Travellers rank the top 15 worst faux pas on plane trips, from reclining your seat (at ANY point) to draping hair over it. What’s YOUR biggest flight bugbear?

The biggest bugbears people have when traveling by air have been revealed, with passengers drinking too much topping the list.

It emerged from a survey of 2,000 British travellers, where drinking too much booze on flights was voted the biggest mistake by 48 per cent of respondents.

In second place is avoiding queues (43 percent), followed by tilting your seat back while food and drinks are being served (third, 43 percent) and tilting your seat back at any point during the flight (fourth, 40 percent).

The rest of the top 10 in the list, compiled from a OnePoll survey commissioned by Skyscanner, consists of using gadgets without headphones (fifth, 35 percent); getting up as soon as the plane lands (sixth, 33 percent); leaving bags on the seat so you feel comfortable when you try to sit down (seventh, 31 percent); hoggers with double armrests (eighth, 31 percent); draping hair over the back of the chair (ninth, 28 percent); and taking multiple seats in the departure lounge (10th, 28 percent).

Not separating liquids before security checks, causing a robbery (11th, 27 percent) and taking off shoes or socks on the plane (13th, 22 percent) were also classified as prohibited.

Others are fed up with those who queue at the gate long before boarding, clap as the plane lands or stand right next to where luggage goes on the carousel.

When it comes to proper flying behavior, 74 percent of respondents think you should ask the person behind you if he/she minds if you move your seat back before pressing the button.

And 81 percent would support a rule banning passengers from reclining their seats while food and drinks are being served.

More than two-thirds (69 percent), meanwhile, would like the plane to deplane row by row, starting closest to the doors, to prevent people from rushing to the exits.

As part of the survey, participants were asked if they had engaged in disruptive behavior themselves, and 12 percent admitted that this was the case.

A quarter of them have taken off their shoes and socks on the plane, while 19 percent have held items at security after forgetting to take off certain items.

And 17 percent get up as soon as the plane lands in an attempt to get off as quickly as possible.

Gen Z considers itself most likely to be guilty of unwanted airplane behavior (22 percent), followed by Millennials (18 percent), Generation X (12 percent) and Boomers (seven percent).

As part of the research, carried out to mark the launch of Skyscanner’s new Travel hacks hubTravel trend expert Laura Lindsay offered tips to avoid some of the most common airplane mistakes.

Don’t want to hold up your fellow travelers at the security checkpoint? Then collect large toiletries at the airport.

Laura says: ‘Collecting your toiletries after security will save you space and weight in your checked bag. Even better, you can save time by using airport pharmacies such as Boots, which offer a “click & collect” service. This is available at selected airports in the UK, including shops after security, meaning you don’t have to pay airport prices. It also allows you to plan ahead so you no longer have to run around the store looking for your favorite shampoo. This is also useful for heavy non-liquid items, such as baby food, as this will not count towards your baggage allowance.’

Are you standing in line because you don’t have your passport or boarding pass at hand?

Laura says: ‘Some countries have programs to make getting through border control a breeze. Some examples are Global Entry (US) and DigiYatra (India). These usually include pre-approval and permission to enter so you can spend less time at the counter. There are also usually faster lines for passengers who have signed up for these programs.”
