Social media users were quick to express their displeasure. A significant number of comments slammed the influencers for their lack of respect and common sense. One user pointed out, “This is unacceptable. Planes are public spaces, not a stage for stunts.” Another added, “Imagine travelling with people who think this is cool behaviour—utterly ridiculous.”

Many viewers sympathised with the affected passengers. One comment read, “Look at the poor passengers—they just wanted a peaceful flight!” Another remarked, “Why do influencers feel entitled to disrupt everyone’s space for clout?” Some even questioned the airline’s lack of intervention, with a user stating, “Why wasn’t this stopped by the crew? This should have been reported immediately.”

Amid the backlash, a few users sarcastically commented on the influencer culture, with one saying, “Anything for likes and views, right?”
