As summer holiday season approaches, travellers are being urged to pay closer attention to their in-flight etiquette. A new survey conducted by travel comparison site Tiger.co.uk has revealed the most frustrating passenger behaviours on planes, and highlighted one habit that could now result in a financial penalty.

While reclining seats topped the list as the number one annoyance among passengers, it's the second most common complaint that could now cost travellers money. In Turkey, standing up before the seatbelt sign has been switched off has become an increasingly common behaviour has prompted aviation authorities to introduce a new on-the-spot fine of £53.

The regulation was brought in following a surge in complaints from fellow passengers.

Authorities say the rule is not only about curbing disruptive behaviour but also about protecting passengers from injury.

Standing before the aircraft has come to a complete stop puts travellers at risk if the plane brakes suddenly during taxiing.

Ian Wilson, managing director at Tiger.co.uk and travel insurance expert, stressed the importance of observing even the most basic rules of air travel.

"With summer holidays fast approaching, it's a good time for holidaymakers to brush up on basic plane and airport etiquette," he said.

"What might seem like small and harmless habits, like reclining your seat or standing up before the seatbelt sign is off, can seriously impact the comfort and even safety of others on board."

"It all comes down to being considerate," he said. "Small actions like asking before reclining your seat, using headphones when using devices, or being ready at security can make a big difference to everyone's travel experience."

The survey also shed light on a range of other irritating behaviours that frequently test the patience of fellow travellers.

One of the most common complaints is passengers who arrive at airport security or passport control unprepared. Whether it's fumbling for documents or forgetting to remove items from their bags, such disorganisation can add delays and frustration during what is already a chaotic peak season.

Passengers also expressed irritation with those who use phones or tablets without headphones, especially when playing loud videos or music.

Another pet peeve is people standing up in their rows even before the plane doors open, effectively blocking aisles and delaying disembarkation for others.

Similarly, queuing at the gate before boarding is called causes unnecessary crowding and does not get passengers to their seats any faster.
