Bad airplane behaviours that annoys travellers most
<p>What's more annoying when you're on a plane: someone kicking your seat, a screaming child or bad smells? From in-flight yoga to armrest hoggers, there are a lot of things that can frustrate us on flights.</p>
<p>However, the number one pet peeve among flyers has been revealed: rear-seat kicking.</p>
<p>For the third year in a row, persistent seat kickers have been blasted in an annual survey by travel company Expedia.</p>
<p>Sixty-four per cent of travellers say that kicking is the biggest annoyance while inconsiderate parents who let their children run wild came in second with 59 per cent. </p>
<p>The survey of 1000 US passengers also found that sitting next to smelly people – be it body odour or strong perfume – also ranked high in the list of irritations.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, 35 per cent of people grumbled about passengers who recline their seats fully, with 37 per cent of travellers saying they would ban reclining seats if they had the choice.</p>
<p>"The Airplane Etiquette study shows that small acts of decorum can go a long way," John Morrey, vice president and general manager for Expedia.com said.</p>
<p>"After all, as it relates to flights, we are quite literally all in this together."</p>
