And I love the " oh, it's just right here!" middle seat explanation

She was the seat robber.

Just sitting there in the first place, the answer is simply NO!

💯

yep! she should have found the person before the flight and asked, asked the flight personnel, or simply booked it that way in the reservation!!! She just assumed she would get her way and went ahead and did it without permission. They say "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" but not in this situation!

You would be surprised how the media would usually side with a mother regardless of the truth!

Simply unbelievable the absolute gall to be upset about a spot you didn't pay for Right on for keeping your seat. Hell if it means so much pay in advance for the seat you want. Geez people.

agreed

That was my first thought. She doesn't need to 'need' the seat for a health issue or whatever. It's HER seat.

Absolutely

David Sedaris wrote a great short story about being asked to switch seats. Btw this woman seems a bit smug to me

Thanks for sharing your honeymoon flight story with us, because I was starting to get a little bit depressed by all the pro-flyer versus pro-mom discussion on here, lol. God bless. :)

You were just lucky that day..

I think the guy just wanted an aisle seat lol

That's a good one 😂😂

Exactly

True. And maybe ask to take someone’s seat… but why is this a news story to begin with? Must’ve been a slow day.

“It was a nonevent after..” seems like it wasn’t an event at all. News line: Woman seating in wrong seat is asked to move.

Were you ready to fight them if they refuse to give it up?

I fly often, several times a month. I've not heard of aisle seats that cost extra. But yes, people are entitled and rude as hell.

@@JackIsNotInTheBox you don't have to fight lol you call the attendant and if they make a big deal about it they get kicked off the plane. simple. this lady could have done that if the woman kept pushing it.

and if the person that's trying to steal your seat is dumb enough to threaten you or assault you well then they can enjoy sitting in a cell lol

Exactly,lol!

Yeah, given that she's lazy enough not to book in advance to select an entire row, and is selfish enough to think she just unilaterally swap a -worst, least expensive- middle seat for the -best, most expensive- window seat, hoping that "it's easier to get forgiveness than permission" would pay off (probably again after many other times), tells me she's not a great person. They were probably totally embarrassed by her shamelessness. Narcissism, whaddya gonna do. If not for the kids I would have shown her face and shamed her publicly.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Correct!

😂😂😂😂

Using this... lol

Same!

What an airline bumps people or change their seat that’s not planning errors. Airlines are supposed to say families together, especially with underage children which under 16 is still under age. So that was their error not the mothers. But if the kids were being kids, everyone will be asking Where is the mother?

that line is from Family Guy

I don’t think air likes do that because me and my husband planned and paid extra to have our seats together we are going in may of this year with our 2 year old

Obviously the woman did nothing wrong here. But am I the only one who think this is the most non-story ever?

It call human disecy You obviously have none

She doesn't need a reason to not trade but why does that mean she should stop explaining? It just spreads awareness and empathy. I am the kind of person who would have probably backed down from such an awkward situation but hearing her story would make me more comfortable to stand my ground too.

Most of us don't.... The people that do were selfish and arrogant BEFORE they had children.

Spot on. Its just plain RUDE. But these people go right on the offence.

Agree your seat is your

There's such a thing as being humble and allowing a mother to sit by her children. Rude are you for being so selfish after the mom was trying to ask nicely for a seat.

or hillbilly ignorant .. or playing dumb. the middle seat is '$0 added" now ... no one wants it... gaming for the better seat when you know the middle seat is the $0USD added seat ... is intentional or ignorant or playing really dumb .. one of those three things; i know people who don't know this, too.

What did the mother do. But moved when she was asked too. It’s only this women who said she was unhappy. She didn’t say anything so why is this women even talking about it. I’d offer my seat as a mother. And would have no problem giving up my window seat I love too. Why because normal people want families sitting together. It’s not just about sitting to visit.

You guys Got it all wrong. Where I come from we go out of our way to help mothers and children. Blonde lady is an evolving Karen. She isn’t full blown Karen yet, but soon enough she’ll be in a fast food restaurant blowing up the workers bc she has only had “90 minutes of sleep” or is working on a “big presentation”. Her issues supersede everyone else, the definition of a Karen.

