An American Airlines passenger expressed dismay when the individual seated next to him in first class was observed "blatantly watching porn" as the plane awaited takeoff. The incident has raised questions about appropriate behavior and content consumption on flights.
The reporting passenger commented, “That’s clearly not appropriate. Watch what you like in private, but airplane seats really aren’t private. ‘There may be kids around’ but there may be adults around, too, who don’t want to think about what you are thinking about while you watch it.”
While modern movies often include racy scenes, and opinions on what constitutes inappropriate content can vary, there seems to be a consensus that certain actions cross a line. A flight attendant previously shared an anecdote on Facebook about a passenger who spent an unusually long time in the lavatory. After repeated knocking, he emerged with an iPad in hand, revealing he had been watching a movie inside.
