Flying around South Africa? Be prepared to share your armrests, says Kulula survey
South African flyers are more diplomatic, according to Kulula Holidays. Or put differently, most South Africans – 73% of passengers recently surveyed by Kulula on their holiday habits –"believe armrests should be shared equally among seatmates" and not be for the exclusive use of middle-seat flyers.
And while South Africans believe sharing armrests is the right thing to do, taking coat hangers, plug adapters, bathrobes, or towels from hotels is a step too far. "Most South African travellers readily admit to slipping items into their bag before checking out of a hotel," said"But, in most cases, these items are harmless bathroom conveniences like soaps and toiletry kits , stationery like pens and notepads , and slippers ."
Only two respondents admitted to taking coat hangers from their hotels, while five said they had snagged bathrobes. Almost 200 respondents – 16% of the travellers surveyed – said they didn't take any items when checking out of hotels. Adding to South African passengers' in-flight diplomacy, Kulula Holidays found that local travellers were equally courteous. Almost 80% of respondents said that if they had broken something in their hotel room, they would"inform staff and offer to pay for it."
