When you go on an airplane, do you like having conversations with the stranger sitting next to you?

Question

Do most people like to, or do they not like to?

Answer 1

I used to fly back and forth to Europe quite a bit. On long flights, the main goal is to simply relax and try and get some sleep (If you are on a night flight there which is highly recommended). When you have a chatty neighbor, it really gets bothersome. Sometimes, I have had to move seats because of this, and other times, I could not move because none were available. Very annoying.

Answer 2

When traveling alone I don't mind having a conversation with people next to me, but basically ‘no’. I’d rather like to sit on my own reading something, listening to music or just enjoying the aerial view.

Answer 3

Only if the person I'm conversing with is:

1. interesting
2. funny
3. a hot blonde
4. a foreigner with a unique perspective
5. you ;)

Answer 4

depends on the person and how tired I am. i am not against it though. Most of the time the conversation is about my children though since they are there with me.

Answer 5

I personally hate it! Recently, I've been pretending that I don't speak English so that I don't have to spend a few hours listening and talking to them.

Answer 6

Only if you're a good looking women. Other than that, Shut the h*ll up !

Answer 7

I do if they seem freindly enough. I like meeting new people. Plus it makes the plane ride go so much quicker..

Answer 8

Yes I do......but I never asked for telephone numbers or emails

Answer 9

I try and leave them alone, if they are friendly, I'll talk to them, most traveler's are tired though.
