You thought crying babies were bad? Try watching a full-blown cuddle session mid-flight

Everyone has a preference when it comes to flying—but not everything is within your control.

You might score the perfect seat, but who ends up next to you is pure luck.

And for one unlucky woman on a four-hour flight, the company was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.


Social media user Harry Marjoram took to social media to share a travel moment that quickly divided the internet.

While seated across the aisle from his girlfriend during a Ryanair flight to Greece, he noticed she had found herself beside a particularly affectionate couple.

‘When my Slavic girlfriend, who hates PDA, meets the PDA Final Boss on a 4-hour flight to Greece, for the entire flight!!’ he wrote.

‘Nothing beats a Ryanair holiday!’

In the images shared, the girlfriend appeared visibly uncomfortable as the woman beside her perched on her partner’s lap with her legs up on the seat—facing towards her for the entire flight.

Harry ensured their faces were obscured, but that did little to dampen the reaction online.

Some social media users were quick to weigh in with support for the pair, calling it a harmless display of affection.


‘Everyone hating but I only see a couple in love,’ said one commenter.

‘I genuinely don’t see what’s wrong with this, people wanna get comfy on airplanes and as long as they’re not doing anything inappropriate I think it’s fine,’ added another.

A third wrote: ‘I always sleep on my boyfriend the whole way somewhere, and if you’ve a problem I will shove my foot up ur face. Grow up…if you could be comfy you would too.’

But the overwhelming reaction leaned in the opposite direction—with many calling the situation uncomfortable, inconsiderate, and downright gross.

‘This is so disgusting and disrespectful,’ one person commented.


Another added: ‘I like acceptable PDA (hold hands, quick kisses, hugs, like the normal stuff), but this? Yeah HELL nah.’

Some viewers took it even further, joking they’d prefer a crying baby over this scenario.

‘… and people complain about crying babies. I'd pay extra to be next to a child rather than risk this,’ one wrote.

And in a moment of irony, one user asked: ‘Where are the Karens when you need them?!’

It’s a reminder that while love might be in the air—common courtesy still needs a seat.


If you’ve ever had a flight ruined by the people around you, you’re definitely not alone.

Sometimes, it’s not about PDA—but about passengers using sneaky tricks to claim more space than they paid for.

Here’s what happened when one woman unintentionally called out a couple’s seat-switching scheme and paid the price.
