Not everyone travels in business class. And it shows!

Some people experience a flight as a moment of relaxation, and others experience it as a pressurized gladiator arena at 10,000 meters. Here's a look (ironic, but not too much) at the increasingly frequent fights on airplanes.

High altitude, low tolerance.

There was a time when flying evoked images of smiling stewardesses, meals served on tin trays and children gazing out the window at the clouds with enchanted eyes.

Today, however, flying has become an unscripted reality show: welcome to "Brawls in the Clouds - Economy Plus Edition."

Every day a new episode.

A couple argues because he dared to recline his seat three degrees.

A woman launches into a verbal freestyle because the person sitting next to her dares to take off his shoes.

A passenger shouts "freedom!" while refusing to turn off his iPad.

The only thing missing is Barbara D’Urso in the cockpit commenting with a stunned look.

And then there are the real gladiators of the air: those who occupy the central armrest as if it were the Iron Throne.

Or the parents who transform into stuntmen to change diapers during turbulence, while the rest of the plane considers jumping out with their life jackets.

In the meantime, the crew, with the aplomb of those who have seen hell and chosen to work there, distributes snacks and polite smiles, while with one hand dials the number of Interpol.

Perhaps the thin air makes us all more susceptible, or perhaps it’s just that, in the sky, as on the ground, no one wants to give up their seat (or free Wi-Fi) anymore.

In short, flying is no longer an experience: it’s an extreme sport.

And the destination? That arrives, yes… but only after the passenger of 14C has finished explaining to everyone that he paid for the ticket.

Conclusion

If you sit quietly, don’t recline your seat, and smile at your neighbor…you’re not flying.

You’re on Netflix, watching a documentary about airplanes!
