Children Aren’t the Most Annoying Passengers on a Plane

Is there a more repetitive gripe than that of travelers lamenting the presence of kids on airplanes? I can’t think of one. Let’s be clear: children are not the most annoying passengers on flights—not by a long shot.

I’m often puzzled by the individual who seems to believe that their airplane ticket grants them a temporary escape to tranquility. Seriously, who do you think you are? You didn’t book a trip to “Adult Paradise in the Sky.” Remember, you’re on public transportation, and let’s be honest—public transport can be a bit of a hassle. But it’s not just the little ones that contribute to the chaos.

Having traveled extensively before and after having kids, I can say that flying with little ones isn’t the issue—it’s the reactions of those around us that add to the stress. Even the slightest noise from a child can elicit passive-aggressive sighs, eye-rolls, and even outright complaints. It’s as if some passengers believe they have a right to vocally express their disdain for children on board, which is, frankly, infuriating.

Recently, an article in the NY Post titled “The 8 Most Annoying Types of Kids on a Flight” caught my eye. In response, I propose my own list: “The 8 Most Irritating Types of Adults on a Flight.” You can find at least one of these characters on any flight, yet no one seems to debate their right to share the cabin.

1. Mr. Oblivious – “I’m reclining my seat into your lap, and yes, I can feel your breath on my neck, but I’m ignoring it.”
2. Mrs. Bad Dietary Choices – “I know egg salad smells awful, but this is my only craving today.”
3. Drunk Young Professionals – “We’ll be ordering Jack and Cokes (which we’ll affectionately call ‘JC’s’) and high-fiving across the aisle while shouting ‘Broheim.’”
4. Manspreader – “I need the window seat, both armrests, and my leg will be pressed against yours for the entire flight.”
5. Crazy Volume Dude – “I have to crank my headphones up to this level. What did you say?”
6. Chatty Flier – “I’m a nervous flyer, so you’ll have to keep the conversation going for three hours. Oh, and nerves make me gassy.”
7. Mr. Annoyed by Kids – “I’ll be complaining about that baby the entire flight, which is far more annoying than the baby itself.”
8. Epic Complainer – “I’m upset that the flight attendant served the back row first. It’s too cold in here, and I want to discuss how airlines are getting greedier.”

In conclusion, it’s clear that children are not the biggest nuisances on planes. If you’re interested in further insights on parenting or navigating flight with kids, check out this blog post.
