Airline seat swap nightmare

The debate about plane etiquette has taken flight once again with a TikToker asking for advice over her disconcerting seat switching story.

Several stories about the etiquette around seat swapping on planes have reared their head above the clouds recently and now New York-based Surya Garg has reignited the debate.

The 23-year-old TikToker revealed how she was in the middle of a seat swap nightmare after being approached by a mom on a flight and, according to her, subjected to unpleasant behavior.

In a video, Surya details how a mom came up to her and asked if she could give up her window seat – which she had paid extra for – so that she could sit with her son who ‘had to be a minimum of 16 or 17 years old.’

When she asked where the woman wanted her to move to, she was directed to a ‘middle seat like a couple of rows back.’

Then, when she asked who the woman’s son was, she was shocked to discover he was not a child but ‘like a 6ft 5in man.’

[Boy, oh, boy. When airlines force passengers to pay for specific seats, this is where being a good person gets squashed between a rock and a hard place. And no one should feel bad for saying “I’m sorry, no.” ~ Beege]
