The surprising results of a new poll show what Americans say is acceptable and unacceptable behavior on a flight.
Not reclining their seat. Not eating McDonald's or silently passing gas. Not taking their shoes off or watching a movie without headphones. According to a new poll, the worst thing people can do on a plane is ... let their children play in the aisle.Ahead of an anticipated surge in travel for the summer, a YouGov survey of 1,152 U.S. adults, revealed some telling preferences of in-flight etiquette.
Activities that are more widely accepted include using a laptop on the tray table, waking up a seatmate to use the bathroom, and pressing the flight-attendant call button for refreshments.Moreover, more than half of respondents find it acceptable to close the window during takeoff or landing. Additionally, 55% approve of reclining their seat, and 52% are okay with putting small items in the overhead compartment on a full flight.
