Frequent flyer discusses the biggest sins of travelling
A frequent traveller has shared what she believes are the biggest sins of travelling.
Posting a series of videos on TikTok, frequent flyer and travel influencer Tinx bluntly exposed the “worst things” people can do in airports and on planes.
The 32-year-old regularly flies between London and New York to visit family, and understands that having to deal with the annoying behaviours of fellow passengers is not an easy task.
Now Tinx, whose real name is Christina Najjar, has voiced her frustrations with her followers, revealing the “worst” behaviours that make for “awful travellers”, while urging anyone who is guilty of such sins to “take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror before you travel again.”
While there are many things travellers can do that annoy their fellow holiday-goers, Tinx said being “unprepared” is the worst travel sin of all.
“Let's begin with people that are unprepared at the front of the security line. It's a security line, you know what's coming, and yet there are still people who are fumbling around with their laptop like a child who forgot their homework.”
"'Do I have to take off my jacket?’ Yes, spoiler alert, you always have to take off your jacket. Please keep the theatrical water chugging to the Uber,” she joked.
Next up, Tinx trashed the “gate crowders” for their lack of awareness.
“Next, let's discuss the gate crowders, they haven't even put up our flight on the little digital board and you're crowding around the gate like it's the stampede from The Lion King, grinding your foot into the ground like you're about to run with the bulls,” she said.
“Aside from the fact that you're in group five, I got to tell you buddy, we're all going to the same place, we're all getting on the same plane.”
Lastly, the influencer explained her anger at the other passengers who are “a**holes” when it comes to the overhead bins.
“It always baffles me with the bins because it's very simple, just don't be an a**hole.”
“Put your overstuffed away suitcase and your ugly little personal item in the seat in front of you,” she said.
Many of Tinx’s viewers agreed with her travel qualms, with the comments being flooded with additional faux pas that get under the skin of frequent flyers.
One user said, “How about those who as soon as the plane is stopped and the seatbelt sign is off they rush to the front of the plane.”
Another commented, “What about the people that go back and forth in the aisle trying to choose a seat that suits their preference while other people are boarding?”
