Were they clapping because they were happy they survived?

@lemonrind

Clapping is a common habit upon landings. It's an expression of rejoice for ending a long flight, arriving safely, and probably applause to the pilot too!

was it a direct flight? I took OA to pearson once, but it took a 1 hr detour to YUL. Ps. this airline food sucked :|

[salehhaddad]

Yes, we had to land in Montreal for one hour.

What year did you fly with them? In 2007 the food was acceptable.

this flight doesn't make a stopover in montreal ?

[salehhaddad]

it does make a stop in Montreal

This little song in the Airbus aircrafts is second to none!

Chinguacousy/Mavis, McLaughlin, Dixie, the 410 - I've done this approach too. I like the clapping. I didn't think anyone did that any more!

Thanks for the vid!
