Would you give up your premium seat on a plane for a lovestrucknewlywed couple?
Thats why one Redditor shelled out some serious cash for that extra legroom and comfort.
After all, comfort is key for such a long journey.
But what happens when a newlywed husband wants to swap seats to sit with his bride?
This is what our Redditor found out on his recent trip.
Shortly after boarding, a man approached the OP (original poster) with a request.
Well, not so fast.
Our protagonist did the polite thing and congratulated the newlywed.
Then, he asked his seatmate about the wifes location on the plane.
When he pointed toward the back, in economy, the OP politely declined to switch.
After all, he did pay good money to sit in premium.
This was no small amount, around $1,000.
So, the OP congratulated the man once again and put on his headphones.
Things got a bit tense when the husband muttered that our protagonist was being a jerk.
And he was not wrong.
Later, sharing the story with hiswife, our protagonist got an earful.
She thought he shouldve done the nice thing and switched seats.
One user said, NTA.
He was essentially asking you to pay for his wifes upgrade.
In essence, its all about making you feel like you owe them something, even when you dont.
Just like the situation the OP found himself in on his recent flight.
In this case, the OPs request for compensation was a reasonable counter to the husbands initial request.
In the end, flying is stressful enough without the added drama of seat swapping.
