Would you move seats to allow families sit together on flights?

I wouldn't have a problem swapping if it was for a genuine reason. In their case though, the guy said he'd move when he realised she was travelling with kids. When when cabin staff arrive, she calls him a 'f***** particular piece of s**t'

You wouldn't get my arse off that seat to swap after that. The only ones acting like 't**ts' are these self entitled muppets

Nope, I've heard the name ok, but never even saw it advertised in any of the Country's I've worked in, let alone shown on TV. But how do you link it to my comment?? Fly with PIA and i what happened to me is a pretty common occurrence.

Who told you I paid extra for a specific seat? That's untrue, rebuke them and tell them to stop pulling your leg and making a fool out of you on the internet. As I said, I was travelling alone I moved for families with small kids so that they could fly together and will do again

Ah, you must have mistakenly quoted me then.

In future make sure to take care when quoting people and ensure you've quoted the right person, I never gave out about people like you who pay extra or pre book a seat. You're just confusing the thread and misrepresenting people. As I said, when travelling alone I will happily move for families with small kids so that they could fly together and will do again. I hope you'll do the same and someone else will and other people will do for you when you're travelling with family.

happy flying and be nice, don't make a fuss, it's just a flight, like being on a bus, no big deal, you'll get used to it in time.

In all of the times I've either been asked to move seats or seen someone asked to move seats, I have never seen the 'asker' offer money to the 'askee'.

They could have specifically paid for that seat to avoid the middle, be closer to the back for quick exit etc.

Nope, I never mentioned anyone paying extra for a particular seat. Sorry, wrong person.

I (unlike you) have been politely asked and I moved. Nobody was hurt or injured, I don't have a fragile ego so I wasn't upset.

Flight is hilarious. You'd swear people booked a box in Teatro All Scala. It's a bus with wings get over yourselves.

It’s a comfort thing.

if I book a seat I expect to sit in it, the actual one I booked.

if I get to a free un reserved seat I expect to stay in it… first come first served.

I have moved from time to time. But it really depends on the way it is asked, the seat I am being asked to swap to, the journey and the mood I am in. I am not tall but I do have a tendency to get up and take a stroll from time to time on long haul flights (Also, small bladder 😀) so I look for an outside seat so that I am not climbing over somebody. I would not swap my edge seat for an inner seat. However if they want to shift people around so that I would be on an equivalent seat and asked nicely, then yeah. These things happen.

I would not expect to be DEMANDED to leave my seat for an inferior seat.

paid 240euro to book emergency exit seats to las vegas in few months for me and girlfriend, not a hope would i move for anybody after paying that.

I think it’s a little harsh that people who don’t want to give up their comfort and seat and by doing so in addition….will have to start scrambling along the aisle of an aircraft, during boarding , looking for a free seat and to possibly re-stow bags.. get labeled as self centred ?

self centred I’d say is taking something from and inconveniencing people who did no more then book, show up and sit in the seat they selected and maybe paid extra for.

if I’m travelling with children I’m simply selecting seats and purchasing seats at the time I purchase the ticket… I won’t be inconveniencing myself or fellow passengers..

that’s being considerate of others.

I'm a tall dude, so I'll book a window seat that has lots of legroom. Unless the seat that they wanted to swap also had lots of legroom, then nope, won't be moving.

But in that question it would have been a straight swap of aisle seats wheras they wanted him to sit at the window?

flying these days is often an ordeal, between security screening, long walks to gates, boarding and all associated queuing… so to be expected to get up again by some shower of €#@* and expected to get up and look for another seat ? NO ! 🤪

Who is this wan?

I'd tell her to go teh feck.
