HT6. Entitled couple stole my premium plane seat but I taught them a lesson

I was comfortably settled in my aisle seat enjoying the extra legroom, when a couple rudely approached. The woman, exuding entitlement, demanded, “You need to switch seats with me. I messed up the booking and won’t sit away from my husband.”

A passenger who was on a flight recently took to Reddit to share a story about an entitled couple who wanted her first class seat although they had tickets for economy, but she taught them a lesson they would never forget.

Namely, the woman posting on the forum explained that she had booked a premium aisle seat with extra legroom. However, just as she had settled in, a woman dressed in designer clothes, looking all stylish and wealthy, approached OP with an air of entitlement, claiming that she had booked the wrong seat by mistake and demanded to be seated next to her husband and rudely requested she changed seats with OP.

OP was stunned by the woman’s arrogance, and she reluctantly agreed to move to a cramped middle seat in row 12.

Still, she kept it cool because she had a plan.

Meanwhile, a flight attendant who witnessed the entire situation approached OP and told her that she had been tricked by the couple who were in fact both assigned to row 12.

However, instead of making a scene, OP reported the incident to the chief purser without fuss.

After reviewing the situation, the airline offered OP to get back to her seat or to accept a compensation of frequent flyer miles, enough to upgrade her next three flights. She chose the latter and was in fact satisfied with the outcome, knowing she turned the situation in her favor.

As the flight was coming to an end, the purser confronted the couple and exposed their deceit in front of the rest of the passengers.

The couple, who weren’t even married but apparently had an affair, were escorted to the back of the plane and informed that they would be placed on a no-fly list.
