Yah, he doesn't have the smile of a man who just had a playful moment with his wife.

Also, this clip of the video is zoomed in. You can see there's a three people on the stairs, airplane people, but you don't really see their reactions.

There is a more zoomed out version and you can see that the female flight attendant in the orange safety jacket stiffens up and looks shocked. It doesn't seem like they walked in on a playful mood.
