On a flight, window seats are always in high demand. And, unless it’s an absolute emergency, most of us wouldn’t want to swap seats. But what happens when we are in a situation where we might be mocked? This is u/Reddit Sillymau’s story. He posted a thread on r/AITA about his flight from San Francisco to New York City. “Months ago, I booked a JetBlue flight from San Francisco to NYC and realized I had accumulated enough points over the years to purchase a first-class seat for free,” the OP explained!

I could choose my seat, and I always chose the window.” So far, the post does not appear to be riddled with problems. It was his decision to legally relocate his seats, and he did so. However, on the day of his flight, he discovered that a lady with her children had been assigned the seats next to him. As it turned out, the lady wanted OP to give up his seat so her child could look out the window.

According to OP’s admission, he would have done so if this had been an economy seat. But he didn’t want to use his frequent flyer miles to fly first class, which he had planned ahead of time. Needless to say, the lady was irritated while her child screamed. Nonetheless, OP refused to budge. All of this resulted in an uncomfortable flight throughout, with the mother attempting to guilt-trip OP.

Reddit User Doesn’t Want To Swap Window Seats Because He Spent All His Frequent Flyer Miles on It. “I might be an a****** for refusing to give my first class window seat to a kid but at the same time, every passenger has the option to choose their seats in advance and if she wanted the window seat for her kid, she should have reserved it in advance. Plus, her kids are flying first class! Some people never get to fly first class in their lifetime!”

r/AITA came to a conclusion in no time. Everyone understands the value of a window seat- and most of us would never give it up. u/PJfanRI wrote, “You paid for your ticket and selected your seat based on your preferences. I have no problem with the mother asking for you to make the switch, but once you said no it should have been the end of it. Frankly the fact her child threw a tantrum because they couldn’t get your seat tells me you can teach her a thing or two about saying now.”
