"Absolutely insane": Dad's plane act goes viral

A man has gone viral on TikTok after his daughter posted a video of him sleeping on the airplane floor during a long-haul flight. 

"More room for everybody," she captioned the video of her dad lying down wedged between two rows where their feet would normally go. 

In the video she also added an overlay text which said: "you have ur airport dad I have my Asian dad." 

The video has since racked up over 12.4 million views, and while most were impressed by the "hack" others were appalled. 

"This is so smart – never thought of that," one person wrote. 

"Smart but I'd lay a blanket down underneath. Thank you airport dad I will steal this idea," added another. 

"I been alive 25 years, ain't never seen this move before," commented a third. 

"They do [allow it] on long flights. As long as nobody complains then they don't bother you," added a fourth. 

A few others were shocked and pointed out that airplane floors aren't exactly clean. 

"As a past flight attendant, you don't want to know what I have seen on those carpets," wrote one person. 

"When I was taking my flight attendant course one thing they said to us over and over was to never walk barefoot on the aircraft... nevertheless lay down," added another. 

"Man made his own trundle bed," joked a third. 

While another eagle-eyed commenter was shocked that he would voluntarily wear jeans for 15-hours, "jeans for 15 hours is absolutely insane," they wrote.
