The experience of flying an airplane can be quite frustrating when you don't have access to an exclusive seat. That's because the passengers next door can be uncomfortable, in addition to there being less space in the economy area. In this regard, a TikToker shared the 'poor first class' trick, which has gone viral on the internet in recent days.

The idea is that it is possible to have more space on the plane, even if you are in economy class. For this, influencer @NDAInternet shows that it is possible to circumvent the rules of commercial flights through a very simple trick. According to him, you can be alone in a row of three seats in economy class, even paying only one.

The secret is to buy three seats in the same row bearing in mind the fully refundable ticket guarantee that some companies offer. So go to the airport counter and return the two extra tickets just forty minutes before the plane departs.
As a result, you will be able to enjoy an experience with much more comfort and space on an airplane, even if you only pay for one seat. Despite seeming like the perfect trick, it didn't take long for users to start pointing out the flaws in the plan. Still, the video got more than 100k views on TikTok.
What can go wrong?
For starters, it's very difficult for you to get a full refund, as airlines always stipulate a minimum fee for cancellations. So yes, you could have a slightly cheaper first-class experience, but not at the usual price of an armchair. Also, you have to take into account overbooking.
After all, it is very common for airlines to sell more tickets than the limit number, considering cancellations, so seats could easily be filled. In addition, users also stated that it is very common for people traveling separately to take advantage of empty spaces like these to sit together.
