A cabin crew member has revealed a “secret button” hidden in the armrest of airplane seats — a feature many passengers, especially those seated on the aisle, are unaware of. While air travel is known for its comfort and convenience, this little-known button can make the journey even more pleasant. For first-time flyers, knowing about such features can significantly improve the travel experience.
What Is This ‘Secret Button’?
This small but useful button is usually located under or on the side of the armrest of the aisle seat. Fly Arna — the national airline of Armenia and a popular low-cost carrier — shared a video on their TikTok account where a cabin crew member demonstrates this button along with other useful features. The video has been viewed more than 1 lakh times so far, sparking excitement among many curious passengers about this ‘secret button’.
What Is The Benefit Of The Armrest Button?
The video demonstrates that passengers seated in the aisle seat may find it difficult to get up or move because of those sitting in front or beside them. Pressing this button raises the armrest, creating more space at the edge of the seat, allowing easier access for the passenger or their neighbor to get in and out. This feature is particularly useful for those who need to move frequently or wish to let others pass during the flight.
Among all the seat features, the ‘secret button’ stands out as the most useful and attention-grabbing for passengers—especially those in aisle seats. Knowing about this might make many think twice before choosing their seat.
