How many times are you asked to changes seats so someone can
sit together? On an hour and forty minute flight last week, I was
asked this three times and yes, all on the same flight!!!
First, let me remind people (or possibly tell people who don’t know me)
that I am 6’2”. I am very selective
about my seats. I very much enjoy exit
row aisles and at times, on the right plane, bulkhead. Keep in mind, that I have earned the status
to select these seats as well. Lastly,
the only time you will see me “opt” for the window is when I am travelling with
my husband who is at least 4 inches taller than me and enjoys the aisle as
well.
So, to be asked three times to give up my exit row seat, seems
like a huge ask. First reason, the
girlfriend wanted to sit by the boyfriend.
Declined. Second reason, the
woman next the requester had a dog and they were looking for anyone to change
seats. Declined, however, I did feel for
this guy because I have allergies as well and that’s a pain! Third request, the guy just had knee surgery
and would appreciate the extra space.
(Hello…its emergency exit…I don’t want someone with a brace in those
seats!) Declined.
Trust, there are situations in which I will trade seats, but
it would have to be pretty compelling. I
wonder how much of this is caused by the airlines not giving out seats readily
and people are having to deal with all this “stuff” at the airport or worse,
while on the plane. Either way, I like
my seat, that’s why I chose it! So,
while happily sitting in my exit row aisle, I will keep going!
