SINGAPORE: A recent incident on a Singapore Airlines flight has ignited a debate on social media about passenger etiquette. A photo capturing a business class passenger putting their feet up against the back of another seat has drawn mixed reactions on social media.

The person who snapped the photo, a clearly frustrated anonymous member on an SIA frequent flyers Facebook group, wrote online: “happening now SQ469…AARGHHHHHHHHHH”. However, not everyone was critical. A portion of the community dismissed the act as a minor offense and said it wasn’t a big deal. One commenter expressed relief that the individual was at least wearing socks, while some others criticised the post author for publicly airing the photo.Placing one’s feet behind a public seat, such as on a plane or a bus, can be considered offensive or inconsiderate for several reasons such as hygiene, comfort, and expected social etiquette.

Further, it is generally considered bad manners to place feet in areas not designed for them, such as seat backs or the space behind seats. Public transportation etiquette discourages actions that can inconvenience or discomfort other passengers.
