Choonis and the Bro Share 11 Pet Peeves to Avoid When Traveling
Travel tips populate the internet constantly.
Everyone wants to know the best vacation spots, the best places to eat, the best shows to see, and any other events taking place at a particular destination.
Andrew Salciunas and Jamie Lynch took a different spin on travel tips during the 97.5 The Fanatic Midday Show.
Travel Tips: Avoiding Pet Peeves
What about the things to avoid? There are pet peeves that any traveler has to deal with, and some people fuel the fire that drives other people crazy.
Andrew returned from his trip to Mexico last week with some important life takeaways. He opened the floor to listeners to share their best (worst) answers, and the topic took off.
Jamie brings past experience traveling all across the country on Sunday Night Football every weekend throughout the fall. He’s seen a few airports, and he’s experienced a few nightmares.
Producer Ray Dunne drew from his experiences traveling as the play-by-play announcer for the Temple Women’s Basketball team during his college years. The job came with some late nights and some frustrating realities.
Fanatic callers love a good opportunity to vent their daily frustrations, and they answer the call by offering some travel tips that you probably haven’t heard before.
People Leaving the Plane Before It’s Their Turn
Severe weather over the weekend forced Andrew to wait through the “Little League Baseball Rule,” when a plane has to cautiously wait immediately after a pilot sees lightning.
Travel delays might be annoying, but they’re annoying for everyone.
It doesn’t excuse the woman who got up from one of the back seats and darted off the plane before it was her turn.
When a plane lands, the passengers in the front rows take their bags and exit in order. The people in the back just have to wait.

The Converse: Taking Too Long At the Front
Conversely, if you’re at the front of the plane, you need to recognize that the system will bug the people at the back of the plane.
Get your bag quickly, and get off the plane.
It’s also not a shocker that a fist class passenger might not be too considerate of a coach passenger.

Using the Bathroom on a Plane
Sometimes, it’s a necessity. A long plane ride might include a trip to the bathroom.
However, getting up to use the bathroom doesn’t give you the right to grab the headrest of the seat in front of you to pull yourself out the airplane seat.
The person sitting in the other seat doesn’t need to fall backwards so you can have leverage to stand up.

Trying to Fit an Oversized Bag Into the Overhead Bin
All travelers want to avoid bag fees.
However, you have to know before you leave for vacation if your bag will fit in an overhead storage area. Have some foresight. Either cram stuff into a smaller bag or just pay the bag fee.

Taking Shoes Off On A Plane
Keep your shoes on in settings where other people can smell your feet.
People who take their shoes off and put their feet up in front of them are even worse.

A Weakness of the Hotel Industry
A hotel room might not provide you with your preferred cable service, which is a reality most vacationers are willing to accept.
If that’s the case, why wouldn’t the hotel provide you with a channel lineup for a service/area that guests are unfamiliar with?
