Plane passenger sparks heated debate after making mid-flight matcha latte
THE actions of a passenger on a flight have sparked a heated debate among flyers.
People rushed forward with their opinions on TikTok after a user shared a video of herself making a matcha latte from her seat.
TikToker Jaz Hand filmed herself from the plush seats of a business class flight telling viewers: “Make a matcha on a plane with me.”
She went on to make the iced version of the green tea leaf drink.
But, it was not as simple as simply adding some Matcha powder to some cold milk and drinking it.
First, she got out a bowl and a small sieve to sift the matcha powder which she then put into a glass, added water from a bottle and then used an electric hand frother to combine the ingredients.
If that wasn’t enough faff, she then put ice cubes into a plastic drinking cup, poured in the milk, and then added the watery matcha mix.
She then prepared another addition for the drink which may have been a sweetener which she mixed in a glass with water before also adding that to her drink.
Finally, she was done with her concoction, placing a lid on the top, adding a straw and giving it a stir and sip.
“That is so good dude,” she mouthed to the person next to her.
However, her travel buddy and fellow TikToker Riley Hemson posted a video of her own from the flight in which she seemed less than impressed at Jaz’s onboard antics.
I can’t believe she’s doing this on the plane?” Hemson said in her own video showing the matcha latte creation from her point of view.
“I’ve seen it all truly,” she added.
“This would enrage me,” one shocked viewer wrote in the comments.
“Socially unacceptable,” another said.
“Hey so this is insane…….And I am 110% here for it and in full support ICONIC behaviour,” a third wrote.
Others argued that the TikToker should try to do the same in economy class while others questioned where she got the ice from.
While some were shocked at her actions, others were supportive.
“It’s true commitment to the matcha addiction,” one joked.
Plane etiquette
IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules...
RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn’t recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop.
He said: “Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half.”
Before you recline your seat, it’s best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing.
If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back.
FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: “Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for.
“Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else.
“If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up.”
CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren’t welcome, suggesting that others shouldn’t expect a chat.
She added: “I’m not a talker. Plane time is me time.”
“No but when you have to travel like A LOT like 2-3 times in a week you start to do everything on planes trust me,” another said.
“Why is everyone freaking out over this let her have her matcha,” a third argued.
“I mean as long as she’s not being annoying with the noise for too long.”
Another flyer shared the shocking moment a passenger seated next to them decided to make a snack.
“I once sat next to someone who whipped out a loaf of bread a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam and proceeded to make sandwiches,” they said.
Another debate was sparked over the summer after a passenger dropped a bombshell decision about those who sit on the aisle seat.
In the US a mid-flight drink service saw a man filed a lawsuit seeking $150,000 after he claimed he was left with a disfigured penis and scarred testicles from scalding water.
