British Airways recently surveyed a large number of their European customers, and asked them what the most annoying behavior is from their fellow passengers.
The results are not exactly a surprise, and probably very much in line with the kind of stuff that annoys us all.
Here is the top 5 of most annoying in-flight passenger behavior:
- Fellow passengers who kick the back of your seat.
- Parents who can’t control their kids.
- Passengers who constantly whine and rant during the flight.
- Passengers who fully recline their seat.
- Impatient passengers who get up as soon as the plane gets close to the gate.
So, this got me thinking about things fellow passengers do that annoy me – I could only think of 3 that were not already in the list above.
- Passengers who get out of their own seat by holding on to the back of my seat (usually waking me).
- Anyone who thinks of themselves as an “elite flier” and constantly wants others to know how important they are.
- Any passengers that feel the need to clap when the plane lands. Seriously, just don’t do it.
I want to know what kind of behavior from your fellow passengers annoys you the most – leave us a comment and we’ll see whether the British Airways survey was in line with our own annoyances.