I guess they probably have to give you training in that job to deal with these kinds of people. It's nice to travel but I'm not sure that's a job I'd want

Ikr? They're old enough to be home alone, they were fine with their mom being a single row behind!!

I agree, but you should not assume a child "looks" old enough to do something. Kids can have unseen issues, like autism, that could affect how they act or need to be treated long beyond how they may look for their age. Clearly that wasn't the case here, just saying, we can't assume someones abilities based on "looks." If that was this womans issue she most certainly would have ensured she was sitting with her kids. The mother in this case was acting entitled assuming she will just figure it all out on the plane, that her poor planning or not wanting to pay for seat priority could be someone elses problem.

If the children had special needs the parent can indicate that when booking and there are airline protocols to ensure they are together. It isnt a passengers or flight attendants responsibility. The seat was paid for and the woman had. a right to sit in her seat regardless of the kids.

Yes, but you know very well this is the airlines fault, they chargins for everything now.

Bam!

Brilliant! My father always did the same thing. He's 6'3" and no way he could fit in a normal seat other than the first one.

Or they could have paid for a front seat knowing she needed more room?

But really it's shocking, why didn't he switch with her??

@@andiidoode Do you mean the passenger or the husband? The passenger paid extra so he could be comfortable on the flight. The husband, I'm not sure why he didn't switch seats with her. He should have taken the baby at least.

I’m happy to switch, as long as it’s not a middle seat. 😅

This Happened To Me Before , A Child Was Sitting In My Seat 😅

Exactly, ask first!

Agreed!

No compassion

No. She probably didn’t pay for the seats ahead of time. So the airline assigned the seats at check in.

@@heleneboisvert-gravelle8081 Yeah, thats what they said. She waited for the last minute and those were the only seats available. Then she has the nerve to blame the airlines. The entitlement! Man, she was much nicer than I wouldve been.

Not really. They usually assign the seats when you check-in right before the flight.

If she had lied to me she would have been moved when I discovered it. You still had the ticket to that seat. Fortunately it worked out for you.

He did not even ask me. They continued to engage in conversation, laughing etc. So arrogant.

​@@cindyfreihofer2093I would have made him move.

Having kids is a choice don’t burden other people with your poor decisions

Some of us pay good money to sit together. Then, when we get to the airport, our originating flight leaves late or is cancelled, causing us to have to be rebooked for the second leg. Then, nasty people on the second leg say we should have paid to sit together (and we DID) but fail to think about the fact that maybe something the airline did, as opposed to something we did, is why we are trying to see if we can work out a way to remain together. Please think about this before saying something snarky to the person who is trying to make sure their six year old isn't sitting unaccompanied on the flight. Neither the parent nor the six year old bears responsibility for their originating flight leaving late or getting cancelled.

I think window seats are usually more expensive. So I think what happened was the mom didn’t want to pay it. So instead she just took the seat expecting whoever is actually supposed to sit there to just be ok with trading seats

@@OrangeArdmore you’ll live 😊

You needed to report the flight attendant as soon as you landed. GUARANTEE she would be in trouble for not handling that right!

I had the same thing happen to me. A man with a thick eastern European accent stood over me saying over and over that I was sitting next to his wife and I needed to switch my aisle seat for his middle seat a few rows back. Um, no, I don't. I paid extra to pick an aisle seat because I get claustrophobic. It was just a 2 hour flight. Did he really need to sit next to her? The flight attendant was of NO help at all. Finally someone else grew tired of the man's whining and did some switching so they could sit together. It was so irritating to deal with especially since I paid more to reserve that seat.

The only problem you had was the passenger's discourtesy and the flight attendant's failure to back you up. Good for you for not going along with that rudeness.

Why wouldn't that same seat the flight attendant suggested, accommodate the seat stealing woman 😂

in our society, sadly, women are treated like they are idiots. What's worse is that OTHER women will treat them like idiots, it's not always a man who will do his....it's woman vs. woman. It's very abusive. You had two women beating up on you....real nice of them. Shame on the flight attendant--what was HER problem??

and a nasty beotch!!!!

