She filmed part of the altercation which took place on the flight. In the clip, she was sat down with her table having some of the in-flight meals and a drink. But she claims she was rudely interrupted by the passenger in front who decided to recline their chair. Advertisement Simone told the other flyer: "This is an airplane. Please let me know where you recline on the airplane." "What part of this seat can you recline on?" she asked again. Like with most economy tickets, there was little leg room for anyone and Simone was not happy with the woman reclining into her already cramped space. In the comments, Simone claimed the passenger was also 'pushing hard and further into my leg.' Advertisement "She basically wants to sit in my lap," she captioned the post. The video posted to her TikTok account @msimonexo went viral with over 285k views and 4,900 likes. The deeply selfish holiday trend sweeping Europe's beaches this summer – and it's WORSE than sunbed hogging Plenty of people were quick to weigh in on the situation. Many branded the reclining passenger as 'selfish' while others said Simone should upgrade her ticket if she wants extra space.

RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop. He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half." Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing. If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back. FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for. "Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else. "If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up." CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat. She added: "I'm not a talker. Plane time is me time." Meanwhile a fourth said: "Anyone that reclines is selfish."

Find out when the offer runs AIR WE GO Kids fly FREE on airline jetting out of Scotland – just in time for the school summer holidays Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN airline based in Scotland has announced an incredible 'kids fly free' campaign for families planning their summer holidays. Loganair, the UK's leading regional airline, has announced the launch of its Kids Fly Fare-FREE campaign to coincide with the unveiling of two new seasonal routes for Summer 2025, offering added value for families planning travel in the months ahead. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Loganair has launched the 'Kids Fly Fare-FREE' campaign Credit: The Sun 3 One of the stunning beaches in Guernsey 3 Fistral Bay in Newquay The initiative, which runs from Thursday, May 15 to Sunday, May 25, allows children aged 11 and under to travel without paying an airfare when accompanied by a fare-paying adult, with only taxes and surcharges applying. The offer is valid for bookings made on Loganair's routes during the promotional period for travel from 1 June 2025 onwards. The campaign supports the introduction of new direct Saturday services between Edinburgh and Guernsey, launching 24 May, and Glasgow and Newquay, launching 31 May – both designed to connect travellers with some of the UK's most popular coastal destinations. The Edinburgh to Guernsey route will operate weekly on Saturdays until 13 September, departing at 16:10 and arriving in Guernsey at 18:10. Return flights will leave at 18:40 and land in Edinburgh at 20:45. This new connection opens up the Channel Islands' unique blend of stunning coastlines, rich heritage and renowned hospitality to Scottish travellers, while also giving Guernsey-based passengers direct access to Edinburgh and onward links across Loganair's domestic network. Meanwhile, the Glasgow to Newquay service offers a direct route to Cornwall's coastline, with flights running every Saturday throughout the summer season. Fares start from £89.99, including a combined 21kg luggage allowance across cabin and hold bags. Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Officer at Loganair, said: 'With summer travel on the horizon, we're pleased to be launching two new routes and a campaign that offers something extra for families planning their next trip. 'Our Kids Fly Fare-FREE initiative supports the return of our seasonal services to Guernsey and Newquay, and we look forward to welcoming more customers on board as they explore everything these fantastic destinations have to offer.' Global Airlines Take-Off Earlier this year, Loganair was ranked second in Which?'s annual customer survey of short-haul airlines, achieving a 72% customer score. The airline received a five-star rating for customer service and four stars for booking, boarding, and cleanliness. The fare-free offer for children applies to selected Loganair routes and is available exclusively via the airline's website.
