Americans' number one worry while on a trip is being placed next to an overly chatty passenger. The next five top nightmares after that are: paying expensive travel prices; having a flight cancelled or overbooked; dealing with massive delays; missing a flight or layover; and sitting near crying children. What would you say is your top worry when travelling?