@@charlottesmith1662 No they were definitely older than that lol

@@charlottesmith1662 I don’t care if she was 5! That’s not her problem. If you want to sit with your kids then BOOK with your kids.

Being “nice” doesn’t mean giving up what you need for the comfort or needs of others - that’s naivety! That’s foolishness. That’s not having a strong sense of self. My “no” requires no further explanation.

You did the right thing.

LMAO, the audacity. I would have been like " Okay... I don't actually care that you don't want your assigned seat, that's not my business. However this seat that I paid for is so move your ass away tf". I'm happy the flight attendant took care of it for you lol.

I would’ve him “that sounds like a you problem” 😂

good for you

As long as you paid for the seat, with your money and not his,he needs to move his stupid ass to his assigned seat!! Besides, there's always an option to choose the particular seating area,one is comfortable with,so his excuse was bogus and silly.

No wrong on yr side, lady

100% correct

wtf are you talking about, she sat beside her children and moved when asked, didn't bitch didn't say a word, maybe she was hoping that nobody showed for that seat, nobody here was acting entitled, in fact the only problem i seen here was some snob bitch making a big deal out of it for no reason at all, in fact if she were any kind of decent human she would have forgone her bitch snob attitude much like yours and let a family sit together for a plane ride, jesus christ all we hear is bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch rom people like you, i absolutely would have traded seats its the only decent thing to do in a case like that duh

When we got on he said that he had not understood that. Anyway my point is yes she wanted it for herself but had reason to think the children especially the 12 year old would like it better. The 15 year old was totally embarrassed by her presumption and attempt to make it look like she was put out on her children's behave.

Good for you in standing up for yourself...we TEACH people how to treat us and what we will and will not accept. Just last week I went to the movies...ONE aisle seat left ..in the back (in the wheelchair /companion section) which was perfect. I get there and a woman is in my seat, asks me to verify then acknowledges that someone was in her seat so she sat in mine. Respectfully, asked her if she wanted me to get attendant to assist in getting HER seat (she was older). She accepted my offer but by the time I returned she was already informing the person in her seat (aisle row in front of me; their seat was 5 seats in) It worked out and hopefully showed the original seat takers "folks PICK their seats for a reason" !

Hmmm… this clearly didn’t happen

They should have kicked him off

Ha, your comment made my mind immediately go to, Stand your ground laws.

Definitely. I'll trade for equal or better, but don't poach first and ask later or any swap becomes unlikely at that point. And, definitely don't have conversations with poachers about why. Just a "no thanks" will do.

she wasnt felling entitled at all, she took an empty seat beside her children and moved when the person showed up for it, the only entitled person here is the one who made the video and your right she paid for the seat, however she passively aggressively made a video to demean the woman, the woman probably never even said a word except sorry i guess this is your seat and said i just was hoping to sit with my kids, the only stink caused here is the bitch who made the video

Even if you were a mom to 6 and 4 year olds she should stand her ground it’s not hers or anyone that ends up in that situations fault… parents should plan better.

"someone took my plane seat so now i need to go to the press like a fretard"

​@@SelaLucerodefinitely. pay extra when travelling with kids to choose seats and ensure that all are sitting together. Don't try to negotiate with random people on the plane.

Unfortunately ppl are looking at it as a rights issue, this is just about common courtesy. As a guy I deal with entitled females all the time but if a mom wanted me to move to be next to her kid I'd move because it's not about her it's about a scared kid on a plane . FYI as a guy I wouldn't want to sit next to kid anyway .

If I was alone in a plane and a situation like that happened to me, I would gladly offer you (or anyone else) to switch seats, especially more if my seat is in the middle one, which is the one I hate the most 😆. I flew once with a colleague, and let's say his hygiene was not top, yeah, my nose felt that. On the last leg, we were not seated side by side and I was quite happy about it. Before takeoff, we chat a bit and the guy next to me ask: "Do you want to switch seats to be next to your colleague?". I told him "No thank you, I will try to sleep anyway." I lied of course🤣

Same. Did same a couple times. My problem

What’s even worse is a plane I was on the steward automatically switched my seat so others could sit together. I didn’t throw a stink. But I wasn’t even asked.

