Flying Gripes

What has happened to the romance in travel? Scrums to find a seat on low cost airlines, never ending incidents of lost luggage and delays seem inevitable. But what really gets our goat? 

A few weeks ago we asked you 'What do you hate most about flying?'. Amazingly almost half of you said you just hate it when the person in front reclines their seat on an economy flight. Lots more of you complained about people kicking or banging the back of your seat. In fact the majority of complaints were about the way we behave on flights. We even complained about 'smelly feet' and 'nose picking'.

You can see all the results of the survey by clicking here but in essence, since we can't have what we really want - better designed seats and lots of space - then a good dose of good old fashioned manners is called for.
