Passengers baffled as couple get intimate while lying down across a row of seats barefoot during flight
Flea, who creates content and lives in New York, was shocked and frustrated during a four-hour flight.
The couple next to Flea kept embracing each other in a spooning position the entire time.
Flea shared pictures on social media that showed the couple's bare feet sticking out into the aisle while their legs were tangled together intimately.
On the post, she wrote: "I was absolutely amazed by the view from my plane seat. It remained unchanged throughout the entire four-hour flight."
Flea's photos show the couple lying across three seats on the plane.
The woman has her legs wrapped around her partner, and her bare foot rests on the tray table. In another picture, they make a heart shape with their hands above their heads while cuddling.
The third photo shows the man with one foot on the floor, and the woman partly resting on him, holding onto the seat in front.
These pictures reveal the couple's intimate actions and lack of consideration for other passengers, causing surprise and discomfort among those who saw them.
Viewers shared divided opinions about the couple's behavior in public area
Within just a few hours after the photos were posted, thousands of viewers left comments under the post and debated the young couple's behavior.
Many people were surprised and uncomfortable when they saw the pictures and wondered why the flight attendants didn't do anything about it.
The fact that the couple was barefoot during the flight also bothered people, as it was seen as unhygienic and inappropriate.
However, some viewers also defended this couple as they paid full of money for the whole row to themselves, so they could do anything they wanted.
I don’t see a problem with it if they had the whole row to themselves. It’s nice to see a loving couple for a change. I’d make the most of it too if I had a whole row, one user said.
I would so much rather have everyone canoodling and spooning rather than have a baby or toddler screaming and throwing a fit the entire flight! The second commented.
Where were flight attendants? Why did they not intervene? The third asked.
What bothers me even more is the fact that they were barefoot during the flight, another wrote.
This is not the first time such incidents have sparked discussions about how to behave on airplanes.
Recently, there was a lot of controversy when a frequent traveler shared a risky travel hack. She wore her seatbelt around her ankles to try and sit more comfortably on the flight.
This unconventional method caused an uproar among people, who were concerned about safety and proper airplane etiquette.
In another case, a frequent traveler shared a warning to other passengers about changing seats.
He had a bad experience where he had to move five times because he gave up his seat to someone else. This incident made him change his mind about being nice and swapping seats.
In another situation, a different traveler refused to switch her window seat on an 11-hour flight so that a man could sit next to his wife.
