I Paid for My Seat — I Refuse to Give It Up to a Spoiled Child

Long flights can be peaceful for some people, but for Sandra, things took an unexpected turn as she found herself defending her reserved window seat from a determined child. Standing her ground, she refused to give it up—yet what happened next was something she didn’t see coming.

This is what Sandra wrote to us: I booked a window seat, but the 7 y.o. girl next to me was crying; she wanted to look outside. Her dad asked me to switch, but I refused. He said, “You’re a grown woman but still very immature.” The girl kept shouting the whole flight.

At some point, the stewardess wanted me to come with her to the back. I froze when she told me if I wanted to give up my seat to the kid in return for an empty business class seat at the front.
