Whether you fly a little or a lot you’ve likely come across passengers who need a lesson or two in plane etiquette.

In fact, the team at Lonely Planet has shared some of the biggest faux pas travellers regularly make when in the air, or at the airport.

And there is one ‘nasty’ habit that one expert said is particularly irritating.

“I get irritated when people leave the door open after using the plane bathroom,” Lonely Planet Editor Ann-Douglas Lott shared.

“The poor souls who must sit next to that nasty mess.”

The ‘passive-aggressive’ nickname for a certain type of passenger

Another seasoned traveller says a travel etiquette rule they feel “very strongly about” has to do with the how some people act when sitting in an aisle seat.

“Creating a row environment where the window person doesn’t feel like a hostage,” Alicia Johnson, Destination Editor, said.

“If they need to go to the bathroom, it’s up the aisle (and middle) person to allow them to feel comfortable doing it.”

At the airport, there is little surprise that the baggage claim continues to be the source of the biggest frustration among the experts.

Lonely Planet Editorial Director Fionnuala McCarthy called out anyone guilty of hugging the luggage carousel.

“Why do some people stand right up against the belt waiting for their bag, blocking everyone else, or worse, jam their trolley up to it?

“If I ruled the travel world, everyone would have to stand a good two metres back, behind a visible painted line, and only be allowed to approach the carousel when their bag is within arm’s reach. I’d deploy airport security resources to police it.”

Though sadly we know that even a painted line does little to help sometimes.

Oceania’s Destination Editor Jessica Lockhart has similar frustrations over the baggage claim.

”If everyone took a step backwards, we’d all have an easier time spotting our bags and wheeling them away without bumping into our fellow travellers,” she said.

“It’s not just about being polite; it’s about making travel more equitable. Travellers with mobility considerations or parents travelling with children may need more space and time to lift their bag off the belt.”

The team shares more funny, frustrating, and relatable mistakes people make when travelling in a new book called Don’t Hike Naked in Switzerland.
