A first-class plane passenger sparked a furious debate after she refused to give up her plane seat for a teenager who wanted to sit with their family. The spot is often considered to be the best seat on the plane as it’s a window seat with lots of legroom.
But she was left stunned when a member of staff approached her and asked if she would be willing to move. But Sabra didn’t want to give up a seat she’d paid a higher price to get and took to social media to slam staff for making the request.
Also they ended up finding a solution so no, I am not a terrible human being. “As a mum, I’m on your side.
If they wanted to sit together they should have made sure the seats were together,” they said. A second commented: “I worked overtime for 2 weeks to be able to upgrade my seat for comfort and experience.
No way I would have given that up.” While some slammed the family for wanting her to swap seats, the TikTok user clarified that she actually had no interaction with the family themselves.
She said: “To clarify, the gate agent asked me, I asked to see the seat map, I didn’t like the alternative. “They were kind and found a solution right away.
The family never addressed me. One user said: “When I was 18 I did give up my window seat so a child could sit with her mom.
I kept thinking of how scared the child was.” Another wrote: “Last flight I took, they wouldn’t let us choose seats until boarding.
They sat my four-year-old alone. Sometimes it’s not poor planning by parents.”
