Traveler refuses to give up the window seat she paid extra for to a woman who wants to sit next to her boyfriend: ‘It’s not just about being nice. I paid extra for that seat’

• AITA for not giving up my window seat on a flight just because someone wanted to sit next to their boyfriend?

• Predictably, this sense of order was shattered by a young woman who must believe assigned seating is just a loose suggestion, like “wait until you exit the plane to stand up.” She was already perched in someone else’s spot, all smiles and hope, ready to guilt-trip a stranger into swapping a carefully chosen window for a row in purgatory, also known as the middle seat. 

  When the window seat’s rightful owner held firm, the disappointment rolled in. Mutters. Side-eye. Passive-aggressive commentary upon landing. And, of course, support from friends who must think “being nice” to strangers means giving up any semblance of comfort or sanity you paid for. The price of flying is not just money, but a willingness to absorb other people’s poor planning.
