Air travel can be a wonderfully convenient way to get from Point A to Point B, yet it’s not without its stresses. A survey conducted by Priority Pass via Travel + Leisure has revealed some of the most stressful aspects of flying. Here’s more on what travelers agree is the most anxiety-inducing facet of air travel.

Being stuck in traffic, arriving to the airport too late, and thus missing the flight was the most popular reason for travel stress.
