In tip number two on the list, he said: ‘Embark on group one, regardless of your group. 99 percent of the time they don’t say anything. Worst case scenario, they tell you to wait and then you’re the first when they call your real group.
While Dickie shared several tips as part of his post, it was this tip that sparked a lot of debate on Reddit and LinkedIn.
Some people flooded the LinkedIn comments section and praised him for his advice, adding that they do the same.

“You know none of these people keep their grocery shopping carts in the parking lot,” someone else said.
“Those people deserve to fly Spirit,” another person added.

In the past, passengers have debated changing seats.
However, the confessions caused a furor and many people online criticized the traveler.
Just a month ago, a frequent flyer issued a public service announcement to his fellow travelers about swapping seats after finding himself in a nightmarish experience in which he was forced to move five times when he reluctantly gave up his spot. to another passenger.
The unknown man took to Reddit to tell his seat-swapping story that “permanently changed his mind about being nice and swapping seats with someone.”
It reignited heated conversation about travel etiquette after a frequent flyer was applauded for refusing to change seats so a woman could sit by the window.
He shared his experience in a thread dedicated to ‘Delta Airlines‘ – adding that the disastrous incident took place eight years ago while he was on a flight from New York City to Utah.
Another frequent flyer previously revealed he refused to swap his window seat with an “entitled” passenger who wanted to sit next to his wife.
The anonymous woman took to Reddit to share how she refused to move to the middle seat during an 11-hour flight from New York to Cairo, Egypt, so the man sitting next to her could sit next to his wife.
The anonymous woman shared her story on the social media platform as a way to rant about the man in a thread titled: ‘TitledPeople,’ leading others online to criticize the man for asking someone else to move to a lower quality seat so he could be happy.
The denial comes months after a man sparked furious debate when he refused to give up his first-class seat to his boss, despite using his own credit card points to do so.
In the past, DailyMail.com’s Jaci Stephen has even offered her point of view, confessing that she “absolutely refuses” to change seats, no matter how angry the passenger requesting the change may be.
