In-flight drama has taken off in recent years, from Tiffany Gomas' infamous breakdown caught on camera last year to countless other passenger tirades that have made headlines since.

Though these incidents often center around a single individual causing mid-air chaos, they've also sparked fierce national debates about what is and isn't acceptable to do on board a commercial jet.

One woman recently ignited a discussion over airplane etiquette after getting into a screaming match with a fellow passenger she accused of 'pushing her seat repeatedly' when she reclined it last November.

More recently, another woman caused a stir after getting into a tug-of-war over the window blind with a hand emerging from the seat behind her - which turned out to be that of a child.

But now an eye-opening YouGov survey has revealed what Americans really think about which in-flight behaviors are acceptable - and which most certainly are not.

Conduct most Americans agreed is a major faux pas included letting your children run rampant down the aisles, getting drunk on board, and leaving your seat during mid-air turbulence.

Most people agreed - 86 percent of those polled - that letting your children play in the aisle is unacceptable, while 82 percent said getting drunk crosses the line.

The same proportion of those polled said leaving your seat during turbulence is irritating, while 81 percent agreed watching a movie without headphones is a serious faux pas.

Most people - 79 percent - also said that leaving trash in the seatback pocket when they exit the plane is unacceptable, while 74 percent condemned using both armrests when someone is sitting next to you.

Some 68 percent said eating strong-smelling food is a pet peeve, and 66 percent said not paying attention during the safety demonstration is a no-go.

The survey of more than 1,000 people conducted in May this year also revealed the etiquettes which split opinions down the middle - with as many US residents saying they're acceptable as those who condemn them as a pet peeve.

These include making a phone call, bringing a small dog on board, unbuckling your seatbelt when the light isn't on, and leaving the overhead light on when the cabin lights are switched off.

Other behaviors, meanwhile, are widely regarded as being acceptable by most of the people polled.

They include using a laptop on the tray table, waking up a seatmate to use the bathroom, and pushing the flight attendant call button to ask for refreshments.

Opinions on plane etiquette are driven by how often someone flies, according to YouGov, with frequent fliers being less tolerant of certain actions.

People who said they fly commercially at least once a year are more likely to say it's unacceptable to make a phone call while in the air and to put small items in the overhead compartment on a full flight.

YouGov surveyed 1,152 US adults in May using a mix of people from across all demographics.
