I was once asked by a guy to swap my prepaid aisle seat with a middle seat so he could sit with his girlfriend. I said “sure…for fifty bucks” which is about what I paid for the pre-selection. He said that was ridiculous and after a little back and forth he called me a sucker for paying it. I just said I’m the sucker sitting next to your girlfriend and you’re the guy who just confirmed it’s not worth fifty bucks.

This happened to my family a few months ago. We were returning from vacation when a woman and her family decided to take our three airplane seats. I calmly explained to her, that they were our seats which we paid for when we purchased our tickets (we always purchase our seats when we purchase our tickets). She and her family refused to move, we had to call the flight attendant who then had to threaten to call security to get the family to move. She did not want her seats which were in the back of the airplane (our seats were in the front). She claimed that her travel agent told her she could sit anywhere on the airplane. She was very angry. Some people believe that they can take whatever they want whenever they want; as if the world revolves around them. I am happy you did not give in to her and you did not have to explain to her why you wanted the seat, you paid for it, so you were entitled to sit there.

Years back I flew overseas on a 7 hour flight with my daughter. We could not get seats together. It never occurred to me to ask someone to switch their seat so I could sit with her. It was our problem for booking late. I had the window & she had the aisle in the row behind me & opposite. I told her you’re close by if you need anything. I was surprised when the fellow beside me offered to switch with her. It was a nice gesture & he kept his aisle seat but I never expected him or anyone to switch seats. My thought is when we book late it is our problem. No one should have to sacrifice their seat for our mistakes.

A couple in their late 50s nicely asked if I would switch my seat so they could sit together, they pointed further back where the lady's seat was.. And I was way too kind (and plain stupid) to agree without checking out her seat first. For the next 10 hours I was in the back of the plane in the middle section with a loud multi-kid family (like, 10 of them) occupying the entire row behind me, and one of their toddlers kicking my seat non-stop.

Yep! Once I learned that almost every airline will absolutely work with parents who NEED to sit by younger children or kids with needs, I stopped having as much empathy. These parents simply didn't want to pay extra to sit with their kids. And if the kids are old enough, they know they can't get away with not paying and then relying on the airline to accommodate them. I am fully sympathetic with last minute trips (maybe a family emergency or funeral, etc...) where parents simply can't find 3 open seats together, but again, in those cases, if you call the airline or get there early and go to the gate agent or check in agent, they will almost always be able to get you seated together in a necessary situation. I have severe flight anxiety, and having my seat pre-selected is one way I help to mitigate it. I don't mind switching for an equivalent seat within a few rows of where I booked, but otherwise, it's not my problem. And I'm not generally that type of person either, but airfare costs time and money in order to be comfortable, and I spend a significant amount of time researching flight options and seat availability before choosing a flight. I don't think I owe it to someone else with poor planning skills to be uncomfortable for an expensive flight.

I ended up feeling so bad, as the stewards weren’t exactly helpful and I made it obvious I didn’t want to move. I did move, begrudgingly. That flight cost £7000! And, I ended up in a crappy seat.

I had a very similar thing happen. Long haul flight and I had deliberately paid extra, ahead of time, to pick an aisle seat, because I had an upset stomach and it's super stressful to have to wake people up to go to the toilet multiple times. A mum in a middle seat one row over goes "hey, would you mind switching with me so I can sit next to my daughter?" (12-ish year old sitting in the middle seat next to me) I replied apologetically that I was sorry but I needed an aisle seat. Did not elaborate because why tell the whole plane I have diarrhoea?? Woman gets huffy with me and goes on about how it's not fair, the airline didn't put them together, it's a long flight... I reply sorry, I deliberately booked this aisle seat. "Fine!" She says "Then I hope you know that you're responsible for my daughter for the duration of this flight!" I just smiled and nodded, because a) no way, that ain't legal, b) she's 12, she'll be fine, and c) you're just trying to get a rise out of me at this point 😂 Mum called a flight attendant and complained, to whom I also explained the situation. Eventually after a lot of fuss they managed to find a THIRD person who was prepared to do a 3-way swap, so that I could sit in ANOTHER aisle seat and mum could have her way. I agreed to move at that point because all I really wanted was an aisle seat, not a war 😂🤦♀️

I did it once. it was a small aircraft with only three seats in a row, a single seat on one side and two on the other. I had the window seat and my husband had the single seat on the other side of the aisle, and I asked the man in the aisle seat next to my window seat to switch with my husband. I would consider the single seat, which is both aisle and window at the same time, to be the more desirable seat to somebody traveling alone. And he agreed to the trade. Since then, however, I have paid more attention to our boarding passes prior to boarding to see if we are seated together. My husband is deaf and depends on me for communication, and I will inform the gate agent of our need to sit together. And the seat selection business at the time of booking the tickets doesn't work. People who say "I paid for this seat" don't know what they are talking about; airlines switch equipment (aircraft) all the time, and the different aircraft have different floor plans.

