Pete Buttigieg got quite the surprise on his flight to Houston
Being seated next to (or in this case, behind) someone you know on a flight can certainly go both ways — it’s either a happy bit of serendipity or a curse; a terrible curse.
For Democratic Presidential rivals Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, it turned out to be more of the former — though still a little awkward we’d imagine. Both candidates appeared to have a good laugh at the seating arrangement.

Buttigieg tweeted a photo, writing, “Very funny, @united”.
Klobuchar retweeted the image, adding, “And the debate begins.. Good sitting by you @PeteButtigieg”.
