Air travel gets us where we need to go, but it can also make
for a long, long day. As the amenities start to dwindle and the leg room gets
smaller, it’s easy to get worn out and uncomfortable during a flight. In fact,
our survey revealed that the average amount of time before people get
uncomfortable on a flight is three hours.

So, what do travelers do to combat this discomfort? In order
to get more comfortable on a flight, many fliers will try adjusting their seat
or using a travel pillow while others may kick off their shoes and socks. But
is this socially acceptable? According to our survey, 64% said it’s OK to take
their shoes off, and 20% said it’s OK to take your socks off to get more
comfortable during a flight.
Lastly, we asked our survey to rank flying annoyances.
Coming in at No. 1 with 54% of the vote was getting your seat kicked. A crying
child followed seat kicking with 27% of the vote and body odor came in third
with 26% of the vote. Other flying annoyances were a talkative passenger,
inattentive parents, a drunk passenger, a seat pulled back or leaned on,
snoring, rushing to get off the plane as soon as it gets to the gate, a
reclining seat, a passenger putting their feet up, smelly food, man-spreading,
a passenger removing their socks or shoes, bright screens on phones,
non-service dogs, and finally in last place was dressing sloppy, which bothered
just 1% of our survey.