I said it was fine - that she would be sleeping and we would not be talking or disturbing him and if she did want to talk we would head to the back of the plane together to stretch our legs (like I said - this was to Australia so a long long flight). He refused and said I needed to take the middle seat. Annoyingly I gave up because I did not want him to be horrible to both of us from the middle seat for 10 plus hours. Honestly though - just get online and secure your seats. I got next to no sleep at all because not only did he take the aisle seat he did the standard male move of taking both armrests for himself. So annoying.

A man did this to me years ago. I was on a work trip and had booked a window seat, got to my seat and man was sitting there. I politely told him that he was in my seat, and he said “well you can sit in mine”, which was the middle seat in the next aisle. I again, politely told him that I didn’t want his middle seat, I wanted my window seat. He ignored me, and probably thought I would cave since I was a young 23yr old and he was a grown man. Nope, my parents didn’t raise me without a backbone, I clearly and loudly told him that I would go get the flight attendant so that she could assist him to his assigned seat. He huffed and puffed, called me B, but got out of my seat. People have some nerve.

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" !

The sickening selfishness, egocentrism, INHUMANITY and ENTITLEMENT of this *dumb pathetic woman* deprived her of sleep (and peace and joy and rest) for the whole flight anyways! And from what I am observing: for years to come! What an incredible, blinded, *self-infatuated fool* 🤯🙄🤯 She could've denied herself a little here for the sake of a family, and received great rewards from the Almighty God later! Instead, she made this whole international fuss of this alleged "nonissue", deprived *her own stupid self* of sleep the entire flight, made much ado about nothing, and is still dealing with this pathetic "non-issue" to this day! Making herself infamously scandalously "popular" throughout the entire country! And even across the world, where I am watching from right now. What a pathetic spoiled egotistical prideful Witch! All she had to do is say "yes sure, no big deal, no problem at all!" And slept peacefully for the rest of the flight in her comfortable middle seat. One piece of advice for ANYONE traveling by any means: Carry good *EARPLUGS* with you, and you'll be able to sleep in the noisiest places ever imaginable with NO PROBLEM whatsoever!!! And you won't have to whine about non-issues like a baby, as if your life depends on it❗️ I mean, this grown woman is so pathetic, it's not even funny!!! Just very very incredibly sad, what this world has come to... The American nation has turned into a pathetic mob of spoiled, sheltered, pampered, entitled, SELFISH and HELPLESS *whiny snowflakes, cupcakes and wimps!* 🙄🙄 No wonder the harshest judgment of God is coming to your land very soon.

Just today I was sitting in my window seat by the wing, just the way I like it, and the person next to me proceeds to reach over me and pull the shades down to BOTH windows beside me. For exactly the reasons this woman mentioned I have a penchant for window seats, so whoever is next to me needs to deal with the shades being up or down. You can politely ask, but don’t reach over because you can’t deal with the light. Choose an aisle seat next time.

I had booked my flight 9 months in advance AND paid the extra fee for upgraded seat. When I got to my seat upon boarding a woman was sitting in my aisle seat. She refused to move. I asked for the flight attendant, and guess what? The flight attendant said to me, there is an aisle seat in the back row (next to the restrooms), could you accommodate this woman? I stood my ground, but both the flight attendant and the woman rolled their eyes at me, with the woman saying “You have a problem, I feel sorry for you!” I post this because you cannot depend on the flight attendants to help you obtain the seat you paid for. By the way, I had paid the big bucks for row 6, aisle seat.

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.

We told them it wasn't necessary, and they ended up buying us a round of beers anyways. It sounds like the woman in this case handled it very poorly.

Then I'd laugh so she knew I was being lighthearted, but still without being bullied into switching, because she failed to plan appropriately.
