10 really annoying passengers on board

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

The suitcases are packed, the expectation is rising: These days, thousands, thousands of Swiss will go on vacation. If you’re traveling by plane to your dream destination and not by car or train, you’ll be dealing with lots of strangers in a very small space. Of course, there is also a lot of conflict potential. Here are our top ten most annoying airline passengers:

If you can’t or don’t want to spend a fortune on expensive business or first class flights, you have to fly eco popularly known as wood class for some reason. Legroom is very limited – after all, every centimeter saved on the plane brings cash into the airlines coffers. If you also have a middle seat and two broad-shouldered guests are sitting next to you, you should be prepared for cramped hours on the plane.

Even sitting in your seat on the plane can feel like an eternity. After the luggage has been delivered (usually for a high fee) and the traffic jam has passed through the security check, you have to wait at the gate for the often late planes. When it finally kicks off, some passengers seem to shiver on the poolside lounger – obviously not taking long enough for them to pack their hand luggage. Even the mega row behind them in the corridor does not bother them.

Some guests bring what appears to be half their household items on board to save themselves from high fees for checked baggage. In addition to suitcases and backpacks, jackets, sacks and all kinds of trinkets are also included. This not only slows boarding (see point 9), but also leaves no chance for subsequent passengers to place even a small piece of carry-on luggage on the limited upper shelves.

Anyone who thinks the worst is over once they sit in their seat has calculated before the backrest rattles. Some seem so exhausted by the rigors of boarding that even if the flight takes less than two hours and takes place in broad daylight, they pull back the backrest immediately after takeoff, regardless of losses (eg spilled drinks). If the person behind you (or the person behind you) is constantly pushing the backrest, it’s guaranteed that time won’t fly by.

The list of unpleasant (flight) contemporaries could be extended almost to infinity. The naysayers traveling alone, wanting to know every detail of the upcoming trip, and keeping you from reading or listening to music at all costs, are the least evil. Even more exhausting can be talk show-explosive discussions among those sitting next to you, which can last for several hours. In contrast, the half-deaf neighbor’s powerful techno hits have an almost calming effect – but only if you have headphones with you.

Yes, children can be so wonderful and suddenly bring a smile to our faces. But they can be a real nuisance on the plane – and not just for your own parents. No matter how much that thing spits out, does a three-month-old really have to explore the sandy beaches of Egypt? And a little soothing liqueur won’t hurt when the next ball of cheer pours not-so-delicious tomato juice into our laps – but it’s now more expensive than a full bottle of the same drink on most airlines. in the duty-free shop.

For some passengers, the Ballermann holiday begins at the airport. Before boarding the plane, some seem to have donned their beer helmets and lowered the two-metre straw into the sangria bucket. No matter how great the fun in the shouting ensemble, the party mood and mega flag spoil the mood of the other guests on board. If there are complaints and there is a lot of bullying, the fun definitely stops.

But not only passengers who look too far into the glass go unnoticed by unpleasant vapors. Of course, personal hygiene is a private matter – as long as the smell of sweat can not be heard from the four rows of seats. Some airlines are now fussy if body odor is too strong and they refuse to board a plane. It’s also reluctantly seen over and over again: passengers who take off their shoes as soon as they board the plane. I hope at least then new socks were worn. . .

It is not only the other passengers who occasionally make negative observations on the plane, but also the cabin crew. At this point we’d like to put things into perspective: working on a ship can be extremely tiring (as this article demonstrates), working days can be long, and the recognition of hard work is forgotten here and there. However, while eco-guests sometimes don’t smile when boarding, business or first class passengers should not be treated like royalty. At least when it comes to treating passengers, there shouldn’t be a two-class society on board, no matter how much you pay for the seat.

As soon as the plane lands and the desired destination is reached, a unique natural scene begins on the plane: passengers jump wildly, almost in panic pull their hand luggage from the shelves and hold other guests away with their hands and hands. foot, whatever is lost. Just to endure for minutes in a partially acrobatic pose before the doors finally open to get out. The fact that front-row passengers are not even allowed into the aisle is, unfortunately, almost obvious among passengers today – although most vacationers have to wait for their suitcases in the luggage belts after disembarking.
