\u201cInattentive Parents,\u201d the \u201cAromatic,\u201d the \u201cAudio Insensitive\u201d and the \u201cBoozer\u201d Round Out List of Top Five Most Offensive Air Travelers \u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Bellevue, Wash., Nov. 10, 2015 \u2013 Expedia.com\u00ae<\/a>, one of the world's largest full service online travel sites1, today released the results of the third annual Airplane Etiquette Study, which asked Americans to rank the most frustrating behaviors exhibited by the hundreds of millions of fellow Americans who fly each year. The study was commissioned by Expedia and conducted by GfK, an independent global market research company. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Expedia 2015 Airplane Etiquette study consisted of 1,019 interviews of randomly selected U.S. adult residents, conducted between August 7-9, 2015. An analysis of the study, as well as an infographic, can be found here: https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Seat-Kickers Are the Worst <\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans rank \u201cRear Seat Kickers\u201d as the most aggravating co-passengers. When asked to choose from a list of annoying behaviors, 61% of Americans cited seat-kicking as a top in-flight concern. \u201cInattentive Parents\u201d \u2013 parents who exhibit little or no control over their children \u2013 rank a close second (59%). The \u201cAromatic Passenger,\u201d who exhibits poor hygiene or is in some other way giving off a strong scent, was the third least-liked passenger, cited by 50% of Americans. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

The \u201cAudio Insensitive,\u201d who either talks loudly or whose music or entertainment is clearly audible to neighbors, annoys 50% of Americans. 45% of Americans scorn \u201cThe Boozer,\u201d and 43% complained about \u201cChatty Cathy,\u201d the overly talkative seatmate. The full list of etiquette violators, including \u201cThe Amorous,\u201d \u201cThe Undresser\u201d and the \u201cMad Bladder,\u201d is included down below. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cPlanes continue to fly full, never more so than during this season, when millions of Americans will fly to be with their families for the holidays,\u201d said John Morrey, vice president and general manager, Expedia.com. \u201cInside a packed plane at 30,000 feet, both good behavior and bad behavior are amplified. Respecting our fellow passengers is a small but important gift we can all give each other.\u201d \u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Quiet Zone <\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans show a marked preference for peace and quiet in midair. Three-quarters of Americans concede that \u201csmall talk is fine,\u201d but they prefer to keep to themselves for most of the flight. 16% admit that they use flights as an \u201copportunity to meet and talk to new people.\u201d 66% of Americans \u201cdread\u201d sitting next to them. 53% of American fliers find themselves annoyed by parents traveling with loud children, and a full third (37%) of Americans would actually pay extra to be seated in a designated \u201cquiet zone\u201d if the airline offered one. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

To Recline or Not <\/strong><\/p>\n

Reclining seats can be a flash point; nearly one third (32%) of Americans say they would either prefer to have reclining seats banned entirely, or at least restricted to set times during short-haul flights. Yet only 31% of Americans refuse to recline their own seats. Among the larger percentage of Americans who do lean back, 30% do so when they plan to sleep. 28% recline if the flight exceeds three hours, and 13% do so immediately after takeoff. 13% recline when the passenger in front of them does, domino-style. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

26% of Americans would recline their seat punitively if the passenger behind them was aggressive or rude. 12% would recline anyway if the passenger behind them was tall, and 10% would recline even if the passenger behind them was noticeably pregnant. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Social Shaming vs. Studied Silence <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the event a fellow passenger misbehaved noticeably, 49% of Americans would sit quietly and attempt to ignore them. 21% would confront the offender directly, while 10% would surreptitiously record them using their phone\u2019s camera or video. 3% of Americans would publish that misbehavior across social media channels. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Despite the surfeit of etiquette violations, 75% of Americans feel that \u201cfor the most part, fellow passengers are considerate\u201d and just over 50% feel that air travel is \u201cfun and exciting.\u201d 41% have helped a stranger with their luggage, for example. 73% wait patiently until they reach their assigned seat before stowing luggage in the overhead bin, versus 13% who stow their luggage in the first available spot once they board the plane. And only 10% of Americans drink more than two drinks during air travel, either at the airport or on the plane. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Oh, And \u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Just over 1% of Americans report membership in the Mile High Club, having been \u201cintimate\u201d on a plane, either with a traveler they knew, or a traveler they met on board. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

The full ranked list of onboard etiquette violators includes: <\/strong><\/p>\n
