A Delta Air Lines passenger has sparked a heated debate after refusing to give up his assigned seat so a couple could sit together, only to be removed from the flight after the disagreement escalated into a confrontation with crew members.
The incident involved Santiago Daza, who was travelling on Delta flight 983 from Bogotá to Atlanta on 9 September 2026, before continuing to Orlando. His account and recordings began circulating online weeks after the incident, prompting arguments over passenger etiquette, airline authority and whether travellers should be expected to surrender their seats for other passengers.
