TRAVEL : Selfish things other passengers do to make their travel better

To travel comfortably on the plane, train or bus, some people come up with weird tricks that make the journey worse for others. PHOTOI FILE.

What you need to know:

  • I met a guy who says he gets two seats for the price of one on long train rides. His trick is to buy beer in the station, puts a few cans on the tray table, and stare like a fake drunk at whoever starts to sit next to him. Result: He spreads out; everyone else crams in elsewhere.
