Top 18 List Of The Most-Annoying Airline Passengers: 2014

Airline

As it turns out, rear seat kicker top the list of the most-annoying airline passengers, followed by the “inattentive parents,” according to the 2nd annual Airplane Etiquette survey.

So What are the most annoying in-flight behaviors that drive most fliers nuts?

Topping the list – Rear Seat Kicker!

67% of those surveyed found them to be the absolute worst when it comes to consideration for their fellow passengers.

The Aromatic passenger ranks No. 3 on the list of worst etiquette offenders.

Interestingly, rear seat-kickers pushed last year’s top most-annoying airline passengers, the inattentive parents, into 2nd place, followed by the aromatic passenger, the audio-insensitive passenger, the boozer and the chatty Cathy.

Bellevue-based Expedia’s 2014 Airplane Etiquette Study, conducted by global research market GfK, asked 1,000 adult Americans to rank the most annoying on-board behaviors of fellow passengers.

“Expedia’s Airplane Etiquette Study is a lighthearted reminder that few places require more attention to etiquette than the inside of an airplane,” said John Morrey, Expedia’s vice president and general manager, in a statement.

“You’re in a tight space at 30,000 feet with hundreds of fellow travelers, so even the small things — helping your neighbor stow a bag or switching seats to put a mom next to her child — can make a huge difference.”
