30 x the biggest annoyances while flying

Actually, my irritations about flying start at the airport. For example, when you are automatically checked in but still have to go to that counter because you apparently didn't download the boarding passes correctly. Then the gate is a hassle to walk to, because you're not flying with KLM but with easyJet. This means you have to wait in a part of the airport where there's hardly anything to eat or shop. And then that one moment at the gate when everyone starts lining up even though boarding hasn't even started yet. That really annoys me. But once on the plane, most irritations obviously occur. I admit: they are all a bit of luxury problems, but I still want to complain about them.
