The Top Ten Worst Habits of Airplane Passengers

When we fly, we are often afraid to see who we are sitting next to. Are you attentive to your fellow passengers or do you recline when the person behind you tries to enjoy his or her meal? London City Airport surveyed passengers to find out what the ten worst airline passenger habits are.

Here's the full top ten:
1. Move their seat back so far that they practically sit on your lap
2. Place the elbows so firmly on the armrests that there is no room for you
3. Rude to cabin crew - a thank you is free
4. Carrying hand luggage that is clearly too big that another poor person has to put theirs in the hold
5. Speak loudly to their travel companions so you can't hear yourself think
6. Forgetting their manners when getting off the plane, they don't care as long as they are first in the passport line
7. Constantly getting up to get items from the luggage lockers
8. Put their feet in the gaps between the seats so that they poke you in the shoulder
9. Curse without worrying about who hears it
10. Sitting extensively in front of the window so that they block the view
