Hi David,
I think you may have missed the original post. The flight was already 3 hours old when it had to hold for an hour. The seat belt sign was on for that last hour restricting pax to their seats.
That is not unusual, especially if the aircraft was holding at a lower level in a holding pattern in bad weather. Anyway, a holding pattern requires turns of 180 degrees every few minutes and it is not a good time for a pax to be moving around the cabin or using a toilet.
If the holding pattern was being conducted at low level, and the holding was the result of bad weather there may have been some turbulence involved.
If pax were complaining I'm pretty sure that the FAs would have notified the flight crew and consideration would have been given to the status of the seat belt sign given the circumstances.
Regards
Stephen
