While some people might find excitement in the idea of getting intimate on a plane, airplanes aren’t exactly known as the most romantic spots. Most of the time, when you’re flying, you’re tired from the journey, squeezed into a small seat, and dealing with all sorts of smells. It’s not exactly the perfect setting for romance.
A passenger on a plane was surprised to see two people getting very close during the flight. They spent most of the time cuddling across multiple seats without any shoes on. The shocked traveler, known as Flea, shared his experience online, posting pictures of the couple. Their feet were sticking out into the aisle and tangled up together like spoons.
The traveler from New York’s story got people talking about how people behave on planes. This happened shortly after one passenger angered others by putting their feet on another passenger’s seat, and another admitted to wearing their seatbelt around their ankles.
Flea, who shared the photos on X, showed his followers what he saw from his seat, just a row behind and across from the couple.
“Can’t believe my view on the plane. It was like this the whole four-hour flight,” the user captioned.
In one of the three photos, the couple is seen lying across a row of three seats. The woman has her legs wrapped around her partner’s, and her bare foot rests on the tray table in front of her. Another photo shows the couple making a heart shape with their hands, holding it up above their heads while cuddling.
In a third picture, the man has one foot down on the floor while the woman leans on him, partly holding onto the headrest of the seat in front to stay steady.
The post has gathered over 21 million views, with many X users expressing their surprise alongside Flea. Many people chimed in, sharing their dismay at seeing the couple lounging with their bare feet sprawled across the seats.
“How did the flight attendant not say anything?” one shocked viewer asked.
“Why is everyone barefoot? This is rude, disgusting, filthy, unsanitary, unsafe, and a few other words I will refrain from saying,” a second wrote.
“Barefoot on a plane is nasty work,” added another.
“I hated these types of couples in high school, all in the hall slowing you down,” another user commented.
While many agreed that the couple should have worn socks, some X users confessed to feeling envious of their intimate bond.
“They locked in their own world and don’t give a f**k about yall,” someone said.
Meanwhile, someone else wrote, “I want whatever they have.”
