One other seat swapper strikes once more as a flight passenger is sharing her first expertise with “seat swap shenanigans.”

Posting within the “r/delta” discussion board on Reddit, a person wrote that she and her husband had been on a “long-haul flight” prompting them to improve to comfort-plus in a “2-3-2 configuration. “

“We each got an aisle seat with someone seated between us, so my husband decided to offer to switch his aisle seat with the fellow in between,” the lady wrote.

“Here’s where the strange part comes in,” she added. 

“Fellow in the middle is happy to swap, but then he wants me to swap with his wife, so they won’t be separated. I declined because where would that leave me?”

An airline passenger declined a deceptive seat swap request that may have downgraded her from consolation plus to financial system, she stated.  (iStock)

The girl stated that if she accepted the provide, she would have ended up in an financial system seat.

“Dude went back to economy and found someone to switch with [him] so he could be with his wife. I guess he upgraded to C+ middle and hoped to pull a fast one,” the person stated.

Redditors took to the feedback part to debate the seat-swapping phenomenon and share their very own flying experiences.

“Here’s a wacky idea that could work in 99% of the seat-swap posts I see here,” stated one person. 

“Buy the seat you want and sit there. If the seat you want isn’t available anymore, buy the best option and sit there.”

FLIGHT PASSENGER STANDS FIRM AGAINST ENTITLED SEAT SWAPPER’S DEMANDS: ‘I’M NOT MOVING’

The identical person continued, “If you can’t be separated from your traveling companion for the length of a flight, drive.”

“We [have] offered to swap more as a courtesy to the person in the middle than as a necessity of sitting together,” commented one individual.

“If you can’t be separated from your traveling companion for the length of a flight, drive,” joked one person. (iStock)

One other Redditor wrote, “Nice that it worked out.”

“I would never ask someone to switch seats,” stated yet one more individual. 

One person on the platform wrote, “Just got home from a long weekend solo trip. Trip out, I offered to swap seats with the husband so he could sit with his wife. They were happy. I was happy.”

“Today’s [flight attendant] asked if I would swap so an older couple could sit together,” the identical individual continued. 

“Yup, no problem. I will admit that it was my first time treating myself to first class, so a first-class-to-first-class swap was not punishment, but as a solo traveler, I was happy to help couples sit together.”

One individual on Reddit (not pictured) wrote, “Just got home from a long weekend solo trip. Trip out, I offered to swap seats with the husband so he could sit with his wife. They were happy. I was happy.” (iStock)

One other person wrote, “I feel like a lot of the seat-swap drama posts are fake (or at least heavily played up) or … [they’re] just assuming the illest of wills when folks really aren’t trying to scam someone.”

“Have a compelling reason that will resonate.”

“The person making the request has no right to expect [this] or make a scene when they don’t get their way,” she stated. “It is one’s prerogative to make requests, as it is also the prerogative of the one being asked to deny a request.”

She added, “Sometimes such requests make us roll our eyes in disbelief. But there are people who don’t often fly, have a fear, a language barrier, or a very pushy spouse or boyfriend who forces them to make absurd requests.”
