Sibling Rivalry Takes Flight: Brother’s First-Class Prank on Sister Goes Viral

The friendly skies became the backdrop for a hilarious sibling rivalry that captivated the internet. Brandon Doll-Hawley, seizing a golden opportunity, decided to playfully tease his sister, Brooklyn, about his first-class seat while she flew coach on the same flight from Northern California to Oregon to visit their father. A video documenting the prank quickly went viral on TikTok, amassing views and comments from amused viewers who related to the good-natured sibling dynamic.

A First-Class Upgrade Sparks a Mischievous Plan

Brandon’s TikTok video showcased his meticulously planned prank. “I’m on the same flight as my sister today as we both go to Oregon,” he begins, a mischievous glint in his eye. “The only difference is I’m in first class and she’s not.” He goes on to explain his intention: not to make Brooklyn feel bad, but to subtly highlight the disparity in their travel experiences. To fully embrace the role, Brandon even donned a suit, humorously admitting it was a “costume” since he wouldn’t typically be in first class. He attributed his upgrade to his father’s air miles.

The prank was a spontaneous idea that arose after Brandon learned Brooklyn would be joining him on the flight. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, he explained that initially, Brooklyn’s travel plans were uncertain. His father offered to purchase his ticket, and given the short flight duration, the cost difference between first class and coach was minimal, making the prank even more irresistible.

From Airport Swagger to In-Flight Antics: The Prank Unfolds

Brandon’s commitment to the bit extended beyond the flight itself. He arrived at the airport fully dressed in his suit, ready to embody the first-class persona. Upon encountering Brooklyn, he greeted her with a playfully “snobby look” and the cheeky remark, “I see you’re dressed for coach,” eliciting immediate laughter from his sister.

Brooklyn’s reaction was predictable, given their history of playful teasing and humorous interactions. Brandon described her as a “very good sport” throughout the ordeal, although she did jokingly complain to their father upon arrival in Oregon. He believes their strong bond allowed for such lighthearted ribbing without causing any genuine offense.

A Viral Sensation: Resonating with Siblings Worldwide

The video struck a chord with viewers, particularly those who shared similar sibling relationships. Brandon recounted how many comments came from people who exclaimed, “This is absolutely what I would’ve done!” The prank’s relatability transformed it into a viral sensation, sparking conversations and shared laughter across social media.

The viral success even led to creative suggestions from TikTok users. Some suggested Brandon should have requested a flight attendant announcement highlighting the sibling situation, while others recommended sending Brooklyn a drink from first class as a playful gesture.

Would the Tables Have Turned? A Hypothetical Role Reversal

Brandon mused that if the roles were reversed, Brooklyn would likely have retaliated in kind, although perhaps without the full suit and persona adoption. “I think it would be somewhat similar,” he speculated. “I don’t know that she would do the whole dress-up thing, but I think for sure she would be trying to rub it in my face.”

More Than Just a Prank: A Celebration of Sibling Bonds

Ultimately, Brandon’s first-class prank transcended a simple joke. It became a heartwarming testament to the unique bond between siblings, where playful teasing and shared laughter are expressions of affection and camaraderie.
