I went to Ibiza in May and one person clapped. Think it was on the way back to Manc, actually.Perhaps this is a dying phenomenon but I haven't witnessed any clapping lately. Then again I haven't been in Eastern Europe either where it was most prevalent in my experience. Hit me up if you've recently been party to any unnecessary clapping for landing a plane.
The clapper stopped pretty quickly. If there was such a thing as an embarassed clap, this was it.I saw a TikTok the other day with a group of friends that travel together.
They play a game and the loser has to loudly clap on landing so everything thinks they’re a dick.
Since I last replied to this thread 10 years ago I have clapped a landing!
We flew to Bilbao in February and the last 20 minutes of the flight we had rollercoaster turbulence. It was frightening basically. And when we landed everyone clapped with relief. Me included and I was happy to!!
is that not a daily occurence in some parts of Italy and Spain? I remember the road to Amalfi as scary, so much so I didn't go back when I revisited the Sorrento area with my daughter some yrs ago.Never experienced this phenomenon but there was a relieved and heartfelt round of applause after our coach driver had negotiated some mountain hairpins on a tour of the volcanic bit of the island.
Sorry, I didn't specify it was a busload of tourists on a day trip in Lanzaroteis that not a daily occurence in some parts of Italy and Spain? I remember the road to Amalfi as scary, so much so I didn't go back when I revisited the Sorrento area with my daughter some yrs ago.
Never heard any clapping on a plane and was on a flight where even the flight attendants looked fecking scared going into London City, the guy opposite me said he was getting the train home!
