Once you have secured cheap airplane tickets or cheap vacation packages you can only hope that you do not end up being seated next to one of an airline’s worse passengers.

According to passenger surveys conducted by Frommer’s the two most annoying airline passenger types are travelers who are unable to fit in their seats and screaming babies.

Oversized passengers not only take up adjacent passengers’ space on a plane, they also pose a safety risk. Potentially they could block an exit for others if they are unable to fit through escape hatches over the wings. Some might even have problems moving down the aisle and fitting between the seats to reach the exits.

Some people argue that obese passengers have a disability. Unfortunately when it comes to evacuating a plane during an emergency oversized passengers could pose an additional danger.

Although regulators want everyone to safely fit into their seats, enforcement is left almost entirely to the airlines.

Screaming babies are another major source of fellow passenger consternation. Some passengers believe that children who will not quiet ...
... down should be sedated with Benadryl, threatened, or their parents should be threatened, moved to a special “kids only” section in the back of the plane, or even banned entirely from a flight.

Toddlers and young children are not allowed to sit in emergency exit rows because they can present a safety hazard in the event of an emergency.

Another common passenger complaint about babies is that they create a hygiene issue with their diapers, sticky fingers, and drool. Messy babies can turn the interior of a plane into a bacteria factory.
