A woman who didn’t want to give her child a first-class seat because he wanted to sit with his mother on a plane asked the community if she was wrong. She posted on Reddit’s Am I The Aasshole Here section, where she discussed her experience.
She noted that her boyfriend surprised her by giving her first-class tickets, and she had flown higher than the average price of a plane before.
According to her, she was approached by a flight attendant and a woman with a child, who appeared to be around six years old.
The woman said that she had booked a premium first-class ticket for her son and herself, but an error resulted in him being placed in economy.
The Redditor who responded said that she felt awkward because the woman asked if she would be willing to swap seats.
I understand that it’s disappointing that the kid didn’t get to enjoy the experience of first-class, but I was really excited to be able to enjoy it.
The poster who responded explained that she politely declined the woman’s request, and she then tried to argue that it was unfair since she didn’t have the money to pay for the ticket.
The flight attendant reportedly seemed to side with the mom, and many people in the community were surprised by this.
Over 8,000 people voted for the top comment, which criticized the woman for trying to get a first-class seat at an economy price.
Many of the community members who responded said that the flight attendant should have known better.
They also noted that the woman could have sat in the back row and her child could have sat at the front.
