Just when you think you’ve seen it all while flying, the internet serves up another unexpected scene—this time, a group of men casually playing cards mid-flight, blocking the aircraft aisle with a shawl-strung makeshift table. The video, now viral, is drawing both laughs and fury online, with many questioning the audacity and the apparent lack of basic flight safety awareness.
Posted by entrepreneur Mahaveer Jain on Instagram, the clip shows a group of passengers turning the aircraft cabin into their personal game room. A shawl is stretched out between four seats to act as a playing surface, as the men deal cards, seemingly unbothered by the fact that they’re blocking the aisle—an essential passageway in case of emergencies or even routine bathroom visits. While some on social media were amused by the railway-style jugaad in the skies, many others weren’t as entertained.
Netizens react
Comments flooded in, with many users calling out the group for lacking basic etiquette and consideration. Several pointed out how the setup could block access to the restroom and disrupt other passengers, questioning why neither the flight crew nor fellow travellers intervened to stop the activity.
However, not everyone saw the incident as a problem. Some viewers felt the card game was harmless and argued that it wasn’t disturbing anyone. Others took a more humorous stance, comparing the mid-air scene to the hustle and chaos of an Indian train’s general compartment, finding amusement in the unexpected display. The video has reignited conversations around in-flight behaviour, civic responsibility, and what counts as harmless fun versus outright inconvenience.
