The three worst passengers on every flight

Airplane passengers seem to be leaving common sense and decency at the terminal more often than not these days, and flight attendants are starting to have enough.

In a series of interviews anonymous flight attendants have revealed the three types of passenger categories that cause them the most mid-air grief while flying.

Make sure you don’t fall into one of these categories:

1. Unruly families

An anonymous flight attendant wrote for The Independent, “There are several breeds of summer traveller who truly vex the mind and break your soul, and the holidaying family is one of them.”

2. Church groups

Another flight attendant told The Independent that travelling church groups can be a problem, especially those that tried to form prayer circles at inappropriate times.

3. Drunken passengers

Drinking on flights is also a problem, with one flight attendant writing on Reddit telling of a woman who had boarded her flight to Las Vegas after drinking at the airport.

"On the flight she spilt her water on her sandwich she bought and demanded we compensate her with five vodkas and 10 blankets for the mess,” she wrote.

“Mind you she is the one who spilt the drink on herself, not one of us."

What do you think? Are people behaving worse on planes these days?
