A male passenger was surprised when the flight attendant announced that "no one is allowed to use both armrests when sitting on the plane", because he always thought that the middle seat would have this privilege.

The announcement came from a flight attendant from an American airline. "The flight attendant made it clear that no one is allowed to put their hands on the arms of the seat," said a male traveler nicknamed Littleike.

In addition, flight attendants also instruct passengers on how to place their arms on the seat more specifically: always use the right armrest for the right row of seats on the plane. Passengers sitting on the left row will use the left armrest because the armrest in the middle of the aisle needs to be clear so as not to disturb passengers, flight attendants moving on the aisle, when using trolleys to serve food and drinks.

The flight attendant said that "we will handle any disputes over armrests." "I feel sorry for the people in the middle seats because they cannot put their arms on the armrests," the man said after hearing the announcement from the flight attendant.

The male traveler's post quickly attracted hundreds of comments because the topic of using the armrests of airplane seats is always of interest to passengers. According to social etiquette experts and frequent flyers, people often have an unspoken rule on the plane. People sitting next to the window have the advantage of leaning their heads against the plane wall to sleep, while people sitting outside have the advantage of having more legroom because they are next to the aisle. People sitting in the middle seat have the most cramped space, so they often have the privilege of placing both arms on the two arms of the seat. Many people agree with this way of dividing space on the plane.

However, many people agree with the way flight attendants divide up the armrests. "I agree, it's annoying to have to walk past people who put their hands on the armrests next to the aisle and lean into the space in the middle of the plane," said one passenger.

Mary, a flight attendant for a major airline in the US, said she often sees passengers sitting in the outermost and window seats placing both arms on the arms of the seat, leaving no room for the person sitting in the middle to rest their arms.

In a survey of British airlines, nearly 30% of passengers said that having their armrests taken over by others was the most annoying thing. However, there is no official global rule on the use of armrests on planes. Each airline has its own rules.
