Study: Bad behavior on flights drops by 75% in the last three years despite viral moments

People are behaving better on major airlines these days, aside from the videos that seem to go viral all the time.

A new report from Gate Checked finds bad behavior has dropped by 75% over the course of the last three years. The FAA got a little over 1,450 reports since January. That's more in line with the numbers it saw before the pandemic. During the same time frame in 2021, it received more than 6,000.

The report has three reasons why we're on our best behavior again.
No mask mandates, more seasoned people are traveling again and they know the rules, and flights are serving alcohol again.

When you couldn't drink on a flight, some people just got blasted at the terminal and got onto the flight drunk and ready for a fight.