The thing that always gets me is somehow these people always manage to board during pre-boarding even though they don’t have strollers or something that normally qualifies you for pre-boarding. Like they know the f’d up by buying basic economy that doesn’t let them choose a seat, so now their plan is get on board, take whatever they like, and prepare to guilt trip anyone who insists on sitting in their specifically chosen seat which they paid extra for.

@@omgyeti2049 IIRC there’s usually something on your ticket that says whether you’re qualified for pre-boarding, I don’y think you can just sneak into it. Just like it says (at least w/ the airlines I’ve flown) whether or not you are allowed a carry-on bag.

Right, it’s insane people feel entitled to a seat other than what’s on their boarding pass! If you can’t get a seat switched by the staff, sit in your assigned seat, simple.

People with small children are offerd the chance to preboard. I believe the woman was holding a baby.

@@gailhitson7340 Whether you have a child or an impairment doesn’t mean you can sit anywhere. Most airlines have assigned seats. Southwest I believe is the exception?

I suggest you take it up with them, AFTER you vacate my seat."

@@toddmacadam3888 Tod as your last name suggests. You are either nuts or the bedrock of a road to nowhere? This self entitled Karen would probably do the same thing if she had kids as this mom to be with her kids.

I'd have said to her (as nicely as possible) that I paid to have a specific seat so I don't get motion sick, and that I don't think the people sitting to the sides of HER assigned seat behind them, would appreciate me yakking all over them during takeoff and/or landing, and that for future trips, now she knows SHE needs to book seats together when traveling if she wants to sit with her kids... but that they seem old enough to yell back one row to their mom if they have any problems. Then I'd laugh so she knew I was being lighthearted, but still without being bullied into switching, because she failed to plan appropriately. As the saying goes: "failure to plan on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on my part!" (of course, I'd only say that last part to her if she continued to push)

@@A.Girl.Has.No.Name.you are much nicer than I am, I don’t feel the need to offer a reason for saying want to sit in the seat I paid for, I stick with ‘you’re in my seat’ and if they don’t start moving I ring for the flight attendant

@@katherinekelly5380I am the same. Why should you explain why you want the seat after you paid for it. Rude people aren’t worthy of an explanation

History repeats itself.

​@@katherinekelly5380years ago someone sat in my allocated seat by accident and I had been polite and said I think you took the wrong seat by accident and they moved and apologised.

He called you a b**ch? Yet he's the one getting his cheeks clapped by a man😂😂😂

Good call. Trust your instincts. It is bad luck to switch seats anyhow.

Good for you and nobody should have to justify why they want the area that they chose and paid for. It's yours and if you want it back or in this case refused just swhich , it's yours.

@@islandgirl8834 oooh yesss I love that

​@@islandgirl8834😅

Well, what else are you gonna do? Sit in someone else’s seat and be told to move into yours anyway? I’m surprised this is a news story 😂 nothing really happened

Why?

GOD has new plans for you, honestly, just give Him a try, maybe you have seen others represent God in a way that doesn't show Him right, just give GOD a try. GOD has better plans for you ✝️💗 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If it were me, "pezzof" :P

@@19Borneo67 I think heidya here will be pleased with more than an inch brother

such a dramatization when all she needed to say was thats my seat, move!

That was her seat. Plain and simple. She paid for it

@@stephenulmer3781 she could’ve let the mother sit with her kids. So cruel

@@Grrr111___ she has grown ass kids, I would understand if they were under 7... And no. And if mother had window seat, she would have switched.

Exactly.... They were older. If she was so concerned she could have paid for all seats to be together.

Manipulative mother.

theyclosechannelsthatspeak428, Exactly what I was thinking!

The kids might have been happy Not sitting with cranky mom!! The business women chose the window seat for a reason! I would have ask flight attendant to handle it!

Who cares if they were older or not. Sit in your own seat.
