During a recent 5+ hour flight to visit family, I was asked by a pregnant passenger to give up my aisle seat near the bathroom.
I empathized with her, but I also have medical issues that require quick restroom access, which is why I specifically booked and paid extra for that seat.
Despite explaining this, the flight attendants offered no help, and there were no other aisle seats available.
My family believed I should have given up my seat, but I couldn’t help feeling it was unfair to expect me to sacrifice my needs. Was I wrong to stand my ground, or was I justified in keeping the seat I paid for?
