People are flying again. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that the industry continues to recover. Total traffic in 2023 rose 36.9% compared to 2022, which equates to 94.1% of pre-pandemic (2019) levels.

However, our behavior hasn’t really improved. On the contrary, unruly passenger incidents have also been rising, so we at Bored Panda decided to put together a collection of pictures showing some of the most egotistical travelers. Hopefully, they will serve as a reminder to remain considerate and respect others.

#11 This Mom Shares Colorful Travel Hack To Keep Toddlers Quiet On Flights

“These are a great tool to pull out when the iPad has run its course. I prefer to let my toddler use these when I want him to go to sleep, because the iPad stimulates him and I find it’s harder to get him to sleep. And we all know a sleeping toddler on a long flight is a MAJOR WIN.”
