Oblivious parents and body odour

Waiting to board a flight can be nerve-wracking and it has nothing to do with the prospect of over-cooked chicken and scratchy blankets. The boarding gate is the perfect place to scan for passengers in the danger zone, you know the ones that hog the arm rest or fully recline their seat.

Well the good people at TripAdvisor have carried out a survey of the most annoying passenger habits and the winners are:

Letting your children run wild

Reclining your seat during food service

Offensive body odour

Talking non-stop

Being rude to airline staff

But before you start causing chaos on your next flight; be aware that 68 per cent of passengers will confront you if you do something rude.
