A video has taken social media by storm, showing a passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight taking matters into her own hands.
Fellow travellers recorded the unidentified woman as she climbed into the overhead cabin to store her luggage, leaving many in disbelief.
The clip, which has garnered 51 million views on TikTok, shows the woman casually making herself home in the cabin, amusing her fellow passengers.
Her reasoning remains unclear. However, social media users have quickly offered theories, ranging from a desire to avoid bothering others to a clever ploy to get extra legroom.
As one user quipped, “I guess this happens when someone takes your seat, and you don’t want to make a fuss!” Another joked, “I’m just wondering how she got up there in the first place!”
The lighthearted incident has brought humour to the often stressful world of air travel. It reminds us that creativity and humour can go a long way, even in unexpected moments.
