Terrible. But quite frankly, I am even more disgusted that the folks in first class didn’t offer up their seats to him when they saw that he was overweight and may have preferred a more spacious and luxurious aviation experience. Very disappointing
Delusional Accenture world that we* live in my good man
I was in the aisle exit row and the man next to me asked if I would be willing to swap so his wife could join him and his daughter. I’m tall and select my seat as soon as I book.
Weirdly, when I said I actually needed the extra leg room, but if he wished for the three of them to sit together, the two people in her row would likely gladly trade for the additional legroom, he didn’t take me up on that. 😒
You’re entirely entitled to sit in the seat you were assigned, guilt free. Politely and with kindness, suggest to him to ring the call button and ask if other seats are available.
I once had a young woman get all sweets before asking if I would exchange my aisle seat with her boyfriend who had a middle seat...took me a few seconds to respond since I was looking for a fitting response. Ended up saying - "What do you think?"
She did not ask again and I never looked in that direction either 😉
No. The boyfriend was 5 rows back, in the middle seat. Should have mentioned that 😁
I would have told him to go to hell
Had a woman ask me this recently and she was larger as well as her neighbor. I refused politely and she tried to threaten that she would be getting up nonstop during the flight. I said that's fine and she threw elbows until I shoved a magazine between us. She then got mad and threw out the c#nt word at me. I later hear she's a school teacher for a bunch of kids. Solid model for our future.
Yikes M1, she sounds horrible. I’m consistently surprised by how self entitled people are. 🤦🏻♀️
Eh you feel guilty because you’re an empathetic person. Just because someone asks doesn’t mean they’re entitled to get it. It’s reserved seating, not general admission
Feel bad for him but it’s my seat. How terrible am I?
Don’t feel bad. I think it’s an awkward move when someone asks something like that on a plane. Definitely would move seats if some has a child or SO that they got separated from, but in this case it feels like it sets up a scenario where one person loses and then it’s just awkward for X hours. Especially when you have to get up when he needs to use the bathroom 😂
