Even four years back, inside Airport we won't find rush but when I went to Delhi Airport on 19th morning, it looked like Chennai Central Railway station. Avoid to take morning flight because of mad(??) rush in the airport. To catch 0700 hours IAC flight to Patna, I reached airport at 0555 hours thinking I am going too early and there won't be much rush in terminal 1A from where Indian and King Fisher Airline operates their departures. When I went, rush was too much and people were standing for security clearance till the gate (may be 300+ in the line) . After getting the boarding pass, I could reach the flight only at 0720 hrs and flight got delayed by an hour. It is better to catch evening flight always.
During flight journey we can come across many type of people with different behaviours. We can see people carrying bags with dead-old security check tags. ( கசங்கி, நஞ்சி பிஞ்சி போன), somebody will have "n" number of such old tags (அல்பங்கள்?-- want to show they are frequent traveller and toooo busy not finding time to remove these tags ? !!) and will search for current one when security person wants to see.
People will be waiting for boarding announcement and when the call comes, you can find everyone running ( முட்டி மோதி ) to the gate to form line just like standing to get ticket for Rajinikant film. Many of them will not book huge big bags but will carry as hand baggage and will make comment that service is poor and waste of time to get the baggage at destination, if booked.
When they get into the shuttle service bus, no one will want to go inside the bus and will stand near the gate itself (Want to board flight quickly - otherwise they won't find space to keep the bag !!). While going in the shuttle or after boarding the flight you can often listen to the following dialogues
1. Ya Ya. I am just in airport moving to flight. I am going to get into the flight
2. I am going to board Airbus now
3. I won't take your call after few minutes as I am getting into Air Taxi etc etc.
Those who do not get a phone call normally will also try to use mobile at this point of time !!
Next update will start once they sit in their seat. Again it will in a high pitched voice almost having same type of phrases as above. Somebody will go further also. If they don't get a phone call, just to show off, they will call someone and will inform them that they will not be available on phone for next few hours and will ask other person not to call him !!!
Before flight starts, crew will start serving water (Due to cost cutting, they stopped offering chocolates). When the crew is at row say 1, person from row 10 will start pressing the call button again and again just to ask water !!( Arey Baba !!! Can't you wait for 2 more minutes ?). Next requirement will come some of the passengers -- irrespective of time -- even at 2200 hours -- "Please get me today's news paper -> Economic Times" as if he is going to take decision on world economic. If it was not available, I can't explain the face expression of that person here -- will keep his face in அஷ்ட கோணல் cursing unknown people.
