Based on observation (one method of doing research), these are some types of airline passengers-
Corporate and Pseudo-corporate - they are usually carrying a laptop which they pretend to work on during the flight. Some carry a coat-case, while some wear a jacket- without a tie, as per prevailing fashion.
Mom or family with noisy kid- The kid makes a racket, and the Mom/Dad lovingly look on.
Loo-minous ones- always visit the loo, two times or three, starting within five minutes of the flight. Leaving airport loos much cleaner, I guess.. not sure about the in-flight ones.
The Demanding Customers- they demand things which they wouldn't at home. Usually male, wanting water, tea or extras that they haven't paid for.
Rude Rushers- they rush around and push people as if there's a Gold Medal for the fastest exiter.
Mindful Monks- they rarely speak, nod once or twice, and keep to their meditation mostly.
Mobile-watchers- after Kingfisher went bust, the TV screens disappeared. So these guys make up by watching some unwatchable muck throughout the journey.
