My people

You know you are on a flight from Bahrain to Lahore when half the people in the plane decide to stand up a good ten minutes before the plane actually lands.Whether the seat belt sign is on or the Gulf Air staff plead that you sit down for your own safety is irrelevant. Again you know you are on this very flight when cell phones start ringing before the jet wheels hit ground. Lastly, you know you landed at Lahore airport when more than half the people in the ladies queue for immigration are men.

I had a good laugh on your description above. It is funny. I guess each country would have some bad habits.

LOL! i absolutely hate that part of my long and tedious trips...the trips starting out from the gulf region till Lahore are absolutely terrible... men ogle u throughout and are plain rude. if u have to put away your hand baggage and it is slightly too heavy (always the case), every man around will watch u struggle and enjoy but will not offer to help.
oh and u forgot to mention the blankets on the luggage belt, they always manage to crack me up.
