Man Refuses To Switch Seats With Pregnant Woman on flight

A man received online praise for refusing to switch seats with a pregnant woman on an airplane. Michael Kelly, a Reddit user, recently shared that he was travelling alone to see family over the holidays and that he had chosen a seat carefully along the aisle, close to the lavatory.

“A woman asked me to give up my seat so she could sit closer to the lavatory just before we boarded. Despite being pregnant, she didn’t seem distressed,” he wrote.

“I did not feel it was fair to demand I move from the seat I planned for and paid for, especially since she apparently had not booked an aisle seat herself in advance,” he stated.

The social media user also stated that there were no empty aisle seats available to accommodate the pregnant woman’s request, and the flight attendants made no effort to assist in resolving the problem.

Instead of going on the flight, she ought to have reserved the seat she really wanted. It appears that she simply thought that since some people was moving, she wouldn’t have to pay for it. It is the flight attendants’ fault that they did not intervene. Regardless of your medical concerns, they ought to have told her to return to her seat at some point.

You paid for the seat. She didn’t.),” wrote one user. Because, as a pregnant woman, she felt entitled to it. That seemed like something she could take advantage of. As it turned out, though, she couldn’t. wrote another user.

AITA for not giving up my airline seat to a pregnant woman?
