Americans Prefer Turbulence Over Screaming Kids on Flights

Screaming kids or turbulence? A poll reveals Americans would rather face bumpy skies than endless screaming.

Would you rather be on a long flight with really bad turbulence, or a kid who won’t stop SCREAMING the whole way?  America has spoken, and it’s close . . . but we’d rather worry about the plane being ripped apart.

Someone polled 2,000 flyers to find the Top 10 things that make us feel “uneasy” or “uncomfortable” while flying.  And it’s basically a tie for first.

1.  Screaming children.  51.6% said it makes them uneasy.

2.  Turbulence, 51.5%.

3.  Loud adults, 47%.

4.  Flight delays, 40%.

5.  The bathrooms are gross, 40%.

6.  The crew is rude, 35%.

7.  People constantly walking up and down the aisles, 34%.

8.  Not getting to pick your seat, 28%.

9.  The cabin is too hot or too cold, 26%.

10.  Long waits for the bathroom, 26%.

They also looked at the top things that put us at EASE on flights.  The top five are a nice crew . . . choosing your own seat . . . good in-flight entertainment . . . space to get up and stretch . . . and outlets to charge your electronics.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
