Multiple outlets report that travellers describe a range of everyday behaviours on airplanes that they find irritating. Complaints highlighted include passengers using phones to watch or share short videos, such as TikToks, during flights. Other irritation reportedly comes from how people eat and the choice of food, including concerns about strong smells or messy items like tuna sandwiches. Sources also describe broader categories of disruptive conduct that fellow passengers say affect comfort during travel.
The reports compile travellers’ responses about what happens at “30,000ft,” presenting a mix of issues linked to technology use and in-cabin etiquette. While the specific accounts differ, the overall theme across sources is that passengers’ individual habits—particularly those involving screens and personal routines—can create friction in shared spaces. The articles frame these points as common grievances rather than verified misconduct, reflecting travellers’ perspectives on what makes flights less tolerable for others. No single incident or person is identified in the provided material.
