Canadian Influencer Amazed by Passenger Patience on IndiGo Flight: Is India Changing?

  • Caleb Friesen, a Canadian influencer living in India for eight years, shared an unusual flight experience.
  • On an IndiGo flight from Mizoram to Kolkata, passengers remained seated after the seatbelt sign turned off, surprising Friesen.
  • He noted the absence of the usual 'eager uncle' rushing to stand, calling it a rare display of patience and collective consciousness.
  • Friesen humorously admitted to becoming the 'uncle' himself due to his impatience to stand after a long flight.
  • He believes this incident, despite a return to old habits on a subsequent flight, indicates a slow but significant change towards more civic sense and patience in India as its economy matures.
