Between rising ticket prices and shrinking legroom, passengers have a lot to complain about on planes these days. But it seems it’s the way others behave on the flight that really gets people upset, and new research reveals the biggest offenders.
According to a YouGov survey of 1,152 U.S. adults, these are the worst things you can do on an airplane:
- Passengers letting their kids play in the aisle (86%)
- Getting drunk (82%)
- Leaving their seat during turbulence (82%)
