A TikTok video has again sparked the reclined seat debate after a viral moment showed one man’s reclined airplane seat angling over the tray behind him during mealtime.
Henry and Mike Budrewicz of Boston shared the nine-second clip to their joint TikTok account – The Pointer Brothers – which has a following of 1.4 million.
Set to a sped-up song cover of the band Echosmith’s hit debut single “Cool Kids,” the video appears to show the plane’s not-so-roomy seat row.

“5 hour flight home… is this the most reclined seat in the history of aviation,” The Pointer Brothers wrote in the on-screen text.
In a panning shot from the aisle seat, one of the Budrewicz brothers can be seen looking straight ahead and slightly leaning forward while his packaged meal remains untouched and the passenger in front of him appears to be relaxed.

TikTok users expressed their thoughts on reclined plane seats in the comment section of the viral video.
People seemed to be divided on whether passengers should or shouldn’t recline.
“People who recline their seats in economy are the bane of my existence,” one user wrote.
“Why is the passenger at fault for using a feature the airline created??” another user questioned.
“Out of respect for the person behind me, I never recline,” a different user commented.

About 31.33% – 81 million American adults – think fully reclining is rude but still do it and about 3.46% – nearly nine million American adults – think fully reclining is rude and they recline without warning the passenger behind them, according to The Vacationer’s survey.
Approximately 27.87% of American adults say they “politely ask” the passenger behind them if it’s OK before they recline their seat, the survey claims.

Last month, Jacqueline Whitmore, an etiquette expert based in Florida and a former flight attendant, spoke with Fox News Digital on the issue of reclined seats.
“Most airplane seats were designed to recline to offer more comfort to passengers, especially on long flights,” Whitmore said, “So travelers have the right to recline their seats.”
Whitmore added that there are considerations. She also offered five tips for those who are preparing to recline an airplane seat. Read those tips here.
