If you think plane journeys are bad, spare a thought for the poor cabin crew who have to deal with badly behaved passengers on a daily basis.
Flight attendants have been lifting the lid on their customers’ most annoying habits – and the list is endless.
Oversized cabin luggage, travelers ignoring the safety demos and horny passengers are all issues that staff confront regularly, according to an online forum on Reddit.
So if you want to stay on the good side of the crew on your next flight, try avoiding these pet hates…

Keep your children under control
Del said: “Keep in mind your kids have to follow the same laws the rest of us do, and ignoring that is only putting your kid at risk. Make sure they buckle up. If they don’t like it, too bad.
“And don’t ever left your kids run up and down the aisle, it’s dangerous for them, it’s rude to us, and it bothers everyone else.”
