I'm a reasonably unassuming passenger (proved by my occasional Ryanair flights), and I have a question for the experts.
Is it permitted to clutter up the emergency exit floor-space between seat rows with bags etc during a flight?
If it is permitted, it seems a bit daft.
OK, I said one question, but this is an observation.
At Liverpool Airport, my toiletries were confiscated for being in 'the wrong kind of plastic bag', which is obviously a major security matter. Yet, from entry to the airport to boarding the plane, the only time my passport was checked was at the boarding gate, by the harassed young lady boarding a delayed flight.
My wife and I had inadvertently swapped boarding passes and passports, but our faces were not looked at, and we just went through.
I would have thought that real security measures would outweigh the need to make 50p for a 'proper' plastic bag. My old friendly bag had made a dozen flights in and out of Britain over the past couple of years without question.
I think it must be me.
