Indeed Cking…the jetbridge floor! And as it was a delayed flight and the stand which the aircraft gets allocated is based on whatever is available at the time of the late arrival, there’s no telling how many people had traipsed up and/or down it, or how many dirty/leaky bags of rubbish that the cleaners had dragged over it before the person in question decided to kiss it?!

I do wonder though whether they did actually kiss it full-on or whether they just bowed their head as close as they dared to go, but from where I was standing (directly opposite!), it certainly seemed like they planted their lips on the surface!

Personally, I thought it was a somewhat bizarre thing to of done there and then, regardless of the fact it caused the minor blockage, but thats why I thought I’d ask on here to see if anyone else might know of a reason why she may have done it, but like I said in my initial post I hope no-one takes offense to this if it is/was something that they do/did for religious purposes.

Kissing the floor is NOT an Islamic practice…

You are right, just confirmed from a colleague. Apologies for the mistake. Kneeling down is, not kissing the floor.

Thanks Buran/Kabir for confirming that.:)
