A lawyer has weighed in after a video went viral of two plane passengers in heated debated over a reclined seat.

Another day, another plane argument, but this time it's not Tiffany Gomas having a profanity-filled outburst, but another woman unleashing her fury on a passenger sat behind her.

A video which has been widespread on social media shows a woman unleashing her fury on a passenger who kept 'push[ing]' her reclined seat 'back', and it's led to a heated debate online.

Thankfully, a lawyer has now come to the rescue to outline the proper plane etiquette when it comes to reclining your seat on a plane.

In the clip - which has been widespread on both TikTok and X, formerly Twitter - a woman can be seen turned around in her seat, addressing the passengers behind her.

She says: "The whole trip she pushed my seat."

Despite one of the passengers holding their hands up in the air, she continues: "No, you've seen it, no she did."

The woman argues: "I'm allowed to put my seat back. I'm allowed to put my seat back."

The woman argued she has a right to put her seat back.

The video sparked an intense debate between social media users over whether you should or shouldn't recline your seat on a plane.

One user wrote: "They should NOT allow people to put their seat back IMO. It's just ridiculous how little space one has on a plane to begin with, to have even less of that is SILLY."

"I do not recline because it undoubtedly intrudes on the other person's space. Being on a plane primarily sucks, a little consideration goes a long way," another added.

However, a third argued: "I agree with her! You’re allowed to put your seat back!"

And a fourth tried to compromise: "If the person behind you is small lean it back, if they are big, don’t they are already uncomfortable enough. But people only think of themselves, a little bit of kindness and consideration goes a long way."

Lawyer and political commentator based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Ian Corzine has since weighed in on the matter, taking to TikTok to respond to the clip.

Corzine says: "Isn't it in the first amendment that you have a right to recline?

"No, actually that's in airplane rules and if you're sitting behind and have a problem with it then ask an attendant to reseat, otherwise, shut the hell up."

Well, that's that I guess. Recline away passengers.
