The traveller was flying from Melbourne to Adelaide when the incident occurred.

In the video, originally posted by Instagram user Layla Vandenberg, a person looks at the camera in horror.

They then zoom in on the bare feet poking through from the seat behind and rest on the armrest.

However, they appear to notice they are being filmed and quickly whip it back.

People were divided, although most people agreed it was pretty disgusting.

One person said: "Your worst nightmare."

Another agreed, saying: "Oh hell no".

A third wrote: "Emergency exit right now."

Not everyone thought it was bad - someone said: "They're cute little toes."

Sadly, passengers with bare feet are not a rare occurrence on planes.

In 2019, a passenger was snapped with her bare feet sitting on a fellow traveller's headrest while she slept.

In 2020, a flyer sparked outrage after they used another traveller's armrest to proper up their bare feet.

But last year, a passenger was praised for his reaction to the person behind him putting their feet on his armrest.

Experts have also warned travellers to never be barefoot on a plane.

Podiatrist Ebonie Vincent said that being barefoot leaves travellers exposed to bad bacteria.
