“I want your seat to be closer to my family”
“Why didn’t you pay extra for a seat near them?”
“I didn’t want it that much”.
“I want your seat to be closer to my family”
Brings back memories. A guy was sitting in the aisle seat that I had reserved and paid for. He wanted to sit next to his wife in MY seat. Long story, but he threatened the stewardess (I understand that’s illegal), and was given a choice to move /behave, or the Captain would produce handcuffs until the local police removed him.
When they booked, they couldn’t find enough seats close together so he bought separated seats and hoped the flight attendants and other passengers could accommodate his request. I’ve seen this many times and have accommodated such requests as long as I wasn’t going to move to a grossly inferior seat — back of cabin, next door to lavatories, middle seat, etc.
