A plane passenger has been blasted online after he refused to let an elderly woman sit in the same row as him. The man was thrilled when he boarded his AirAsia flight and realised that the two seats beside him were vacant - meaning he had the whole row to himself.
Hoping to catch up on some sleep during the journey, he waited until the seatbelt sign was turned off before laying down across the seats to get some shut eye. However, half an hour later, he felt a tap on his leg and was stunned to find an elderly passenger wanting to take the seat at the end of the row.
Frustrated, he called over a crew member to tell the woman to move as she was not in her allocated seat, the Mirror reports. But to his annoyance, the staff refused and pointed out that he was not in the seat he had paid for either. Sharing his experience on Reddit, several commenters agreed with the cabin crew member and criticised the man for 'throwing a strop' on the plane.
