One of the (unintentionally funniest things I've seen on long distance travel was Richard Quest breathlessly and enthusiastically interviewing punters on the inaugural SQ A340-500 SIN-EWR flight ..
As the flight progressed they were less and less inclined to speak to RQ until at the end of the 18 hour ordeal, pax after pax hurriedly brushed past him, desperate to get off the flight. Quest was desperately trying to get someone to talk to him, a few words from a seasoned traveler...but no. Not a peep.
