If you’ve scrolled through your news feed lately, you’d be forgiven for thinking that every commercial flight is a battleground of reclined seats, bare feet, and screaming matches. But a trending video on Reddit is reminding the internet that sometimes, the person sitting across the aisle is just a friend you haven’t shared a sheet mask with yet.
Two women started a “spa day” mid-flight—and the internet is obsessed with how their seatmates reacted

The video, titled “Sharing is caring,” was posted to the subreddit r/justgalsbeingchicks and has quickly captured the hearts of weary travelers everywhere.
The mid-air spa treatment
The clip begins with two women seated in an airplane row, already deep into their in-flight self-care routine. Both are wearing white sheet masks—a hydrating skincare staple that can look a little startling to the uninitiated.
As they film themselves, the camera pans to the row across the aisle, where two male passengers are watching the “spa day” unfold with amused curiosity. In most travel stories, this is where the conflict starts. Instead, the women do something unexpected: they offer the men their own masks.
“If you do it, I’ll do it”
The video captures the brief negotiation—one comment on the thread highlights the classic peer-pressure moment of “do it, if you do it”—before cutting to the payoff. The final shot reveals a completely transformed cabin row: the two women and the two men are all wearing matching sheet masks, sitting in silence and solidarity as they hydrate their pores at 30,000 feet.
Why the internet loves it
The comment section on Reddit exploded with praise for the wholesome interaction, noting how rare it is to see strangers letting their guard down in public spaces.
In an era where “airplane etiquette” usually means ignoring everyone around you, this interaction breaks the script. Commenters loved how quickly the men accepted the offer, proving that everyone—regardless of demographic—secretly wants to be pampered on a long flight. It’s a brief, funny reminder that while we often dread the other passengers on board, sometimes they are the best part of the trip. So next time you pack your carry-on, maybe throw in a few extra masks—you might just make a friend.
