A woman has taken to social media to share what she thinks is one of the worst airport habits people have while waiting for a flight. Posting to TikTok, the woman who goes by the name of nicoletravelandlife, said the most annoying thing people do is to queue to get on the plane as soon as it’s ready to board.

She said there are two types of people at an airport, those who wait until the last minute to get on and those who form a huge queue immediately even though the gate isn’t actually open yet. The woman shared her thoughts while waiting for a Ryanair flight to Romania.

There are many common airport habits which often cause issues when people are waiting for their flights.

A commenter said people often try to get on first to ensure luggage space.

The person said: “Also to your first point – people queue to get on first for luggage space nowadays as it’s so tight.”

Another said: “This is why you should always pay for your specific seat.”

One person added: “Does it matter if people queue or not, can people do what they want at an airport please, there is enough stress with flying.”

Another bug-bear for many travellers is when people try to rush to the front of the security line and push in to get through first.

Some people may not be considerate when you are seated next to them on the plane. For example, they may be loud or messy or take up too much space.

Other passengers may fail to properly prepare for security screening, holding up the line by fumbling with their bags and shoes.

And there are those who ignore overhead storage rules, taking up more space than needed and forcing others to scramble to find room for their carry-ons.

To make sure you’re not going to be an annoying passenger, you should be aware of your surroundings when flying.

Make sure to prepare your items for security in advance can help speed up the process and avoid holding up others.

Keep your conversations quiet and avoiding phone calls in shared spaces can make the flight experience more pleasant for everyone.

The woman urged people to be aware of their surroundings to ensure all passengers are happy and comfortable when flying.

A stunning coastal region in Turkey is quickly becoming a go-to destination for British travellers looking for a pre-season escape, thanks to its golden beaches, turquoise waters, and warm temperatures long before summer hits. Dalaman, one of Turkey’s most breathtaking coastal regions, sees highs of 25C in May, making it perfect for those looking to soak up the sun without peak-season crowds.

But one of Dalaman’s biggest draws is its affordability, with data from MA shared by Travel Republic showing that a domestic beer in the region costs just £2.08 on average, less than half the UK’s average of £4.79. Even imported beers remain budget-friendly at just £3.28, which makes it an ideal party and wedding destination. And while a little further East on the map, Dalaman is one of the most affordable European getaways, with flights from as little as £35.

The area has seen a surge in popularity, with 4.2 million Brits arriving in the first 10 months of 2024 alone.

According to Travel Republic, interest in ‘Turkey holidays’ has soared recently, with 81,000 searches in the last month.

Beyond its great prices, Dalaman boasts stunning landscapes and a rich history, with the Blue Lagoon in Ölüdeniz often highlighted as a must-visit thanks to its crystal-clear waters and picture-perfect greenery.

Adventure-seekers can paraglide from Babadağ Mountain, one of the most popular paragliding spots in the world with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.

For a taste of history, the ancient city of Kaunos has rock-cut tombs and Roman ruins, while the Dalyan River has a scenic boat trip to the famous Iztuzu Beach, home to protected loggerhead turtles.

Many resorts in the area boast huge swimming pools, private beaches and luscious spas, giving guests little reason for venturing out.

But when exploring outdoors, visitors are advised to pay for the Sultaniye Thermal Springs, where mineral-rich waters are said to have healing properties.

The Dalaman River is another hotspot, with thrilling white-water rafting experiences for those looking for an adrenaline rush after a much-needed rest by the pool.

Foodies will enjoy Dalaman’s authentic Turkish cuisine, which includes fresh seafood, juicy kebabs, and flavourful mixed meze platters. These are often accompanied by a glass of local wine or aniseed-flavoured raki.

For an authentic experience, visitors can explore bazaars or local markets, where they can find aromatic spices, handcrafted ceramics, and colourful textiles.

A plane passenger decided to take action when the man sitting next to him behaved in a “creepy” way.

Plane etiquette is a divisive topic as, while most agree it’s important to be considerate and mindful of their fellow passengers, some people engage in less considerate action.

Whether they demand other people’s seats, choose to listen to loud music sans headphones, or engage in heated debates on whether reclining seats is right or wrong, being in such close quarters makes for some awkward situations.

One person was so fed up with their fellow passenger on a recent flight, they chose to make things “uncomfortable”. On Reddit, they explained: “The other day while flying, I chose to sit in the aisle seat of [the] exit row with two seats. My boarding number was a low B.

“Boarding was just about complete when one of the last passengers decided to [sit] next to me. I have no problem as he is allowed to choose any seat he wants.”

They continued: “Well this guy is about 6’5″ tall. And once he sits down, he decides he wants to spread his legs out into the area in front of my seat to try to get comfortable, resting his leg against mine (creepy). I was not having any of it so I said something and he moved. He looked uncomfortable the rest of the flight….sorry, not sorry.”

They said that if taller people “don’t want to be uncomfortable on the plane”, they should “check-in on time” so they’re able to have more seating options open to them.

Finishing their self-described “rant”, they added: “Finally, don’t expect people to give you extra space to make up for your lack of responsibility.”

The post resonated with others who’d experienced similar situations. One woman explained: “As a small woman, I have no sympathy for people that want to encroach upon my space. Keep your feet out of the space in front of me, and keep your arms and legs away from mine.

“Just because I’m not filling up the whole area of my seat doesn’t mean others can move in. When people start that garbage, I will use my bag to block them from doing it, and I’ve done the same with my briefcase on the seat next to me during a flight.”

Another agreed: “This!! I’m not large, so people in airplanes constantly expand into my space, including significant touching/pressure. It’s not ok. Everyone gets the same space, not yours and some of the next person’s. Especially not ok to throw in the creep/touch factor.”

A third commented: “Everything else aside, it’s not okay to splay your leg out so you’re touching thighs with the person next to you. This is transportation, not a date.”

And another said: “Don’t lean against me or touch me when I’m sitting next to you or you’re definitely getting some attitude and I’m saying something.”

But someone else added: “This post is very size-ist. 6’5” people have feelings too.”
