28% complained about couples canoodling indiscreetly next to them
3. Don't tell your life story to the person sitting next to you
12% of holidaymakers can't stand it when a complete stranger engages in lengthy conversations about themselves.
4. If you are listening to a CD player please consider those around you and keep the volume down to a level where only you can hear it
