On recent travel, passengers on planes have noticed that three separate individuals have almost switched between separate seats three times. Are there too many requests to switch seats on one flight, relying on the question?
On a subreddit known as R/UnitedAirlines, users referenced recent flights with little ability to change multiple seats and reject requests.
“I was going to visit San Juan’s family…and I treated myself to a seat in the first class window on the left side of the plane. Passenger, “u/makeurownsandwich.”
Flight passengers say travelers paid $100 to replace their seats because they felt “claustrophobia”
“When I arrived at my seat there was a very elderly woman in the aisle seat, and another woman along the way there was,” the person wrote. “The young woman said, ‘This is my mother. She has dementia and can’t even feed herself. Can I take care of her while flying?” ”
Passengers quickly moved to another seat.

Just a moment later, two other women approached the same flyer and asked me to move again. They asked passengers to move to aisle seats so that the two women could sit together.
“At that point, I was on sight, but when I saw my ass barely touching my new aisle seat, I told them ‘anything’ and moved,” said the flight passenger. continued.

The Reddit writer then went on to say, “A third party came to me and started “Hello, um.” I immediately said, “I’ve already switched twice. You can take it up with someone else.”
Passengers admitted they could have refused to switch each time, but they resonated with such circumstances and said they wanted to deal with others.

“I know I chose to move for these people, but I’m very angry because I paid for that particular window seat. My options are basically dementia. Help the women, but please enjoy my views. Passengers wrote.
Other Reddit users joined the conversation and shared their controversial thoughts on sheet hopping.

“Don’t make sure other people’s problems don’t become yours,” one user commented. “Sit in your assigned seat. If people need accommodation, they can take it up with the FAS (flight attendant).”
The original user replied, “It’s because empathy comes from people who are moving. But how about showing empathy and gratitude in return when you ask someone to move?”

“They could have switched her to another seat next to their caregivers. They never want to switch,” another Reddit user shares, referring to the initial request to change seats I’m doing it.
“I refuse 100% of the time,” the same person pointed out. “I wasn’t used to it. It happens too often now and people are very entitled to the seats you paid for. I’m done. I’ll never switch again.”
“I’m done. I’ll never switch again.”
Another person on social media said, “When you book, choose a seat you’ll be with, or book another flight. The eligibility for these people is amazing.”
California-based etiquette expert and trainer Rosa Linda Randall shared her insights on high-flying seat changers.

“No matter how true it is, using a tragic story doesn’t give you the right to expect people to accept your demands,” Randall said.
