Absolute air rage...

Inconsiderate seat reclining has been voted the number one annoying habit of air travellers in a new air etiquette survey.

Seat kicking, screaming kids and bad body odour were also high on the list. More than 730 people took part in the online survey, which was conducted by TotalTravel.com between December and January.

Inconsiderate reclining was voted the top turn-off by one-third of respondents. "There's nothing worse than someone reclining their seat on a plane while you are eating and your food and drink ends up in your lap,'' TotalTravel.com global marketing manager Paul Fisher said.

"Seat recliners are also notorious for reclining their seat so far backwards that they squash the passenger behind them and they have no room to move.''

Seat kicking received the thumbs-down from 22 per cent of those surveyed, while screaming children was voted annoying by 19 per cent.

Other peeves included loud talkers and frequent bathroom visits.

"It's clear from this survey that good manners go a long way,'' Mr Fisher said.
