An airline passenger has turned to the subreddit ‘Entitled People‘ to express his amazement over what happened on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver that he was on.

Without giving it much thought, the man agreed; however, he then learned that he had todowngrade to economy.

This wasn’t the first seat war that the man had to fight

We got in touch with the Redditor who made this post and he agreed to tell us more about the whole ordeal. “I don’t think she thought [her offer] was a fair trade; I think she thought she could get away with it, playing the poor innocent ‘Oh, I don’t understand!’ card with an older, kinder-looking gentleman,” Canada11235813 toldBored Pandaabout the confrontation with the woman.

The man said he has been asked to and asked himself to swap seats many times, and these requests are often reasonable. For example, one time, he approached another business class passenger because he needed a power outlet and his own wasn’t working: “The person didn’t mind, and swapped which was very helpful to me,” the Redditor recalled. “Another time, I was in an aisle next to a guy whose wife was across the aisle. Would I mind changing? Of course not.”

So “if the husband’s seat had been anywhere in the business cabin, I’d have been happy to trade with him,” the author of the post highlighted. “It would’ve been a better seat if window, or the same if center-column. I’d just gotten to my seat; would’ve been zero effort on my part to swap, and why not be a nice guy? In fact, I even offered to move anywhere in the business cabin to help her out. Of course, nobody else was going to swap seats with 18B, but feel free to find me any seat in business and I’ll take it.”

The Redditor said he then switched to Spanish, and “they were horrified and mumbling and angry, but got up and moved.”

Experts think it’s reasonable to ask someone to switch seats if you need to sit next to your young kids or an elderly relative, but otherwise, not so much

“Switching seatson a plane can sometimes be a tricky situation,” Carla Bevins, who teaches business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University,toldUSA Today.

She thinks there are some instances where you absolutely may not switch seats. And the first examples she mentioned were when you are in a different service class, sitting in an exit row, or when the fasten seat belts sign is illuminated.

You can try thinking of it as going to adinner partyand someone has a card with your name on it on the table. And instead of sitting in the place you were assigned, you toss the card and plop yourself down wherever you want. Impolite.

Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, an etiquette expert, agrees that you don’t have to play along.

“If someone asks you to switch seats, you are not obligated to do so or even consider it,” she told the same publisher. “You have the right to decline – politely, of course.”

Her pro tip for when the other passenger wants to know why you won’t move is to remember that you don’t have to explain yourself. “You may say something like, ‘I prefer to stay where I am,'” she said.

Airlines could possibly end all the seat-switching if they allowed their passengers to choose their seats without hitting them up for extramoney.

But until anything like this happens, it’s usually best to just stick to your own seat.
