50 Arrogant Airplane Passengers Who Tested Everyone’s Tolerance Limits
People are flying again. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that the industry continues to recover. Total traffic in 2023 rose 36.9% compared to 2022, which equates to 94.1% of pre-pandemic (2019) levels.
However, our behavior hasn't really improved. On the contrary, unruly passenger incidents have also been rising, so we at Bored Panda decided to put together a collection of pictures showing some of the most egotistical travelers. Hopefully, they will serve as a reminder to remain considerate and respect others.

Pre-pandemic, figures recorded by the IATA indicated unruly airplane passengers were on the rise. Discussions about the issue were ramping up, and in 2019, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) even launched and initiative called #notonmyflight, aiming to increase awareness.
During the peak Covid years, fewer flights didn’t equal fewer problems – at least not in the US, where reported incidents rose.

Most of these responses are still somewhat civil. I'd be screaming at the barefoot boor to get their effing smelly feet off of my armrest. If they didn't comply, I'd ask the flight attendant for some VERY hot coffee.
The number of reported incidents in the US have since fallen, but remain notably higher than pre-pandemic levels.
Plus, IATA and FAA data can only tell us so much (not every airline that's part of IATA submits data, while not every airline records every instance of unruly behavior).
Thus, the conversation around disruptive passengers, including the ones we see in these pictures remains heated.

IATA classifies unruly behavior incidents into four levels:
- Level 1 is “minor” (IATA’s 'Cabin Operations Safety Best Practice Manual' suggests this could be argumentative behavior or non-compliance with safety regulations);
- Level 2 is “moderate” (physically aggressive behavior, for example);
- Level 3 is “serious” (i.e. dangerous behavior, an “intent or threat to injure,” as IATA puts it);
- and Level 4 is “flight deck breach” (which IATA classifies as “credible threat of death).

The most common categorizations of incidents in 2022 were non-compliance, verbal abuse and intoxication. Physical abuse incidents remain very rare, but these had an alarming increase of 61% over 2021, occurring once every 17,200 flights.

Although non-compliance incidents initially fell after the mask mandates were lifted, the frequency began to rise again throughout 2022 and ended the year some 37% up on 2021. The most common examples of non-compliance were:
- Smoking of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes and puff devices in the cabin or lavatories;
- Failure to fasten seatbelts when instructed;
- Exceeding the carry-on baggage allowance or failing to store baggage when required;
- Consumption of own alcohol on board.

This us why U wear a sport or bralet when I fly. Some comfortable yoga pants and socks. I want to be comfortable while crammed in like a sardine.

I can totally understand wanting to take your bra off on a long haul flight. However, why would you just leave it there??

Fully Reclined Plane Seat And A Possible Theft

Probably not, they were probably just reclined and trying to sleep. Hand is in a weird position. It's pretty obnoxious though.

This Person Reading On Their iPad With The Brightness All The Way Up On A 6-Hour Red-Eye Flight
Narwhal Blast 1 year ago
That much screen brightness for such a long time is bad for your eyes...
Heffalump 1 year ago
I don't see that as unreasonable. They're not making a noise, or a smell, or invading your space. If you're that sensitive to bright objects with your eyes closed, then you should accept you need to pack eyeshades in your carry-on. While people need to avoid behaving intrusively, they can't hide the fact of their existence. You need to do your part by doing what you need to to tune them out.
Ken Beattie 1 year ago
Did you miss the red eye part? That means they're doing it while other people are trying to sleep and the rest of the plane is dimmed. You can easily dim the screen brightness (a lot) and it's still perfectly readable. Hell my tablet automatically dims at 10pm to about 50% brightness.

This Couple On My Flight The Other Day

It's not COVID they're afraid of, it's clearly the other passengers.

I'm really sick of people judging this type of thing. You don't know who's undergoing chemo now or in the past, you don't know who's going to visit someone who's very ill and vulnerable. It doesn't affect you. Get on with your life and concern yourself with your own business, they're not bothering you.
Ken Beattie 1 year ago
Absolutely. As long as they're not interfering with anyone else I don't care what they're wearing or doing. It also means if they are infected with something there's less chance they'll pass it to me so I see that as a win too.

They don't seem to be making a mess or bothering anyone, so I don't see what the problem is.

Shoes on? Check. Earphones? Check. They seem like great seat row companions.

Myself and a lot of others had to travel this way when we were traveling in the middle of the pandemic. We were quite a sight at the airport but there were more people wearing them as well. It was really sweaty in the PPE but there was no option. If we were to get tested positive upon landing we were to spend a month isolated at a hospital and pay for it all by ourselves, which was super expensive if you didnât have insurance. We had insurance but we werenât sure of its validity at the time because it was during the pandemic. Some of my friends (on a separate flight, who also traveled like this) actually tested positive and had to suffer through the said repercussions but luckily their insurance was able to reimburse them.

Woman Saving An Entire Row Of Plane Seats Behind Her With Donut Bags

Free Donuts. Aren't seats assigned on the boarding pass anymore? Sorry for asking, I either pick the seats while booking or during online-check-in.

Either This Or Jumping Out Of His Seat The Whole Flight
Norwegian_PandađłđŽ 1 year ago
When I was travelling with my kid when she was small we always bought the first row âextra space for child-seatâ. More expensive yes but I like to think about other people around. Especially on a plane where you canât just leave..That prevent situations like this.

My two younger siblings and I used to fly as unaccompanied minors every year to visit our father. Even with our mom not presents we never behaved like this.

The Plane Hasn't Even Taken Off Yet
Tempest 1 year ago
Iâve seen short people who are unable to reach the overhead bins doing this so frequently like itâs the only solution. Itâs obviously not okay. You can always ask a flight attendant to help you store your baggage. Sometimes other passengers will also help. Just ask without damaging public property.
Jo Firth 1 year ago
I'm short and know from experience that flight attendants will not help due to OHS. The question is, should I stand on the seat in dirty shoes or barefoot?

My Girlfriend Just Sent Me This From Her Flight To Chicago

This is harmless. They just want less light so they can sleep. Unless it was under the pandemic when you had to wear a mask (over mouth and nice-not eyesđ) I see no problem. Edit that I wrote âheâ instead of âtheyâ.
Tempest 1 year ago
Iâve done this so many times, yes even on a flight. I canât for the life of me sleep with any light. If was feeling sleepy between classes at university where I couldnât leave, I would rest like this on a table. This was of course after mask mandates were lifted. Used to carry a sleeping mask to the library for those planned nap sessions.
Ken Beattie 1 year ago
I remember the first couple flights I did the airline provided a (free) travel bag about the size of a toiletry bag with a travel toothbrush, toothpaste, a little bar of soap, some wetwipes, tissues and a sleep mask. I was kinda sad they stopped doing that :(

Ok. So. The underpants drying one is AT LEAST 10 years old. Not only have we been seeing thisbpic since the dawn of FB, those are aarie circa 2008 underpants. I remember because I bought the same pair and multiple colors and they were super uncomfortable. You can also see them featured in the first episode of "The Glades". Yeah. They were that bad.

Compared to how people behaved in the 50s and the 60s we, as a species, are devolving. I mean, some folks cannot even be bothered to get out of their pajamas to go shopping anymore...
