The video showed a plane filling up with passengers who were looking for seats as they were unassigned.

Kenny, who uses the handle , panned round to show a man sat behind him in the window seat who appeared to be asleep.

He had spread his stuff out on the middle and aisle seats in their row in an attempt to stop anyone from sitting down.

The idea was that by pretending to be asleep, no one would wake the man up to ask him to move his stuff.

So by the time the flight was ready to take off, everyone would be sat down and he would have the full row to himself.

Kenny captioned the video: "When you fake sleep during boarding so you can keep the middle seat open."
