A traveller took revenge on a fellow airline passenger who took his pre-booked seat, leaving people divided on his actions.
The man, who shared his story on social media, was flying across the US from Florida to California when the altercation took place.
He had booked a ticket for an aisle seat, but despite pointing out to the 'twentysomething woman' that she was in the wrong place, she refused to get up.

At first, he imagined there had been some sort of confusion, so showed her his ticket and politely explained that she was 'probably in the wrong seat,' reports the Mirror.
In response, she simply rolled her eyes and admitted that she should be in seat 24C, the seat right behind, with the sort of unbothered tone that reminded the by-then-irate passenger of somebody 'playing Yahtzee'.
Taking to Reddit, where he goes by the username u/Smolame, the infuriated man recalled: "After a 15-second stare down I say 'well?' and she says she is 'comfortable already' and 'not moving' and 'wants to sleep' blah blah.
"Okay, I see how it is. Real dumb to put someone upset with you in the seat behind you."Sitting himself down in the vacant seat behind her, the peeved passenger began plotting his revenge and hatched a plan that has since divided fellow Reddit users.
He continued: "I proceeded to set a silent timer on my phone that went off every two minutes to remind myself to kick her seat, violently, and then every time the seat belt sign went off I'd get up, grabbing the top of the seat to lift myself up pulling her seat back and forth and one time (accidental but worth it) pulled her hair she put over the back of the seat.
"Safe to say she had lots of extra 'turbulence' and got absolutely no sleep. There were MANY death stares and head turns. Each time I would just smile and wave. I knew she wouldn't say anything either because she is not even supposed to be in that seat anyways. Happy travels."
A number of people have applauded the passenger for not just accepting the woman's rudeness lying down, while others felt he should have just taken the high road and asked a flight attendant to deal with the situation.
One person commented: "Smart move. Better her be in front of you than vice-versa, and just the right dose of petty revenge."
Another argued: "Nah, sorry man but you gotta call the flight attendant. They'll take care of it for you. If she tries to pull something on you then you can call the attendant back. Best case scenario, the flight attendant will actually upgrade you if possible."
A third joked: "I'd have said, 'Well since you're in my seat, I'm gonna sit there anyway', and proceed to sit in her lap."
