One of the coolest things I get to experience in my role at BuildDirect is seeing things that many others wouldn’t see. This little video shows one of those moments. I was flying from Shenzhen airport in the south of China up north to Shenyang airport on a Chinese domestic airline call Shenzhen Airlines.
Other than the obvious differences in the service, language, food and ‘movie’ selection (I’m a little concerned that the general population that fly domestic Chinese airlines may all end up with hearing problems. They certainly are not shy on the volume level of said movies…) I have learned that the most unusual difference in the exercise routine that happens on longer flights (usually 2.5 hours+ in duration).
Here is a small clip of an exercise session that the entire plane took part in.
The flight attendants respectfully asked me not to film this, so I had to try and do it without drawing too much attention … it isn’t a great reflection of what happened, the starting part had a lot more arms waving in the air, but you get the general idea.

Domestic flights are always delayed due to the traffic control and you can do nothing but just wait for more than 2 hours.
