Survey reveals the worst habits that people have when you’re sitting next to them on a plane

Paul Moore

Notice any of these?

Certain people are incredibly cool, calm and collected whenever they’re on a plane – they’re easy to spot because it seems like they’re as chilled as Andrea Pirlo sipping on a fine wine – but other people absolutely hate the experience of flying.

Nerves, mild claustrophobia and sheer tiredness from those god awful 7 a.m flights when you feel like a zombie are all perfectly legitimate reasons for some cranky behaviour while flying but there’s a lot to said for those incredibly annoying passengers also.

In a new survey released today by Hipmunk, 1,650 people revealed what types of travelers were the most deplorable when it came to long plane rides and in no particular order, here they are.

1) The drunk

Loud, obnoxious and unpredictable. They’ll probably ask the cabin crew for 17 beers whenever they’re serving food/drinks.

2) The talker

Al they seem to do is yak, yak, yak about their lives and it’s not even remotely interesting. Don’t these people know the golden rule when it comes to travelling? If your earphones are in then there’s no talking allowed.

Don't Care

3) The sickie

Did the film Outbreak not teach us anything? If you’ve got the flu then don’t inhabit a place where airborne germs are constantly being recycled.

4) The seat kickers

It seems like they’re giving your seat a harder kick than Ronaldo would when he’s taking a free kick.

5) The travel braggers

“China was so good because I really felt like I found myself there. Have you been there. It’s so good, what’s stopping you? Do you know what I mean?”.

6) Selfie takers

Don’t worry, people that take 73 selfies in just 5 minutes aren’t narcissistic or crazy at all.

7) Seat tilters

“It’s ok, I don’t mind flying for the next few hours with my knees scrunched up towards my chest “. Jackasses.joeyangry

8) Designated spot merchants

Their ticket clearly says that they’ve got the aisle seat and yet they insist on having the window one. This is what they should do. Bon voyage.
