@hkeye_: On 22 October, footage of Hong Kong parents continuously berating ground staff at Japan’s Narita Airport was uploaded to social media by an eyewitness, sparking widespread online debate. The dispute reportedly arose from their dissatisfaction that their tickets, priced at 1,500 HKD, did not include in-flight meals. At the Hong Kong Airlines check-in counter, the family of four, travelling with two prams, used their luggage to obstruct the aisle while persistently scolding staff. They demanded a complimentary upgrade to Business Class or financial compensation equivalent to four in-flight meals, insisting on management intervention. During the incident, the family disrupted normal operations by refusing to comply with instructions to allow other passengers to check in. After ascertaining that the ground staff did not speak Cantonese, the man proceeded to mock the employee’s “English is not good enough”. Netizens have strongly criticised the family’s actions, condemning the behaviour as excessive and stating that it “tarnishes the image of Hong Kongers”. #hongkongnews #hongkong #japan #naritaairport #disturbance #passenger #family #hongkonger #hkeye #criticism #viralmoment #excessive #intervention #dispute #incident #anger #berat #mock #checkin #disrupt #dissatisfaction #inflightmeal #luggage #travel #fyp
