They thought they were the best seats on the plane, but when they saw them they had a surprise: “Nightmare!”

Air travel is an inexhaustible source of anecdotes. There are those who travel first class without paying, those who witness ferocious aerial combat or those who, as in the case of the protagonists of our story, they have huge disappointments.

In the last few hours, a video has gone viral on X showing the disappointment of two passengers when they sat in what – according to their assistant – were supposedly the best seats on the plane.

“When your assistant booked seats 1A and 1B and you thought they were the best seats on the plane“wrote the user who shared the video.

The images make it clear that not only are “1A” and “1B” not the best seats on the plane, they are probably one of the worst: they have all the passengers in the front and a cabin on the side. Privacy, zero.

What they say online

In X, where the video shared by the account is located @PicturesFoIder It has accumulated more than 19 million views, there were all kinds of comments about it.

“Who made those seats? It’s crazy. So much maximum benefit. And now he has to watch everyone. You can’t even sleep well,” one user wrote.

Along the same lines as the previous one, another exclaimed: “Surprises fly high when you get the ‘best seats’ on this flight. Nightmare!”

Another, for example, tried to find an explanation for the strange seating arrangement: “These seats were converted from folding seats originally for flight attendants. Since cabin service and crew have been reduced to a minimum, there is no longer a need for fold-down seats.”

The clip had, in addition to millions of impressions, 4 thousand retweets and more than 78 thousand likes.

The “vibration” of terror

Another plane story has gone viral in the last few days (although this one is scarier than the last). A United flight en route from San Francisco to Boston (USA) had to be diverted because the plane was literally missing disintegrating a wing. The video recorded by a passenger went viral on social networks.

The Boeing 757-200 carrying 165 passengers had to make an emergency landing in Denver due to a slat problem on one of its wings.

Fortunately for everyone, the plane landed without problems and the passengers were loaded onto another aircraft to continue their journey.

The story came to light through a video shared by a named passenger Kevin Clarke, who told CBS that he noticed the breakage when he noticed the plane starting to shake. “I felt a vibration that I had never felt before,” he said.

Clarke said it was the pilot who, after confirming what was happening to the wing, announced he would divert the plane to Denver for an emergency landing.
