PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest in a series of "Ouch Point" surveys from Opinion Research Corporation (an infoUSA Company, Nasdaq: IUSA) cites flight delays (16 percent) and "parking lots" on the tarmac (16 percent) as consumers' top complaints when traveling by air. Causes of airline angst appear to vary significantly with age. Nearly one quarter of those respondents between the ages of 35 and 44 were aggravated by delayed or cancelled flights, compared with only 13 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 24. For younger respondents, lost luggage was the biggest source of irritation (18 percent). "Strict safety regulations have contributed to a diminished customer experience in recent years," said Wayne Russum, Vice President at Opinion Research USA. "Airlines also have to contend with measures outside of their control, such as weather and traffic delays, which further impact the customer experience and can potentially damage the airline's reputation. Young adults appear to be more tolerant of these inconveniences than older generations are." Although recent carry-on luggage restrictions did not appear to be a significant concern for most respondents, those between the ages of 18 and 24 (10 percent) were the most likely to take issue with having to reduce cabin baggage. Interestingly, the higher the household income, the more likely the respondent was to be annoyed by delayed or cancelled flights (23 percent) and sitting on the runway for more than 30 minutes (21%). The survey also revealed that a sizeable proportion of respondents (38 percent) did not believe that airlines are honest about the reasons for flight delays or cancellations. Consumers top airline travel "Ouch Points" include: Delayed or cancelled flights 16 % Sitting on the runway for more than 30 minutes 16 % Lost luggage 13 % Long lines for security 9 % Long lines at check-in 8 % Crowded flights where every seat is taken 7 % Carry-on baggage restrictions 5 % Rude flight attendants 4 % Opinion Research Corporation's "Ouch Point" series is a monthly survey examining tolerance thresholds in a variety of common scenarios facing Americans in both their professional and personal lives every day.
