Man says service on flight was "abhorrent" after he refused to move for family

A man says air hostesses gave him "abhorrent service" after he refused to move seats on a plane so a family could sit together.

On his second 10-hour flight, the man says he paid extra for a seat at the front so he could have more legroom during the journey.

But he found himself in hot water after he refused to give up his seat to a family of six who was looking to sit together.

The passenger took to Reddit to ask for advice on whether he'd acted unreasonably after refusing to give the seat up.

In his account, he admitted that he was "pretty sure [he'd acted like] a**hole" but was keen to hear other opinions.

He wrote: "I paid a small amount extra for a seat that is in the front of the cabin - the coach seat that has a wall in front of it and extra legroom because it's my second leg in a 20-hour total trip.

"Two adults, two children (8ish?) and two infants would like to fill this row of four. Two adults with one infant each in the bassinet in front of them, and the two middle-schoolers. The attendant asked if I would move to a similar seat so they could sit together.

"I said, "but I paid extra for this seat." The response was that the other seat was the exact same, so sure. It was not the exact same. It was the same chair, aisle, and class, but it was not with the extra legroom. I said, "absolutely not."

"So one of the middle schoolers had to sit by themselves."

Describing what happened next, he said other passengers were shooting him looks for the rest of the flight.

He added: "Service on the flight for me was abhorrent in comparison to everyone around me," as he claimed staff "forgot" to serve him and seemed extra slow to respond to his requests.

But after sharing the story on Reddit, a lot of people felt that the man hadn't done anything wrong at all, and pointed out that staff could have handled it differently.

One person wrote: "You paid more and planned ahead. They didn't. Too many parents think the rest of us will just give them want they want even if they don't pay or plan for it."

"If the flight attendants had wanted to make it easier for the parents by you moving, they should have offered you a better seat. I bet there were a few open in first class," added another.

I say no. I wouldn't have moved either, especially if he paid extra for the seat. It would have been
nice for him to allow the family to sit together, but he's not obligated to accommodate them.

I know what's it's like having long legs on a plane. It can be very uncomfortable. In this instance I wouldn't
have moved either, and whoever was upset would just have to deal with it.

The way I'd put my headphones on and zone out without one fuck given while the rest of the cabin was in fumes.

No, and if he was given bad service I would sue or at the very least try to have someone fired

thie man did absolutely nothing wrong

even if he hadn't paid extra, he aint obligated to do SHIT. they knew they would be sitting separate when they booked the damn seats. THAT should have been the expectation and if someone allowed them the courtesy then cool. i just know they were white. the entitlement. like fckn EW.

he was right and the airline and flight attendant were wrong

these entitled ass families kill me

oh! can I sit here!? wanna be together!

not unless you're going to give me the extra money I paid for this seat

[ATLien]

He stayed in his pre-assigned seat that he paid for .

I see nothing wrong

Why didn't they just offer him a seat in first class? He already paid extra, he's have even more room and everyone would be happy.
Sorry, your ugly ass kids are not my concern, epecially not a 10 hour flight
