Frequent flyers are not unfamiliar to the sight of passengers arguing on a plane. In fact, one has come to expect a certain amount of discomfort when it comes to air travel.
According to the latest statistics from a travel platform that surveyed travelers from ten countries, the top three complaints of air travelers are:
Number one, rude passengers, especially those that take off their shoes and steal the armrest. Number two are delayed flights, and number three are noisy passengers.
Travelers from Taiwan, however, have rude and noisy passengers tied as their number one complaint. Flight delays come second, and crying babies are third.
Some Taiwanese travelers find it more manageable to cope with a delay rather than having to contend with noisy babies. They argue that during a delay, they can engage in other activities to pass the time.Whereas if there was a baby crying, they often find themselves with no viable alternative.
Trying to soothe a crying baby is no picnic for parents either. Parents themselves have come up with ways to distract babies when traveling. Parents say that they prepare toys and books to keep their children occupied while in the air.
People always say to expect the unexpected, especially when traveling. As such, bringing earplugs is highly recommended.
