I made a little girl cry on a plane

A solo traveller who became embroiled in a row about seats with a father on a plane has asked if she was in the wrong for making his young daughter cry.

Taking to the US discussion forum Reddit, the 22-year-old woman said she’d reserved a window seat for her nine-hour long international flight.

Once she boarded the plane and reached the correct aisle, she saw a young child was in her space and her father was in the middle seat.

The man stared at her and said ‘she’s a child’ before pointing at the aisle seat, implying the young woman should sit there instead but she insisted on taking her pre-booked space, which sent the little girl into floods of tears.
