Couple ‘romanticizes' economy flight with DIY luxury hack: ‘Manifesting getting sat next to you guys on my next flight'

New York Post9 hours ago
Natalia Corso, an Emirates flight attendant, shared how she and her boyfriend turn their economy seats into a full-on 'luxury' experience — and the Internet was simultaneously jealous and irritated.
'Manifesting getting sat next to you guys on my next flight,' wrote one hopeful commenter.
In a video that's now racked up over 28 million views, the part-time content creator filmed herself conjuring up espresso martinis on her Instagram account, @nataliacorso, seemingly out of thin air.

The 28-year-old pulled a plastic shaker and two martini glasses out of her bag, and quickly got to work. Corso added a few cups of ice, vodka, coffee liqueur, irish cream liqueur, and in-flight coffee, before shaking the life out of the concoction.
'It's not that serious,' one hater said, speaking for a small, but loud group in the comment section. Others were irked at the fact that this impromptu cocktail session happened from the middle seat, while some speculated the preposterous price tag on this flight-cap had to surpass $50 — for the shots alone.

Another commenter also expressed irritation at the video: 'People can't go anywhere without drinking,' they complained.
'If I'm trying to sleep and and you're shaking a martini I'mma be pissed,' warned one grumpy passenger.
Some commenters found this in-flight ritual annoying, while others slammed the creator for bothering flight attendants with extra requests.

Though several viewers deemed the desperate DIY 'hack' illegal, Corso clarified in the comments that the alcohol pictured was 'all miniatures offered on the flight.'

The critics doubled down, and maintained that the content creator should have been more clear about where she obtained the alcohol from the get go — though, surely, one would assume a flight attendant would be hip to the familiar in-flight rules.
'It's a federal offense… You won't be able to romanticize economy from the no-fly list,' one reply said.
Meanwhile, one espresso martini purist got huffy over Corso's mixology skills.
'Bailey's does not go in an espresso Martini,' they begged in the replies. 'Stop this madness everybody!!!'

Others were quietly impressed that she achieved a decent foam on the surface of the drink.

While the bulk of the budget bartender's comments were gushing over how Corso offered a drink to the aisle seat passenger too, some Internet sleuths discovered that the girl was not, in fact a stranger.
Some speculated that the third wheel, Valeria Mandelli, a fellow Emirates flight attendant, was her sister, while others thought she was just a friend. Either way, the video's virality opened up the in-flight floodgates, and the two have since made Cosmopolitans and Bloody Marys in economy seats.
This burgeoning trend appears to be a continuation of another recent alcohol-in-airport phenomenon, when passengers were mixing their own espresso martinis while in the terminal, but this iteration seems to have drawn more ire.
While some viewers slammed this as 'self-centered behavior,' the overwhelming majority were inspired, so the next time you're awoken from an in-flight nap by ice-shaking idiots, thank the Internet — and the Instagram algorithm.

Jennifer Aniston Reportedly Hard Launches Relationship With Ex-Husband's Lookalike

"Is dating again?" has become the number one question on fans' minds thanks to her recent outing with a handsome silver fox. The sensational actress sparked speculation about her relationship with Jim Curtis, a hypnotherapist, life coach, and love specialist. The duo enjoyed what appeared to be a romantic getaway after years of reported social media interactions. Jennifer Aniston's rumored romance with Jim Curtis has turned heads for several reasons, coming seven years after her highly publicized separation from her ex-husband, Justin Theroux. Some even see the actress' rumored new beau as a lookalike for her former flames. According to new reports, Aniston spent the Fourth of July weekend with Curtis in Spain's Mallorca. The "Friends" star appeared happy and relaxed on the trip with her rumored boyfriend, even introducing him to her friends, including Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka. Aniston and Curtis joined the celebrity couple for a yacht party, seemingly launching their status as a couple. Fans suspected the TV personality had been dropping hints about her romantic relationship with the motivational coach months before their trip to Spain. In April, Aniston revealed she had undergone hypnotic treatment to overcome her fear of flying, presumably under her hypnotherapist beau. A month later, she told fans that she was reading Curtis's book, "Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness," according to RadarOnline. Although their relationship made headlines this year, Aniston's ties to Curtis date back to 2023, as evident on his social media platform. The actress has been an active follower of the hypnotherapist's Instagram page for almost two years. Aniston frequently likes Curtis' social media content, especially posts about overcoming breakups and moving on. Fans saw their online interactions as a sign of something more, with some reportedly dubbing the love guru the "gray-haired, silver fox version" of the actress's ex-husband. Curtis has over 500k followers on Instagram, with his bio describing him as a coach whose goal is to help people heal and thrive. He shares motivational posts, quotes, and affirmations, with his last update inspiring fans to manifest the life they want for themselves. Theroux, the man some saw as Aniston's rumored beau's silver fox lookalike, has maintained a years-long friendship with his ex-wife despite their divorce. The once-famous couple first met in 2007 on the set of "Tropic Thunder." They were introduced by their mutual pal, Ben Stiller, who co-wrote the movie with Theroux. Aniston and the actor reconnected three years later, in the Fall of 2010, while shooting "Wanderlust." Although they sparked dating rumors, they did not confirm their relationship until 2011. Theroux popped the big question in August 2012, and the pair stayed engaged for nearly three years before tying the knot in a backyard ceremony in August 2015. Aniston and Theroux appeared to have a blissful married life until they shockingly announced their separation in early 2018, per PEOPLE. Early this month, The Blast reported that Aniston would face one of the most emotionally challenging roles of her career. She has been selected to play the late Debra McCurdy, the controversial mother of actress Jennette McCurdy, who passed away in 2013. The former "iCarly" actress detailed her traumatizing relationship with her mother in the memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died." Aniston shall cover this emotional portrayal of Debra in an upcoming Apple TV+ adaptation of the book, which strikes close to home for the entertainer. Aniston has been vocal about her complicated relationship with her late mom, Nancy Dow, with a source noting she resonated with Jennette's struggles. "This is a very poignant role for Jen to say the very least. She loved Jennette's story and is very passionate about bringing it to life," the insider shared. Besides being passionate about covering the story of children with difficult mothers, The Blast noted Aniston hoped to bring her talents to Broadway. The celebrated actress revealed her desire to perform on stage during an interview, saying: "I definitely want to do a Broadway play. That's on my bucket list, but it's finding the time and finding the right piece, the right material." Aniston's enthusiasm for starring on Broadway may stem from her prestigious acting background. She was born to actors Nancy Dow and John Aniston and raised in the entertainment business. Her acting debut was in the 1993 cult horror-comedy "Leprechaun." However, she gained international recognition as Rachel Green in the beloved sitcom "Friends." Will Jennifer Aniston address the viral speculations about her relationship with Jim Curtis?
