We've all heard that money talks, but sometimes even with money and fame, a person can still receive the short end of the stick.
Former Real Madrid soccer player, Sergio Carrallo, and his wife, Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury, went on a lengthy winter vacation, and in the midst of their planning they had their assistant book a flight with the promise that they were getting the "best seats on the plane."
But in a 10-second video, Carrallo revealed that the famous pair were actually sitting in arguably the worst seats on the plane.
At the start of the video, Carrallo and Stanbury appeared comfortable enough, despite having seats that didn't lean back.
"We got the best seats in the plane. Nothing goes back.”
But there was a catch, which Carrallo showed by flipping the camera around to reveal the rest of the passengers facing them and waving at them. Immediately behind them was a cargo closet.
So we’re facing the cabin, basically.”
As if a famous couple wouldn't already receive enough attention in their travels, now they were face-to-face with all of their fellow passengers on the plane.

Fellow TikTokers were appalled that these seats even existed.

Fortunately, later on the trip, Carrallo's assistant was able to book them much better seats.
"Finally, facing the right way!"
Some TikTokers didn't think the seats should be such a big issue to blast on social media.

It was clear that some of the TikTok community was not supportive of the celebrity trip or the trouble they had in their travel planning.
As negative as some of these TikTokers were, however, we've surely all had awkward or disappointing experiences while traveling, and it seems we don't become immune to that just by having more money at our disposal.
But there are some mistakes that can happen during a trip that could ruin the entire experience. At least this couple was able to move on and live it up!
