Passenger on a flight shoves bare feet on another person’s armrest

A passenger was outraged during a recent flight after making an appalling discovery mid-air.

Airline hygiene: The filthiest spots on your flight

A passenger was left horrified after another flyer shoved their bare feet onto their seat’s armrest during a flight.

A video caught the moment the feet were seen resting on the armrest during the flight.

The traveller was flying from Melbourne to Adelaide when the incident occurred.

In the video, originally posted by Instagram user Layla Vandenberg, a person looks at the camera in horror, The Sun reports.

They then zoom in on the bare feet poking through from the seat behind and rest on the armrest.

However, the passenger then appears to notice they are being filmed and quickly whips their feet back.

Opinions were divided, although most people agreed it was pretty disgusting.

One person said: “Your worst nightmare.”

Another agreed, saying: “Oh hell no.”

A third wrote: “Emergency exit right now.”

Not everyone thought it was bad – someone said: “They’re cute little toes.”

Passengers with bare feet are not a rare occurrence on planes.

In 2019, a passenger was snapped with her bare feet sitting on a fellow traveller’s headrest while she slept.

In 2020, a flyer sparked outrage after they used another traveller’s armrest to prop up their bare feet.

Experts have also warned travellers to never be barefoot on a plane.

Podiatrist Ebonie Vincent said that being barefoot leaves travellers exposed to bad bacteria.
