An airline passenger and her companion attempted to reserve what they believed to be the top seats on the flight, but their strategy ended up failing disastrously.
Jess Smith, a popular TikToker, and her companion were on a trip overseas when they decided to splurge on an upgrade for their flight.
In order to secure more legroom, be among the first to exit the plane, receive refreshments before others, and be seated furthest from the bathroom, the pair specifically reserved row one on the aircraft.
After taking their seats, they immediately regretted their choice upon realizing that their seats were facing the wrong direction.
“Jess said that booking row1 was supposed to be a treat, but it ended up with her facing the entire plane.”
Throughout the entire flight, it was revealed that they had been seated in a position that allowed them to face the other passengers on the plane.
“She captioned her TikTok with the words “Never going to [recover],”and the video has already received over 12 million views.”

Those who watched her video found it extremely amusing how her choice ended up having the opposite effect. Many commented that it appeared as though she and her friend were in “timeout.”
Some individuals also concurred that they would “never be able to withstand this”and that having to face passengers for the entire duration of a flight would be their ultimate “horror.”
One audience member stated that if they were going through discomfort, they would not let anyone else escape it either. They also mentioned that they would intentionally make eye contact with the people in the row ahead to ensure they were all experiencing the same level of discomfort.
Additionally, there were playful remarks that Jess and her companion could have been mistaken for members of the flight crew and given a pre-flight safety demonstration to the passengers.
