Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to the relatable desire for more space and comfort during travel, combined with the universally appealing subject of a cute dog. The humor and the successful 'hack' of occupying an empty row created a shareable and engaging narrative.

Summary

A person and their dog, Lex, move to an empty row of seats on an airplane as the flight crew closes the doors. They successfully occupy the empty row for the entire flight without being questioned, making the travel experience easier.
