A survey has identified the rudest behaviors passengers exhibit while boarding planes. CBS News and The Points Guy report that many Americans believe airplane etiquette is worsening. The HuffPost, Yahoo Creators, and Washington Examiner have all covered the survey, which found that passengers are increasingly frustrated with behaviors such as delaying the boarding process, not allowing others to access their overhead bins, and recline their seats too far back.

The survey results have been widely discussed, with The Boar noting that the stress and delays of flying can exacerbate these issues. The Points Guy and Yahoo Creators both note that passengers often blame others for poor behavior, rather than examining their own actions. The survey results have reignited discussions about airplane etiquette and the need for better behavior among passengers.

However, the survey does not specify whether these behaviors are more prevalent now than in previous years, or if passengers are simply more aware of them.
