A woman who had paid for an extra seat for comfort during a flight faced discomfort when a mother with an 18-month-old child requested her to vacate one seat. Refusing, she maintained she had paid for both seats. A flight attendant supported her decision, suggesting the mother hold the child in her lap. The mother, visibly upset, made the woman uncomfortable during the flight. Seeking opinions on Reddit, the woman wondered if she had been unfair. Responses varied, with many supporting her decision to retain the paid-for seat, emphasizing the mother should have purchased a seat for her child. Some expressed sympathy for both parties, acknowledging the challenges of flying with children. The incident highlights differing perspectives on airline etiquette and passenger rights.
