"Flying in Asia is nowhere near as dangerous as flying in Russia or Africa south of the Sahara
But look at the airline and look at the airports- somewhere remote in Indonesia Nepal or PNG flown by a low cost airline is certainly not as safe as a major airline fling into Bangkok or HK
But teh risk is very low really"
My experience of flying in Southern Africa is that they can be blase regarding safety.
On a flight form Windhoek to Jo'burg (on an almost empty aircraft) my friend and I laid out across the seats to sleep. We wakened when the aircraft landed!!!!! Flight attendants didn't waken us to sit up and put seatbelts on
