As reported in this week’s eFlyer USA newsletter, Expedia revealed the results of its 2013 Airplane Etiquette Study, a survey of 1,001 Americans conducted by Northstar on a range of in-flight behaviors. The study found inattentive parents who let their loud children run in the aisles to be the “most annoying/offensive airplane etiquette violators,” followed by seatback kickers, stinky passengers and drunks.

The full list follows:

1. Inattentive Parents
2. Rear Seat Kicker
3. The Aromatic Passenger
4. The Boozer
5. Chatty Cathy
6. Audio Insensitive
7. Seat-back Guy
8. Carry-on Baggage Offenders
9. The Back-Seat Grabber

10. The Queue Jumper

11. The Armrest Hog

12. Mad Bladder (a window-seat passenger who frequently visits the bathroom)

13. Pungent Food Eaters

14. The Mad Dasher (a passenger who gets out of his seat and leans on the seat in front of him waiting for the door to open the second the plane reaches the gate)

15. The Amorous

16. Overhead Bin Inconsiderate

17. The Undresser

18. The Pre-Boarder (a passenger who boards before his assigned zone/row is announced)

19. The Seat Switcher

Approximately half (49 percent) of American flyers in the Expedia survey said they would pay extra to travel in a designated quiet zone if airlines chose to offer one. Three airlines in the Asia Pacific region — Scoot, AirAsia X and Malaysia Airlines — noted passengers’ displeasure with unruly children while traveling and created child-free cabins.

Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, offers a “ScootinSilence” zone at the front of its economy cabin, where “under 12s will be someplace else,” and each seat offers four additional inches of legroom than the standard economy seat, according to Scoot’s website. The long-haul, budget airline AirAsia X based in Malaysia launched the “Quiet Zone” earlier this year, providing child-free seating in the first seven rows of economy class. The area bans passengers under 12 and features softer lighting. Malaysia Airlines also offers child-free first-class cabins and a child-free area in the upper-deck economy section of its Airbus A380 aircraft.

What type of in-flight behaviors do you consider to be the most annoying? Are you guilty of committing one or more of these violations?
