Wait - is this an American thing now?
I ask as I’m American but have lived overseas for 25+ years. Europeans don’t clap. The two of us travel through different parts of Asia to see friends and family - no clapping on Asian flights either. Just grab your bag and exit asap.
This seems very weird.
I don't want to be mean if I say "Europeans" are a whole bunch of different nations and cultures. Yeah, some clap.
Those that were later to discover flight. Italians and Portugese
Hm. Never flown to either, but (speaking of Europe only) to Spain, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Germany, Poland and the UK (whether they want to be considered Europe or not) I’ve never seen that. Italy comes next year - we’ll brace ourselves for applause.
