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!!
