'Exhausted' plane passenger angry after mum forces him to give up seat for baby

An "exhausted" plane passenger has told of his anger after a mum disrupted his plans to enjoy a mid-flight nap. The man was flying home after a month spent backpacking with his friend when the pals discovered an empty seat at the end of their row on the plane.

Keen to get some shut-eye after an early start to catch their connecting flight, the pair devised a plan. "We'd move and make the middle seat the spare and take turns lying down or stretch out a bit further and sleep back to back," the man later explained in a post to Reddit.

But a fellow passenger had another idea for the seat. Seated a few rows forward, a mum travelling with her baby had spotted the gap. She hoped her seat neighbour would move to the spot so she could have plenty of room for her baby, reports the Mirror.
