We got in touch with an experienced flight attendant to learn more

Bored Pandagot in touch with cabin crew veteran and bloggerJay Robertand he was kind enough to share his experiences. Most people have at least one story of a nightmare passenger, so we wanted to hear his explanation for why air travel leads some folks to behave so poorly.

“Also, particularly in America, the TSA can be aggressive, disorganized, andrudein many airports. This entire process is unpleasant and leaves passengers frazzled and anxious before they even get to the gate. As a world traveler and former cabin crew member for the world’s largest international airline, I have operated flights to every inhabited continent and have never seen the treatment of passengers as I have in the US security lines. Even as an experienced traveler, I get stressed and my blood boils when I think about going through TSA. My experiences have been so bad that I got TSA Precheck to minimize my exposure to what I compare to cattle herding the few times I fly back to the US.”

Some passengers end up making everyone’s life miserable

Given Jay’s ample experience, we wanted to hear, in his opinion, what sort of travelers are truly themost annoying. “Every airline employee has countless examples of annoying travelers, and the underlying factor in most of these cases is entitled behavior. Passengers need to understand what they agreed to when buying their tickets, stop demanding rights they don’t have, and listen to the information being given to them,” he shared with Bored Panda.

There are a few things folks can do to make flying easier

We asked him to share some tips he thought travelers could find useful. “Don’t book 30-minute connections! Just because you are offered a tight connection doesn’t mean you should buy it. I try to always give myself at least one hour for domestic connections and 2 to 3 for international. Also, try to purchase your ticket directly from the airline. Going through a third party is fine until something goes wrong, and then the airline will tell you to contact the ticket provider for assistance, which is never fun.”

“Another great source of information for airline travelers is the contract or terms of carriage that every airline must provide on their websites. If you read it, you’ll know what your rights are. I have caught some airlines trying to sidestep their end of the agreement, but when I direct the staff’s attention to the contract, things magically start getting resolved.”
