SALT LAKE CITY-<\/strong> Delta Air Lines (DL)<\/a> gate agent Nat at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)<\/a> turned a routine boarding process into an unexpected public contest, offering two empty first class seats to passengers willing to breakdance for the upgrade. The incident, which took place at Gate A31, quickly went viral after being posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main cabin on the flight was oversold, and the standard upgrade list had already been exhausted. With no formal process left to follow, the gate agent made a call that passengers at the gate will not soon forget, View from the Wing<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Agents Unique Contest for Empty Seats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An agent announced to the waiting passengers, “I’m in need of two passengers to be seated in first class. Anyone willing to do a little break dance to be seated in first class? Anyone?” Two volunteers stepped forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contestants showcased moves reminiscent of popping and locking, with one participant shifting into what appeared to be Russian<\/a> folk dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the two hopefuls performed, the rest of the gate responded with laughter, applause, and cheers. At the end of the short competition, Nat announced them as her “breakdance winners,” and both passengers headed to their first class seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
