She Didn’t Let A Mom Take Her Window Seat On A Plane To Entertain Her Kid
Air travel can be exhausting, even when everything goes smoothly. When you’ve spent extra money to secure a specific seat, especially one that helps manage anxiety, it’s not just a convenience; it’s part of how you make the trip bearable.
So, when she boarded her international flight, she was ready to settle into her prepaid spot and distract herself with the view. Instead, she was met with an entitled mom who tried to take her seat from her.
This 26-year-old woman recently took an international trip to see her family members. She hasn’t seen them in years, so she was excited.
Since the flight alone took 12 hours and she gets anxious in the air, she paid extra money to have a window seat.
Gazing out over the clouds helps to relax her and gives her other things to hone in on aside from being nervous.
“When I boarded, there was a woman (maybe early 30s) already sitting in my seat with her 3-year-old in the middle seat,” she explained.
“She asked if I’d be ‘a sweetheart’ and take her aisle seat instead so she could have the window for her child to ‘look out and be calm.'”
“I politely said, ‘Sorry, I actually booked this seat for a reason,’ and showed her my boarding pass. She huffed and said, It’s just a seat, be kind and told me she thought ‘most people wouldn’t mind helping a mom.'”
She once more informed the mom that she had paid more money for that particular seat by the window, and she really wished to sit there.

One of the flight attendants actually came to her rescue and made the mom move back to the seat she had booked.
The mom did listen to the flight attendant, but in the process, she caused a scene. She loudly sighed and proclaimed to her kid that sometimes, people are mean.
But how is it mean to want to get on a plane and sit in the seat that you paid for?
“The rest of the flight, I could feel people giving me side eyes, and when we landed, a man in the row behind me said, ‘Hope the view was worth making a kid cry,'” she added.
“Now I feel kind of awful. I didn’t want to make her trip harder, but I also paid specifically for that seat and planned for it months in advance.”
Do you think she was wrong to deny this mom the window seat for her toddler?
