I think we can all agree that flying on an airplane isn’t always the most relaxing, or comfortable, method of transportation. Unless you’re lucky enough to get a first-class seat, you usually have to deal with crowding, crying babies, and below-average snacks. But at least your flight has proper seats — right?
A photo quickly went viral of a woman sitting on an EasyJet Airline flight. In it, the back of her seat is completely missing. That’s not just uncomfortable — it’s also unsafe.
After viewing the photo, EasyJet was quick to respond. But first, they tried to get the Twitter user — who goes by the name Matthew Harris on their profile — to take the photo down. That in itself seems a little suspicious.
According to People, Harris refused to take the picture down. Instead, Harris offered more of an explanation about how ridiculous the scenario was. When you book a ticket, the only thing you should expect while traveling is an actual full seat.
Even if this customer in question got a hefty discount, it’s still completely baffling to assume that someone would feel comfortable on a flight like that.

“The lady was moved to a spare seat once the flight was fully boarded. Not sure what would have happened if the flight was full,” Harris later added, according to People. “My partner took the photo.”

Here’s another interesting thing regarding the photo — nobody sitting around the person in question seemed to be all that concerned about the seat. If you saw this happen, don’t you think you’d at least ask them if they feel comfortable flying without a seat backing?

Even though airline scandals seem to be on the rise these days, you have to have faith that EasyJet wouldn’t allow any passenger to take off in an unsafe seat. Hopefully they knew the flight was nowhere near full and the passenger chose to wait in an un-designated place on their own.
