A Mexican fitness influencer, Barbara de Regil, filmed herself exercising in the business class of an Emirates flight. She shared a video of her running in place and doing squat jumps, claiming she needed to release energy during a long journey. The incident occurred on a flight to the United States, which she described as a "35-hour" trip, likely including a layover in Dubai. Many found her actions disruptive to other passengers. De Regil's video has since been deleted, but it sparked discussions about appropriate behavior on flights. Critics noted that there are more considerate ways to stretch and move during long flights.
