A traveler’s decision to recline her seat during a recent flight turned into a viral confrontation after the passenger behind her reacted aggressively.

A woman documented what she called the "worst plane ride" — sharing a video of herself as her seat was repeatedly shoved forward after she reclined it.

The clip on TikTok shows the seat jerking abruptly, apparently from forceful pushes by the person seated behind her.

In the comments section, the traveler said the behavior continued throughout the flight and that she sought assistance from flight attendants.

Some who commented said the aggressive response seen in the clip went too far.

"I’m an airline pilot and this is not acceptable," one user wrote, urging the passenger to notify cabin crew.

Others sided with the passenger in the back.

"I have no sympathy for people that recline their seats," one person said, echoing a common frustration among travelers.

Another person added, "If I paid for the seat, then I’m gonna get the full experience" — suggesting that passengers are entitled to use their seats as designed.

Florida-based etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore, a former flight attendant, told Fox News Digital that reclining is permitted but should be done thoughtfully.

"Every passenger has the right to recline," she said. But she advised travelers to check behind them before adjusting their seats.

"Always glance back before you recline to ensure you don’t hit someone’s knees or damage their laptop," she said.

Whitmore also recommended reclining gradually instead of suddenly.

"Recline slowly instead of abruptly," she told Fox News Digital.

She added that seats should be returned upright during meals and for takeoff and landing.

Not all seats are designed to recline, particularly those near exit rows. 

If a passenger’s seat does not recline and the person wishes to move locations, Whitmore suggested speaking with a flight attendant about available options.

"Just because the seat reclines does not mean it should be used without consideration," she said. 

"A little awareness of the person behind you goes a long way in making the flight more pleasant for everyone."

A Georgia judge denied Jose Ibarra’s motion for a new trial following his conviction in the killing of nursing student Laken Riley.

Lawyers for Ibarra argued his constitutional rights were violated when the judge declined two defense motions before trial. One was a request to delay the trial to give an expert witness time to review and analyze DNA data. The other would have excluded some cellphone evidence. 

"As the only evidence admitted at trial derived exclusively from the cellphone was the Rubin location data, and that data is cumulative of the timing advance records provided directly from the service provider, any error in failing to suppress the cellphone is harmless," Superior Court Judge Patrick Haggard wrote, rejecting the request and leaving in place Ibarra’s sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. "Even excluding the cellphone location data, the Court finds the remaining evidence, including the DNA, fingerprint, trace, and video evidence, overwhelming and sufficient to support Defendant's conviction. Hence, any error arising from the admission of the cellphone evidence is harmless."

Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant, was found guilty of malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, aggravated assault, hindering a 911 call, tampering with evidence and peeping tom in connection with Riley’s death.

A spokesperson for Ibarra’s attorneys said they plan to file an appeal.

Ibarra, 28, had entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was allowed to stay while he pursued his immigration case under former President Joe Biden's open border.

Ibarra encountered Riley while she was running on the University of Georgia campus in Athens on Feb. 22, 2024, and killed her during a struggle. Riley was a student at Augusta University College of Nursing, which also has a campus in Athens, about 70 miles (115 kilometers) east of Atlanta.

Ibarra’s trial attorneys had asked the judge to delay the trial after a DNA expert said she would need six weeks to review evidence analyzed using TrueAllele Casework, software used to interpret DNA and assist the defense. The judge wrote in his order Monday that Ibarra’s lawyers "effectively challenged the TrueAllele DNA evidence at trial" and concluded that Ibarra was not harmed by the denial of a delay.

The DNA expert testified during a January hearing on the motion for a new trial, and the judge wrote that he did not find her opinion to be persuasive or credible and that it would not have changed the trial outcome.

Ibarra’s attorneys also had challenged the seizure of two cellphones from his apartment, saying they were not listed on the search warrant, and sought to exclude evidence pulled from them. Haggard wrote that there were "exigent circumstances authorizing the seizure of the cellphones" and that the phones were not searched until after warrants were issued authorizing the search of the contents of the phones.
