A mum who asked a fellow passenger to swap seats with her young daughter for a flight has been slammed for being "rude". The debate followed a request on a flight to Gran Canaria.
The Tui flight to the Spanish island holiday destination placed a mum in a seat behind her daughter. Many budget airlines charge separately to guarantee seats together or for extra luggage and meals.
One woman flying with the airline had paid an extra £22 so she could sit with her boyfriend but feels she was put in a difficult situation when a nearby mum asked her to swap seats. The mum wanted the woman to move so her daughter, who she claimed was afraid of flying, could sit next to her, Edinburgh Live reports. The mum was upset and "wasn't happy" about the couple refusing to move.
