These opinions on airline etiquette are really taking off.
As stories of passenger meltdowns and in-flight brawls continue to mount, a recent study by research and analytics group YouGov revealed which behaviors American travelers agree are acceptable — and which aren’t.
There are a few things travelers agree are true flatly mistake.
A large majority of Americans – more than 80% – agree that it is unacceptable to leave the country during the turbulence and watch a movie or show without headphones.
If you have children, keep them in the seat. So don’t let them run up and down the aisle to play during the flight—unless you want most of your fellow passengers’ good humor to be snuffed out.
And although some passengers like to get drunk while cruising, they don’t get drunk during the trip – this leads to some bad behavior and harmful consequences and is generally understood to be unacceptable.
While these bad behaviors seem to be condemned by most, others are a little more controversial.
Around half of people say it’s okay to ask someone to switch seats with them – but a quarter of travelers would be annoyed if you did.
Meanwhile, about half of passengers believe it’s not okay to bring a cat or dog on a flight or get up immediately when the plane lands.
However, more seasoned travelers have a few different opinions than those who aren’t running on airline miles.
People who say they fly commercially at least once a year are more likely than people who never fly to say it’s unacceptable to make a phone call while in the air (56% vs. 30%) and to put small items in upper division. on a full flight (43% vs. 19%).
Frequent fliers are more likely than people who never fly to say it is acceptable not to pay attention during the safety demonstration (32% vs. 16%).
But what IS is it allowed?
Most travelers agreed it’s okay to use a laptop at the desk (81%), wake a seatmate to use the bathroom (72%) and press the flight attendant’s call button to request refreshments (67%) ).
