Celebrity couple's disappointment after booking what they thought were the 'best seats' on the plane
Whether you pre-book your airplane seats in advance or just take whatever's given to you at check-in, it's pretty easy to determine what your seat will be like.
But, as one celeb couple recently learned, that's not always the case.
Despite booking seats 1A and 1B, after boarding, they quickly realised they'd made a mistake.

Football player Sergio Carrallo and his wife Caroline Stanbury, who stars on the Real Housewives of Dubai shared their plane mishap on TikTok in a hilarious video that has since gone viral.
In text on the screen, Carrallo says that his assistant had booked them seats 1A and 1B, thinking they'd be "the best on the plane".
However, instead of being in the first row of business class - like on a regular plane - the couple were seated with their backs against the bulkhead, meaning reclining was impossible.
"We got the best seats in the plane," the Real Madrid star laughs in the video. "Nothing goes back."
To make things even worse, their seats were facing the rest of the cabin, just like the seats which cabin crew sit in for take-off.

In the video, he panned the camera around to show the awkward set-up, with the rest of the rows of seats facing straight at them.
"There's my absolute worst nightmare and then there's this," one commenter wrote on TikTok, while another quipped: "I would rather walk to my destination."
"Why do those seats even exist?!" another asked, to which Carrallo replied, "Tell me about it."
Another said that it looked almost like the couple were leading a business conference at 30,000 feet.

According to The Points Guy, these seats aren't that uncommon, and are installed by airlines to maximise the available space in business cabins.
Last year, a viral TikTok showed a European flight where passengers were seated face-to-face, so close that their knees almost touched.
