Sorry Katie and Osama... these seats are taken

It's official! Well, sort of... Katie Price and Osama Bin Laden are the two people that passengers really don't want to fly with. That's one of the findings from the latest survey of consumer-intelligence.com' by Consumer Intelligence, a provider of information to the insurance industry.

Katie Price was by far and away the least popular person, beating Naomi Campbell by a factor of three. And Naomi wasn't very popular, either! Wayne Rooney, Gordon Brown and Colonel Gadaffi completed the list of passengers people wanted to avoid sitting next to on a plane. The survey found that buyers of travel insurance buyers wanted to sit next to Cheryl Cole, Barack Obama, Angelina Jolie and Michael Palin.

Traveller’s main irritations seem to involve other passengers. Specific problems included being woken up by having the back of seats pulled by the person behind as they get up, body odour, noisy children, and those leaning across to reach for luggage, food and drink.

The survey also found that lack of seating space, airport delays, advertised prices that aren’t what you pay and officious security staff made flyers very cross indeed!

However, if you park your car with www.APH.com that's one thing guaranteed to help you keep your holiday hassle free!
