Noisy Kids More Annoying On Flights Than Drunks Or No Leg Room Says Poll

Poll Reveals The Most Annoying Things About Flying

Noisy children are the worst part of flying, according to a poll of plane passengers.

Unruly youngsters topped the list of pet hates by airline customers in a survey by travel agent sunshine.co.uk.

The next most annoying aspect of a flight was lack of leg room followed by poor-quality food or a lack of choice in food.

Passengers also moaned about not being seated with co-travellers, passengers kicking the backs of seats, loud fellow passengers and drunken travellers.

Other beefs included the size of toilets, rude cabin crew and a lack of in-flight entertainment.

A total of 1,684 UK adults were surveyed, all of whom had flown abroad on holiday in the last 12 months.

Sunshine.co.uk co-founder Chris Clarkson said: "As a father with young children, I know it can be tough as a parent to keep little ones entertained during a flight.

"I think passengers need to be considerate of those travelling on the same flight as them, so a thing like not letting your kids run up and down the aisle is an obvious one. However, there are unfortunately other things that do a great job of irritating passengers and lack of leg room is one I think we've all experienced."
