"I’m sorry, but no": Passenger on 12-hour flight stops woman from reclining

A passenger on a 12-hour flight from Paris to Los Angeles went to great lengths to stop the woman in front of her from reclining her seat. 

The footage captured on August 13 shows a woman in a black jumper stretching her arms out in attempt to prevent the passenger in front of her from reclining, reported The Sun

The chair jolts as the passenger in front kept trying to move back the seat, but the woman behind her was persistent, and used all of her strength to push the seat forward and keep it in an upright position. 

The traveller seemed to give up trying to recline her seat, but the woman behind her continued to place her hands on the seat. 

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but no,” she says as she continued her attempts.

As tension rose between the two passengers, the woman in front gets fed up and asked if she could talk to someone, before confronting the traveller behind her. 

“Just let me know, what’s going on?,” she asked.

“I said respectfully, can you please stop moving it back?" the woman behind her responded. 

“Respect the person behind you,” as the person in front explained that she is trying to recline her seat so she can sleep. 

The woman behind continued to tell her to “respect the person behind you” as she tried to watch a movie on her laptop. 

The confrontation seemed to work as the seat in front came to a standstill.
