Worse to be next to on a plane. Bad breath guy or

Tall people are probably the worst people to sit next to unless we're in an emergency exit row. I'm 6'6" and I'm pretty much going to spill over into your leg space whether either of us like it or not, especially if the person in front reclines.
That's why the person in front doesn't recline. As soon as I see them try I make sure my knees don't allow their seat to move one bit.0 -
I don't mind BO or bad breath. I can turn my head. Don't mind the large people either, as long as they are not literally in my seat. A little overhang ain't no thing in my book. I'm not afraid of touching people. Our culture's too touch-a-phobic IMO.
But anyway, yeah, I hate young children on flights. Even if they don't "act up", they still tend to talk loudly or annoyingly, squirm, etc, while everyone around them is in severely claustrophobic conditions. Unless you've got them doped up on benadryl so they sleep for the duration, small children just CONSISTENTLY make flights annoying at the very least for other people. Even the best behaved. It's just how children are, and the extenuating circumstances of the situation.0 -
Bo because I can look away for the bad breath guy at least. I hate bad breath, and usually try and offer the person a mint when they have it, but I doubt I will be chatting up the bad-breath guy next to me lol.Bo would suck though, since I can't escape xD0

This...I've had to call the stewardess just to get the person in front of me to bring seat back up because they absolutely refused to be curteous and not crush my knees.0 -

Yeah, I usually play that game too. I remember one time I was flying overseas to Germany and the little **** in front of me must have known I was doing it because he reclined the moment I went to the bathroom. Worst 10+ hour flight ever0 -
Kids that kick the back of the seat the whole time are bad.
But, the worst flight I've been on was sitting next to the guy who was drunk when he got on the plane, continued drinking during the flight, so I had to endure his drunken conversation, to have him then pass out, snoring, on my shoulder.
Yeah, that was fun,0 -
I buy all three seats so I can have the whole fcuking row to myself...........0

Old person wearing a dirty diaper, happened to me once, worst 5 hours flight ever!

I'm actually okay with crying babies. Babies cry, that's life.
Wow. You might just be my new hero!0 -
Awwww...I know everyone has experienced an irritating kid on a flight before, but I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I mean, think about all the thoughts going through our minds, "Oh my gosh this guy's breath stinks, this girl has BO, that couple is talking so loudly, I am hungry, I have to pee, but I don't want to get up, my back hurts, my leg hurts, where's the flight attendant with the drink cart?" I could go on and on. Little kids express this on a plane by crying and whining. Grown ups mostly hold it inside and fume over it. The ones that don't...well, they end up getting tasered by the Marshall on the plane.
That said, to choose between these two, BO would bother me more than bad breath...unless the bad breath is so offensive that it seeps out through the nose or the person is a ridiculous mouth breather. At least BO tends to smell sort of onionlike which makes me think of the way it smells when one saute's onions for a delicious cheese steak or something.
Edited to add: My son who is now 6 1/2 has flown almost every year since he was 9 months old. Every time we fly I worry, "is this going to be the time he is the kid everyone hates." Every time he is super well behaved and even has new adult friends by the time the flight is over. We've even had people give him little trinkets as gifts because he's so sweet and fun.0 -
BO...bad breathe I'll pray they fall asleep or turn away as they talk BO is just nasty...oh don't sit next to little children either, can not deal with them, babies are far worse 4 long-haul flights last summer with screaming little children/babies scarred for life ...think i may have to consider paying the extortionate club-class fees in order to escape it all
little kids on long haul flights make me shudder :frown:0 -
I could care less about any just don't sit me next to a f'n chatterbox!0

Not heroic but my problems are with people who are inconsiderate. Babies don't know what's going on. I feel bad for the parent trying to get somewhere, the kids crying and all he or she gets is dirty looks. Hey we were all babies once and annoyed someone with our crying. Karma.0 -
Quite frankly, no one wants to sit next to ME on a plane. I am "Claustrophobic, afraid of heights, gets motion sick" woman. Plus when I take the dramamine for the motion sick part, I become "woozy, groggy, silly" woman.0

Bad BO guy?
I am still wondering what BO stands for.
Bobby Orange lol

Bad BO. At least the bad breath person can keep their mouth shut or you just look away when they talk to you. LOL I seriously thought you were gonna say a fat guy. LOL OBESE people.. is that one of the choices? If so, then definitely an obese individual. That's like 5 individuals in one, their fat spilling over into my seat which I paid for....0

I'm usually quite shmammerd on long flights so - neither, but don't you dare sit me next to a prude - that'll kill my very expensive air plane buzz...0

How about we just complain about how we can't seem to make them bring that back?
I first flew on a commercial jet 38 years ago! Yeah, old guy here. Flying was a luxurious, fun and slightly glamorous thing to do, at least for this small town guy off to see the big city by himself for the first time ever. The thing is, it was also outrageously expensive back then, at least in the U.S.
In a sense, we've done this too ourselves by buying the cheapest seats possible.0 -

They do still have wonderful conditions. It is called First Class, and as long as you don't mind selling your children on the black market, you can afford it too.0 -
Personal Space Invaders… Unfortunately, culturally these types typically have personal hygiene issues as well.0

The guy that's spilling into my seat. They're the most annoying.
I will be your airplane buddy!
I took a flight last week for the first time in years and actually fit in my seat.0 -

Sir...if you've flown American lately...those same old *kitten* airplanes are still gracing our skys and shuttling folks to & fro. Nothings changed...blame it on McDonalds.0 -

Ha... you're right. But you know what even First Class doesn't replicate from the old days: No TSA! That's right. I was a young guy and stepped right up to the counter and paid for my one way ticket to San Francisco with cash. Today, that alone would make me a suspect. AND, friends could greet you at the airport at the gate. Can you imagine? We used to just walk around the airport wherever we wanted to go!
Ooohh... I just remembered another negative besides the cost. People would smoke on airplanes. Seems crazy now. We were all together in this enclosed aluminum tube at 30,000 feet and not far away, people would be smoking. Of course, we were in the "No Smoking" section but there was nothing between us and the smokers.0 -
Either one is fine. Just don't seat me near anyone under the age of 13.
I used to have an issue with kids on a plane. Then I had kids. My last flight there was a toddler in back of me crying and all i could think about was what I could do to comfort her.0 -

A pillow, firmly placed over the face is a good way to get them to relax.0 -

I know better than to fly American... and while some of the old planes may be around, they were long ago retrofitted with more seats.
Besides the planes, the business is different. The U.S. deregulated airlines in 1978.0
