7 Tips for Travelers on How to Avoid Being Annoying

Posted on May 30, 2023January 25, 2023 by Clare Williams

Are you a traveler? If you are, chances are you’ve encountered people who can be quite grating while on your travels.

Here are seven tips to help you avoid being one of those people and instead make everyone around you feel comfortable.

1. Don’t Be the Last One to Board

When traveling, it’s important to avoid being annoying to other travelers and respect their space. One way to do this is to never be the last person to board the plane.

Do your best to be ready to board when the time comes. Don’t take time out of other people’s travel plans by dawdling and delaying boarding for everyone else.

Make sure you have your seats, baggage, and other travel necessities ready before boarding. If applicable, print boarding passes in advance of the flight and make sure you have pre-checked-in luggage.

Be mindful of the line when waiting to board and let those with special needs board first. Being courteous and respectful of others also helps to make travel more pleasant for everyone involved.

2. Be Considerate of Others’ Needs

If you’re traveling, be considerate of others’ needs. When traveling in a group, always share the spotlight and give everyone a turn to talk.

If someone is quiet, don’t monopolize their time by chatting incessantly. Try to respect people’s personal space and avoid making them feel uncomfortable.

When traveling alone, be aware of your surroundings and be conscientious of how your actions might affect other travelers. For example, don’t stand on the same stairwell or rail for an extended period.

3. Don’t Take Up More Space Than Necessary

When traveling, it’s important to avoid taking up more space than necessary. This can be difficult, as some people naturally take up more room than others.

You can try leaning against the wall or other piece of furniture when sitting or standing. This will help you take up less space and make it easier for others to move around you.

Also, avoid using your luggage as a stool or table. This will not only take up space, but it can also be dangerous if your luggage falls on someone.

4. Don’t Hog the Closet

If you’re planning a trip, one of the best ways to avoid being annoying is to not hog the closet. This means leaving enough space for others so that they can get their clothes out without having to wait for you.

And if you have to take everything out at once, be sure to put your clothes back in the same order you took them out. This is so that other travelers can easily find what they’re looking for.

Additionally, try not to monopolize the mirror or front of the closet. Leave some space for others so they can get their hair done or make themselves look presentable.

And finally, be respectful of other people’s time. Don’t keep asking people if they need help getting dressed or if they’ve seen anything nice in the store.

5. Keep Your Voice Volume to a Minimum

Voice volume can be a major annoyance when traveling. When speaking loudly, it can be difficult to hear others and can disrupt conversations.

When traveling in groups, it is important to keep your voice volume to a minimum so that everyone can continue talking. Additionally, avoid shouting or making other loud noises. These habits can also be disruptive and annoying.

If you are traveling for an extended period, it is helpful to use a voice recorder to capture your conversations. This can be especially helpful if you encounter difficulty hearing others or if you need to remember important details from your conversations.

6. Thank People for Their Time and Effort

When traveling, you should thank people for their time and effort in helping you out. A small but sincere “Thank You” can do wonders.

Not only is it polite, but it can also show people that you appreciate the effort they are putting into helping you. This will motivate them to continue to assist.

Additionally, make sure to take people’s advice into account. Be proactive in trying to sort out any issues without requiring someone else to do it for you.

Even if things don’t work out, showing your appreciation is much better than blaming other people. Be mindful and courteous of other people’s time. Doing so will ensure that everyone is happier and more comfortable.

7. Turn off All Electronics When Trying to Sleep

When traveling, it’s important to be considerate of your fellow travelers. One way to avoid being an annoyance is to turn off all electronic devices when trying to sleep.

Not only will this help you get a good night’s rest, but it will also keep your device from emitting noise that could disturb others. Additionally, try to refrain from using electronics in general before bedtime. This will help you get a better night’s sleep and avoid staying up too late.
