Traveller reveals 'flirtatious' trick to keep row free on Southwest flights

A TikTok user has gone viral after sharing their hack for keeping a row of seats to themselves on a Southwest Airlines flight, but involves a bit of flirting.

As fellow passengers walked through the plane’s aisle looking for empty seats, the man in the aisle seat nodded to a passerby – somewhat flirtatiously – and asked if he wanted to sit in between them. He politely declined, but Heather and her flight partner couldn’t help but burst into laughter that their Southwest seating hack seemed to work.

“We were told it’s a full flight. Doing our best to keep that seat open,” they captioned the post.
