As more people opt to travel by plane,air travelbecomes more and more exhausting.
One Redditor shared an old-schoolair travel storyabout how their mother dealt with an entitled passenger.
The mandemanded an aisle seatbut decided to be rude about it.
The first thing to keep in mind is not to cause a scene.
Be polite and respectful when you both approach and speak to the person you are asking, Meier explains.
Approach with a friendly demeanor and use polite language.
A smile and a just go a long way.
Communicating your reason why you wish to switch seats is important, too.
Third, Meier says, try offering something in return a comparable or better seat option.
If none of the above works, theres nothing else you could really do.
Its good manners to accept No graciously, Meier believes.
Some airlines now train their employees in conflict resolution.
They also are key in providing assistance for everything from meals to issues onboard and keeping passengers comfortable.
They help with seating, answer questions, and assist with special needs.
Flight attendants are also typically the best person to speak to when passengers have conflicts.
They are supposed to resolvedisputes between passengersdiplomatically and as fast as possible, Meier explains.
However, that doesnt mean that passengers can be rude to flight attendants or gate agents.
