I take your point, Christep. However, just because someone pays my salary doesn't give them the right to knowingly offend me. In the case of snapping fingers, I would politely point out that since they are heading to Britain, their cultural practice will offend people when they get there.

I once had a woman give me the two fingered salute to indicate "two". I laughed and told her what it meant and not to do it to anyone when we landed. She saw the funny side and was my buddy for the rest of the flight.

In some cultures it is considered acceptable to pinch a lady's buttocks if you find her attractive. Try doing that in the UK (or a UK airline for that matter) and see if you keep your face on.
