Flying frustrations

 

A survey was carried out to unearth what, as a nation, Australia hated the most about flying.

The results are as follows;

1 Flight delays
2 People putting their seats back during short flights
3 Being trapped in your seat by a sleeping passenger
4 Overweight passengers who encroach on your own seat
5 Poor hygiene of fellow passengers
6 Being stuck next to a chatterbox
7 Dirty toilets
8 Rude flight attendants

It was interesting to see that the standard of airline food did not even make the list so either people have got used to it or there has been a significant improvement. Coming in at number one was delayed flights; with people also mentioning that the lack of information about amended flight schedules added to their frustrations. At number two with 47.9% of the votes is something that many will sympathise with, people reclining their seats during short flights, this greatly imposes upon an already limited space that many believe is unnecessary for an hour long flight.
