Flight attendant reveals the different types of plane passengers that cabin crew HATE… so, are YOU one of them?
Church groups, selfish dads and schoolchildren are all on a flight attendant's naughty list
THE summer holidays are nearing – the two months that everyone in the UK has been waiting for all year… apart from flight attendants of course.
Millions of families take to the skies for the annual vacation, bringing all of their baggage – physical and emotional – with them.
But when it comes to mile high madness, some passengers are definitely worse than others.
A flight attendant called Brad Bernoulli has revealed to the which fliers that cabin crew like the least, including selfish dads and rowdy schoolchildren.
From smuggled alcohol to inappropriate prayers, there's plenty of behaviour that could get you put on the naughty list.
The most difficult passengers have the crew praying that September will arrive faster.
Could you be one of those passengers? Read on to find out…
Selfish dads
According to Brad, it’s not uncommon to see a man who flies a lot for work using his air miles for a seat in First or Business Class, while the wife and kids are left in Economy.
After sending a glass of Champagne back to his wife in Economy, the man then got very drunk on the free booze and tried to hit on Brad, who is gay.

Lads
Passengers aren’t the only ones on a plane to dislike boozed-up lads – they often manage to annoy the cabin crew too.
Brad said: “I’m used to watching muscular meatheads and their arm candy board and immediately try to drink their own booze onboard, or worse – try to play beer pong across several rows of seats.
Groups of school children
Cabin crew struggle with these passengers mainly because they remind them of their own awkward youth.
Brad said: “The crew suffers from mortifying second-hand embarrassment as we watch the popular kids to try avoid sitting with the less popular, and remember our own school days.”
Church groups
Groups of passengers from a church group who travel together might sound harmless enough, but apparently they can really get in the way at prayer time.
Brad said: “[They] always seem to try to clasp hands and form a prayer circle in the cabin at the worst possible time, or have their leader tell his flock that the way flying works is that God lifts the plane into the sky and sets it carefully back down.”
