Plane passenger's hilarious way of getting a nap on a Ryanair flight - Would you try it?

Budget airlines might be lesser known for plush seats and extra legroom on their fleet - but one plane passenger has raised eyebrows online after demonstrating his unique way of travelling in comfort.

A video shared to TikTok by @vsimpadel in April shows the unidentified passenger snoozing onboard a Ryanair flight in a hilariously unusual position - sparking a heated debate among viewers.

Many hailed the passenger's alternative choice of seating 'genius,' while others condemned him over the 'dangerous' move.

The clip appears to have been recorded by a fellow flyer, who panned the camera to show a seemingly empty seat in front of them on the aircraft.

However, upon closer inspection, a male passenger can be seen sprawled on his back in a chair-like position on the floor, with his feet and lower legs balanced in a perfect 90-degree angle on the seat.

In the footage, the man's face is nowhere to be seen as he'd burrowed it comfortably under the seat in front of him.

A caption accompanying the video reads: 'This can happen only if you fly with Ryanair..... He was like this during a three hour flight.'

In the comments, over 1000 viewers shared their thoughts, with many in favour of the man's method, while others expressed concerns over safety.

One person wrote, 'I think this is actually genius,' while another said, 'I’m not going to lie. It’s actually not a bad idea...'

A third chimed: 'This is a marine sleep you will feel extremely well rested and fall asleep a lot quicker then sitting up.'

Another viewer said: 'Back in the 90s for long haul flights (>10 hours) people used to lie on the floor all over the place including the aisles.'

One person joked, 'Ryanair is gonna find a way to charge you extra for this,' while another remarked, 'Been working too many years on Ryanair and never seen such thing.'

However, the idea of sitting on an aircraft floor left many viewers feeling uneasy, as one commentated: 'On the back of his head is the place of thousands of toilet shoe bottoms.'

Another wrote: 'Things that will never happen: me voluntarily touching an airplane floor with any skin.'

Finally, one commenter observed: 'I'm surprised they crew didn't tell him to sit up for safety.'

It comes after a flight attendant revealed the weirdest things passengers do on planes.

Cher, from Dallas, Texas, took to TikTok to tell her 19,600 followers about some of the strangest things that she has observed during her shifts.

The member of cabin crew, who has more than five years of experience, divulged various odd experiences including stolen food, going barefoot in the bathrooms and passengers fixing their own drinks.

And her clip was soon flooded with comments as keen travelers shared their own thoughts on the insight.

In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 238,000 times, Cher wasted little time in launching into her revelations.

'First up is intentionally taking selfies with me in the background,' she began.

'Not just that I happen to be in it, they'll literally take their phone and have me doing my job over their shoulder.
