The most common complaint among respondents related to in-cabin noise.

The survey follows US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy's criticism of some flight behavior.

From seat-reclining disputes to disagreements over when it's OK to switch seats , many Americans say airline etiquette has gotten worse over the past five years, according to a new survey from the travel website The Points Guy (TPG).

Among the respondents' biggest pet peeves were people listening to audio without headphones, reclining their seats too far back, and taking off their shoes in the cabin.

TPG commissioned the survey through YouGov, a global public-opinion and data company.

It polled more than 2,500 US adults and found that 42% say flying etiquette is worsening, with 52% blaming other passengers rather than the airlines themselves.

The culture shift has sparked debate among passengers and flight attendants in recent years.

Current and former flight attendants have previously told Business Insider that disregarding seat belt signs and attending to your personal hygiene are big no-nos, while a parent flying with their baby in economy class doesn't bother them.

US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has also weighed in.

In November, he cautioned passengers against wearing pajamas and slippers to the airport, and advised them to control their frustration during travel: " I would encourage people to dress a little better, which encourages us to maybe behave a little better," he said in a press conference.

Some airlines are also pointing out etiquette expectations.

German airline Lufthansa unveiled a giveaway-only apparel collection on Wednesday that playfully nods to the rule that the 'Middle seat gets the armrests,' as displayed on its sweatshirts.

Other slogans include 'Live, love, exit by row,' and 'Recline responsibly." In a June post to Threads, Southwest Airlines said passengers "won't get off the plane faster by standing up .001 seconds after the seatbelt sign turns off." Just 12% of survey respondents, about 300 people, said they don't get annoyed by passenger behavior.
