Headphone-less travelers spark frustration in airports and planes

  • / Updated:
  • Staff Report 

A growing number of airline passengers are infuriating fellow travelers by watching videos or taking calls on speaker mode without headphones, both in airports and mid-flight. Flyers describe the noise as disruptive, with one flight attendant noting it happens on nearly every flight.


Some blame the trend on the decline of cheap wired headphones, while others cite a broader breakdown in public decorum. Airlines like American and Delta now issue headphone advisories, but many passengers remain hesitant to confront offenders for fear of escalating tensions.

As device usage skyrockets, the issue highlights the clash between evolving tech habits and basic travel etiquette, leaving many travelers longing for quieter skies.
