[WATCH] Viral travel hack shows how to keep plane seats next to you free!
A regular TikToker has gone viral with his method of keeping fellow passengers from sitting next to you on a plane.
It's rather creepy, but Mike Davis says it works!
From his aisle seat, Davis looks at the incoming passengers and pats the seat next to him in a welcoming way.
Apparently put off, they pass by and continue further down the aircraft.
From the video, it seems that making eye contact with the people you want to discourage is important.
