There are rules for arm rests in flights. The middle person gets two arm rests and the two on the side have their own arm rests and leaning positions. Yeah I had Indians on a flight in south east asia and they have no understanding of personal space and don't even listen after being told off.Whenever my flight to Pakistan transits from Dubai, I dread it
The passengers boarding from Dubai, specially of one certain ethnicity are very illiterate and have bad attitude.
I can write two incidents.
Booked a flight months in advance, booked window seat and the one with more leg room.
Flight from Manchester to Dubai was great.
Has a 12 hour stay in Dubai, went out to the city and enjoyed. Upon boarding the Emirates flight from Dubai to Pakistan, I found my seat already occupied by a woman in Shuttle cork attire. I tried to talk to the man sitting next to her , asking him to ask the woman to find her seat as that's mine. The man just ignored me.
I asked the flight attendant to help me out. She talked to the guy, and was told that he is with two women and they want to sit together.
He could have just talked to me , and I would not have had any problems giving up my seat.
But I was constantly ignored.
Not jut thst. Was also snarled at .
On another occasion I was with my family in the middle row . We occupied three seats. The one next to me was empty, and a guy came sat on it, and straight away started arguing with me for the armrest. I removed my arm from the arm rest. He then threw a blanket on himself, with half of it on me. I told him that I don't want his blanket on me, and he had another weird argument with me in his pushto accent , saying he will do what he wants and I should shut up.
Then he sat so wide that his fat body was spilling into my space.
I had enough, and threw his blanket away, and pushed him aside.
For the next half a minute, both of us were punching each other, until the flight attendants broke the fight.
After explaining the situation to the staff, he was moved to another seat, away from me.
It didn't end there. After landing in Islamabad, he was standing outside with his guys waiting for me . Luckily I too had my boys with me, and we could intimidate them away .

Same everwhere man, I have been on Easyjet flights from Stansted to Spain and white chavs can be worse then our own.
On long haul that is why I fly Business, at my age i cannot be handling shit like this anymore, yeah it's pricey but worth it for me. Appreciate that is hard for a large family.

It was similar on direct flights from UK to Islamabad during 80s and 90s ... travelling with paindo British Pakistanis was never a pleasant experience....I am glad British Pakistanis have learnt some manners.Whenever my flight to Pakistan transits from Dubai, I dread it

Bro , it all boils down to education and exposure... majority of workers in middle east are semi literates or illiterateYeah, to be fair many of the reasons were economic. Back in the 80s, to fly a family over, even in economy, to Pakistan from UK was a BIG DEAL for the average family. Once a year or once every two years we went. Not many UK Pakistanis could go frequently and that was their only real experiance of airports and flying (There was no Easyjet or Ryan air, and flights even to Europe were pricey), so I think not many knew what to do or how to behave. These days the Arab carriers will get you to Pakistan for £500 and a flight to Spain will be the price of a large family meal out, so peoples experiances and use of more digital processes have made people more aware and travel more frequently
Dont get me wrong, Dubai to Pak can still have its challenges I imagine but generally I find Pakistani travellers more respectful then many other nationals
