the lines been drawn for us to understand what is right and what is wrong ... But what you are saying here is something absolutely different and I am agreed what you have said COMPLETELY AGREED.

Talking/Requesting to Pakistani passengers is like "bhens ke age been bajane wali baat"
These people are hopeless (most)

Forget all else, I remember flying on PIA from Isb to Khi a few months ago and gosh! The AC took an hour to turn on: all this when all passengers had been seated there.

The return flight was on Air Blue, so that weren't all chic and yes, they have much more interesting hostesses.

Sorry boss, the "AC" would not start until the engines start. Yes they do have a ground AC, which they hook up to the airplane when people are boarding, but some airports don't have that facility.
