A furious shouting match erupted between two passengers on a plane after a man fully reclined his seat – much to the annoyance of the woman sitting behind him.
The meltdown occurred on a four-hour flight from Singapore to Hong Kong on February 1.
In the footage, filmed by a fellow passenger, a man can be seen yelling and gesturing at a female passenger sat behind him.
He continues pointing his finger at the passenger, saying: ‘Can I adjust my seat or not, is it in the rule? Shut your Goddamn mouth.’
Meanwhile, shocked air travellers watch on from their seats while a member of the cabin crew does not interrupt the altercation and instead manoeuvres past the warring pair.
The man continues to ask the woman if he is allowed to adjust his seat before accusing the woman of shouting at his child in an expletive-laden sentence.
He said: ‘When you shouted at my kid, I didn’t respond, but you said I adjust, the seat, is not possible, it’s your f***ing problem.’
The heated exchange then abruptly ends as the man seemingly gives up, puts his headphones on and sits down.

However a member of his party, who is apparently not ready to end the war of words, can be heard continuing to argue with the woman.
The disagreement started when the female passenger is said to have asked him to sit upright – sparking angry scenes on flight CX690.
The cabin crew were seemingly frozen by the bizarre scene and did not intervene to calm the passenger.
According to the filmer filmer the man’s two-year-old daughter was also affecting other passengers because she was running up and down the aisle.
Economy seats on the twin-aisle Airbus A350 operated by Cathay Pacific are arranged in a three-three-three configuration. The plane has 214 seats in the class.
