A plane passenger irritated fellow travelers by sticking her smelly feet through the seat gap in front of her.

Footage shows the woman, wearing skin-toned pantyhose, sleeping mid-takeoff with her feet positioned behind the armrest of the female passenger seated by the window on June 29.

The filmer recalled noticing a strong odour lingering nearby, prompting her to look back and discover the woman's feet intruding during the Qingdao to Beijing domestic flight with Air China.

She said: 'I was sleeping and was woken up by the smell. I couldn't call a flight attendant immediately because it was during departure, but I pressed the call button mid-flight.

'I told them what was happening, and they gave her a pair of slippers. However, for the remaining 30 minutes of the flight, she kept pushing my chair with her knees. It was a very uncomfortable flight.'

The filmer said the passenger made the journey on the single-aisle plane uncomftortable for him and other fliers.
