A tourist was left gobsmacked during a Ryanair flight when they witnessed a fellow passenger’s bizarre behaviour. The traveller, who shared the incident online, was astounded to allegedly see someone in front of them adopt an unconventional position for the entire three-hour journey.
The TikTok video was captioned “This can only happen if you fly with Ryanair. He was like this during the three hour flight.” It has since gone viral, leaving viewers in fits of laughter at the man’s odd way of getting comfortable.
Rather than sitting normally, the man is seen sprawled on the floor, his head tucked under the seat ahead and his legs resting atop his own chair – a sight that social media users found both hilarious and shocking.
The clip has sparked a flurry of comments from astonished people, with hundreds chiming in on the post. Some expressed amusement, while others were concerned about the safety and hygiene implications of such a stunt.
One user joked: “How did he get down there? I’d be stuck forever.” Another, claiming to be a Ryanair employee, commented: “Been working with Ryanair too many years, and I’ve never seen such a thing.”
A third remarked on the potential comfort, adding: “The way this would relieve my back pain, but send me into a germ spiral.”
However, not everyone saw the funny side, with one person pointing out the potential health risks: “Think how many people have been sick on that floor. Plus, the stewards wouldn’t allow this as soon as they spotted it.”
Another online user weighed in with the cautionary advice, adding: “If there’s a rapid decompression, it will take him too long to get his oxygen mask on.”
Top tips to stay safe while flying
When jet-setting across the globe, staying safe is paramount. Passengers are urged to buckle up and sit correctly throughout their flight, particularly when the seatbelt sign illuminates.
You’re also tasked with familiarising yourself with the nearest emergency exit, understanding your route in case of an evacuation and stowing away personal belongings responsibly – ensuring they don’t block any paths to exits.
The mystery of the floor-sitting flier remains unsolved but, rest assured, diligent cabin crew members always instruct passengers to be properly seated when safety is compromised. Ryanair doesn’t compromise on these standards and implements a firm policy for fastened seatbelts whenever necessary.
Moreover, upon touchdown, it’s vital to stay parked in your seat until the clear sign is given. With particular regulations surrounding electronic gadgets and restricted items, adherence is essential while aboard the airline.
Ryanair considers the well-being of all its travellers a top priority, guaranteeing a commitment to the protection of both guests and team members alike. In certain scenarios, passengers might even find themselves being reseated should their seat hinder access to an emergency exit.
