Airplane habits: Are you normal or weird?

Buzzfeed recently conducted a "quiz" to find out how people feel about common flying habits and they got well over 100,000 responses. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Which seat is the best? 70% said the window seat, 29% went with the aisle, and 1% picked the middle seat.


2. Which is easier: Just a carry-on or just a checked bag? 63% chose the carry-on and 37% said they'd rather check it, so they don't have to lug it around.

3.  What is the best airplane snack?  45% said cookies, 41% said pretzels, and 14% said peanuts, although those are rare on planes now, due to allergy policies.

4. Do you recline in your seat? 45% said no because it's rude to the person behind you. 43% said yes, but only if they're trying to sleep. 12% said yes all the time. (I paid for that seat, I'm reclining!)

5.  Do you use the on-board bathroom?  68% said YES, 32% said NO.

6. Which seat do the armrests belong to? 37% said they both belong to the middle seat. 26% said "whoever gets there first."
