With travel firmly back on the agenda, familiar dilemmas are coming to light. It has been reported that one Ryanair passenger who had paid to choose for their seat on a flight, has sparked debate after refusing to move seats for a mum with a young baby.
Dividing opinion, the passenger posted on Reddit that he had paid specifically for the middle seat in a row for a two-hour flight and was seated next to a woman with her young baby. Writing on the discussion website, the passenger said that when he took his seat, the woman asked him he if would like to move to the back of the plane to switch seats with her husband, which, reported the Mirror, he turned down.
He wrote: "I bought my seat on row 4B which is in the middle, it may sound odd to buy a middle, but I wanted it to be as close to the exit as possible and there were no other seats available. The flight was landing on a minor secondary airport which has limited train connections so if I wanted to catch the best train, I'd have to run outside the plane and do passport control ASAP."
