In a world where billions of people travel by plane every year, there’s bound to be some drama in the skies. Sometimes it’s mild and other times things really blow up. The least one can hope for when boarding is to have a safe and comfortable flight, and that the aircraft is filled with nice people.
One woman shared how she’s feeling a bit bad about an incident that happened recently. She’d booked and paid for an aisle seat but was asked to swap, by a man she describes as “very, very overweight.” He had been allocated a window seat, which was a struggle for him to squeeze through to. The woman says she politely declined to move, even when an air hostess requested that she do so. After the embarrassment that followed, she’s now wondering if she was being unreasonable and has turned to the internet for advice. Bored Panda had a great chat with etiquette expert and trainer Rosalinda Randall, who shared her views and advice on seat swaps.
