Bad Breath & Body Odor Tops List of Annoying Travelers

A recent poll by travel search site Skyscanner, asked the question:  “Who do you hate sitting next to most on the plane?”

Over a thousand travelers took the poll, and I don’t think there were any big surprises.  Topping the list, with 19% in agreement, was bad breath and body odor.  No kidding!

  • Bad breath and body odor (19%)
  • Wailing baby (15%)
  • Hyperactive child (13%)
  • Big bodied people (12%)
  • Sneezers and sniffers (10%)
  • Rowdy parties (10%)
  • Arm rest hogs (8%)

For me, the most annoying is the person who invades my personal space.  Whether it’s leaning into my face (with their bad breath), hogging the arm rest, or crowding me personally by putting their body into my personal space, it makes me crazy.  We each get a small little bit of space in our seat, and I don’t want to share it with anyone.

How would you answer the question? Who do you hate sitting next to most on the plane?
