The Margin: This is what Americans hate most about flying and its not reclining seats, or even disruptive passengers

So, youve dealt with long lines and the flight delays or even cancellations and youre finally seated on the plane. What difficulties now await?

A new survey from the Vacationer website finds that Americans are most bothered by passengers who kick the seat in front of them or who display drunken or disruptive behavior. The Airplane Etiquette Violations Survey was based on a poll of 1,098 Americans over the age of 18, who were asked to pick from a list of actions that they found irritating, according to the Vacationer. Respondents could select as many actions as they wanted.

The seat kickers and drunk and disorderly passengers topped the list of offenders, with both being cited by 59.11% of respondents. Other top peeves included passengers who smell because of poor hygiene or who use too much cologne or perfume (cited by 48% of respondents), passengers who dont pay attention to their children (46.81%), passengers who eat pungent or foul-smelling foods (39.8%) and passengers who hog the armrests (39.07%).
