Seat neighbor, how much I hate you. Volotea's latest research reveals the factors that create the most annoyance during a flight

I have to tell the truth: I am a very patient person. My tolerance threshold is quite high and I hardly lose my temper. There is only one thing that makes my blood run to my brain: rudeness. A few weeks ago, returning from a weekend in Seville, on the plane I caught the classic obnoxious neighbor: the one who thinks he is at home and who, as if he were alone on a private jet, spreads himself as wide as he can, occupying both armrests (including, evidently, what we were supposed to 'share').
In this article:
Children crying and screaming throughout the flight? I can't blame them (at most, the parents); I just deal with it and wear my headphones with active noise cancellation. Groups of rowdy (and harassing) passengers traveling to the bachelor party? I take a deep breath, count to 10 and ditto as above. The moment, however, you invade my living space, well then I am forced to be obnoxious.
Unwittingly, the day after this less-than-pleasant experience, I read an interesting research conducted by the low-cost Volotea in collaboration with Analytics Arts: what emerges is that Italians' worst nightmare (47% of respondents, mostly men) during an airplane trip Is really the rude neighbor.
According to the sample polled for the survey-passengers of both sexes and aged between 25 and 70 years-another element that creates no small amount of annoyance when flying is the turbulence (for 27 of the respondents). For 13%, on the other hand, it is quite annoying the cabin temperature too high or low; finally, for 12%, they are a source of annoyance the whims of young travelers.
