Flight delays can be annoying, but that’s just one of the many things that can turn a lovely flight into a nightmare experience.

A new survey of air travelers reveals the top things that irritate them the most and a lot of them are totally relatable.

  • So, what annoys passengers more than anything else? Kids are to blame for the number one thing on the list - kicking the back of the seat, which 36% say is the worst offense.
  • Children are also the culprits in the second most annoying thing when flying - when kids are crying or disruptive.
  • Seat reclining comes in third, followed by drunk passengers and using a device without using headphones.
  • But 15% of respondents admit they’re guilty of doing some of the most irritating things themselves, especially trying to dominate the armrest (54%).
