Fuming airline passenger sparks angry debate over reclining seat in huge row

An irate airline passenger has breathed new life into the debate over whether or not it’s okay to recline your seat while travelling.

In a video that has gone viral, an incandescent woman enters a screaming match with the passenger sitting behind her after the former decided to exercise her right to recline her seat.

The fellow passenger then starts “pushing her seat repeatedly” in response to the reclining.

The mid-flight exchange was initially posted on TikTok before it was swiftly taken down.

However, Ian Miles Cheong reposted it on X, formerly known as Twitter, where it blew up, gaining more than 2.7 million views as netizens locked horns over plane etiquette.

During the video, which took place on an unknown flight, an unidentified woman sees red after a fellow passenger allegedly spent the duration of the trip trying to push her seat upright.

“The whole trip she pushin’ my seat!” the aggrieved woman said to the couple sitting behind her, who put their hands up in an attempt to defend their actions.

“Both of y’all was doing the same thing,” the man tried to tell the woman — but his protestations fell on deaf ears.

Blind with rage, the woman leapt to her feet and shouted down the alleged pusher.

“No, you seen it! You know she did! I’m allowed to put my seat back! I’m allowed to put my seat back!” she shouted, pounding her chest in indignance.

“I’m allowed. To. Put. My. Seat. Back!” she finally declared before turning around as the video cut out.

As expected, the altercation has sparked a heated debate line.

“It can be annoying sometimes to be behind someone with their seat all the way, but if the airlines didn’t want to allow that, it wouldn’t happen,” wrote one man, John Hawkins, on X.

“You don’t kick the seat like a baby. Blame the airline, not the person doing what the airline says is fine.”

“I mean if she wasn’t allowed to put her seat back then why was the seat adjustable??” wrote another.

It comes after a woman was called out by another passenger for reclining her seat on a plane.

The incident similarly sparked a lively debate.
