A former flight attendant has revealed the most irritating type of passenger to have on a plane - and it's not a screaming baby.
In fact, she said that it is passengers who complain about crying babies that are a bigger nuisance for the cabin crew.
Ex-air hostess Kat Kamalani posted a video on TikTok that showed a short clip of an irritated passenger shushing a crying baby on a plane.

She commented on the woman's behaviour in the caption, writing: "THIS i promise you, you wont win… just be a kind human and dont don't this."
In the video, which has over 1.5 million views, Kat went on to explain how it's not babies who are the most annoying people to have on a flight but other passengers who are rude about them.
Kat said it was up to the passengers to bring headphones to drown out the sound - and warned people not to ask to move seats as it is irritating for the crew and unfair on the parents who are struggling.
She said: "I promise you, there's nothing that irritates us more a flight attendant when people complain about a baby crying.
"So if you're travelling, bring noise-cancelling headphones, or maybe ask the parent if they need help.
"Don't even ask to be moved to a different seat, because I promise you no one wants that baby to stop crying more than that parent."
In the comments, one mother shared a piece of advice she received while travelling with her child, saying: "I had a flight attendant tell me... 'let her cry, you won't see these people again anyways'. Helped me so much."
Another added: "Just tell them: Dear costumer, this is a public transportation. Next time fly in your private jet."
A third explained the reason babies tend to cry on planes, saying: "Babies cry probably because height pressure causes them ear pains."
Meanwhile, a fourth shared a way she helped a parent on a flight, writing: "I once spent a 1.5 hour flight playing with a fussy baby with a 1/2 empty water bottle while their Momma napped... Kept baby happy."
