Air Rage Is Common In China
You are probably familiar with the term road rage. This refers to anger expressed by drivers on roads and highways. A driver may lose his temper if another driver cuts him off, slows him down, or steals a parking spot. Road rage causes many accidents every year. Have you heard about air rage? This refers to angry outbursts related to flight travel. Air rage may occur at the ticket counter, at the baggage claim, or even on the airplane. In China, where travel headaches such as delayed flights are on the rise, air rage is becoming a big concern. In fact, the Chinese government is considering adopting a no fly list. This will prevent offending travellers from boarding Chinese planes.
