Passenger from hell Photo: Thinkstock

  
  1. The oblivious parent - The kids kick your seat from take-off to touchdown, but these parents might as well be on another plane.
  2. The space invader - The armrest hog whose arms, knees and legs invade your personal space.
  3. The biohazard - Sneezing, sniffling and sweating, this bloke should wear a HAZMAT (hazardous material) sticker on his lapel
  4. Chatterboxes - From their divorce to their dental work, they’re the tell-all talkers – and you’re their captive audience.
  5. The smelly-food snacker  - Kimchi (a strong-smelling Korean dish) is delicious. So is strong cheese, and garlic. But 40cm from your face?
  6. Carry-all - She’s filled the entire overhead locker luggage compartment, and the space in front of YOUR seat, with all her stuff.
  7. The self-entitled - He treats the flight attendants as personal servants, with a trigger-finger on the call-button.
  8. The seat swapper  - They troll the cabin trying to “trade up” or give you their best puppy eyes and plead, “Can you let us sit together?”
  9. The nervous wreck - She whimpers over every sound and shudder, white-knuckling it all the way.
  10. The entertainment director  - He’s blasting his tunes or watching car-chase movies on his laptop, and you can’t change the channel.
