Travel Trouble

Readers respond: What did someone do on a plane that made you say "You've gotta be kidding me"?

We've all encountered our fair share of difficult fellow passengers when travelling, but these people took it to the next level. 

We asked our readers what the worst thing a fellow plane passenger has done, and here's what they said. 

Carolyn Korlaki - It seems that every time I get on a flight the person in front of me puts their seat right back. Makes it very hard to read, eat, watch a movie, very annoying.....

Jan Ceeney - Person next to me in the window seat pulled the shade down for the whole trip. I couldn’t see anything. My first plane trip! Very disappointing.

Sue Robson - Recently flew with hubby to Asia. Me window seat, hubby middle and gentleman on end. The guy proceeded to to eat egg sandwiches he brought with him then spent the entire flight farting. It was horrendously bad.

Jennifer Pearce - Parents putting their children in seats behind there's then going to sleep and leaving their frightened child coughing and crying all night. Parents should split up and sit with their own children on 13 hour flights.

Joy Bollmeyer - A huge over weight man shirt undone then unzipped his trousers, adjusted himself then sat down with everything still undone!

Kathleen Black - Flight from Sydney to Doha a child kicked the back of my chair the whole way…..I couldn’t contain myself so I had something to say. And that was in business class!

Pip Minikin - Got her nail polish out and painted her nails.

Denis Davis - Passenger beside me talking on the phone while taking off.

Michael Baker - Gave me Covid. 

Jo Bolland - Sitting next to a Korean couple, he put his head on her lap and she popped his pimples. He hawked and spat and helped himself to anything he fancied from her tray.

Dot Turner - I usually had the same kicking of seats on flight, not from children, but from adults who are arrogant and should know better.
