'Splitting Up Couples'
Meanwhile, another European airline, Ryanair, also took a hilarious dig at the Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal by highlighting its notorious policy of randomly seating passengers, often separating couples unless they pay extra.
In a post on X, Ryanair shared a video of the controversy and said, 'Ryanair🤝Coldplay. Splitting up couples," symbolising breakups. Social media users who were unaware of Ryanair's policy were shocked by the discovery, while those who knew were left amused.
