‘Sometimes, little acts make large impacts’: Airline passengers share times they actually got rewarded for giving up their seats on a flight

While traveling, many passengers pay extra to book a more convenient seat. Usually the aisle seat, window seat, or a seat with more leg room. This cost extra and thus, the paying customer is entitled to that exact seat. However, often times you get the dreaded moment when someone asks if you can switch them seats. The acceptable way to do this is if you have the more convenient seat and offer to switch it in order to sit next to the person you want. Very rarely is it okay to ask to switch with someone when they have the convenient seat and you have the dreaded middle seat. 

 

However, there are some exceptions that some kind strangers take into account and make the whole world of traveling kinder. For instance, if someone broke their leg and didn't have time to book a new seat and truly just can't get to the middle seat. So now you have to switch your aisle seat for them to be more comfortable. You could make a stink about it, or you could help them out, like one of the guys below, and get rewarded.
