Their legs were extended and raised in the air, while their feet rested on the headboard of the passenger in front of them.

Social media users were divided over the act, with some condemning the passenger.

“Disgusting attitude, shoes on the furniture,” one person wrote.

“The cabin crew really need to tell those sloppy people to turn it off,” a second added.

Some defended the woman and suggested she may have been suffering from a medical condition.

“Some people suffer from swollen legs, maybe they are trying to avoid risks,” one person wrote.

Another said they didn't see the problem and that the passenger had the right to sit as he pleased.

“As long as they're not in my face I don't care,” they wrote.

One of them even pointed at the passenger who took the photo.

“Judging other people who don't bother you isn't stylish either,” they argued.

'She looks comfortable. She doesn't bother anyone. So who cares? The only thing not classy here is you invading her privacy.”
