Hi all.
I recently flew JNB-CAI on Egyptair, and as this is a night flight arriving there at 5-ish AM, pillows and blankets were provided. Around 10min prior to landing, the cabin crew moved through the cabin ordering-and i mean ORDERING- all pax to put their blankets and pillows behind their backs, ie between their backs and the seatback. When one passenger questioned this, the FA repied "its important!".
Now I've never heard of cabin crew ordering pax to put pillows and blankets behind their backs just before landing...nothing appeared to be wrong at all, no announcements were made,and apart from what seemed to me to be an unusual configuration sequence of gear-flap-flap, everything was totally normal...i'm puzzled?
Is this SOP?
