'Don't just let your leg hang out in the aisle': Passenger advocate applauds viral video from WestJet flightA video taken on a WestJet flight leaving Edmonton has passengers decrying the shrinking size of airplane seats, but a passenger rights advocate says that aside from a change in the law there’s little travellers can do except fight back. The video was posted to social media on Dec. 27 and has been seen more than a million times on TikTok and elsewhere. In it, a couple can be seen wedged into their seats, the man’s legs disappearing unnaturally under the seat in front of him. If you don’t fit in the seat then the seat is too small.”If you can’t fit, he said, you should tell the airline: “I can’t sit down here. “Don’t just let your leg hang out in the aisle.”As to the video’s caption, thanking the flight attendant, that also makes sense to Lukacs.
