I Paid for My Seat — I Refuse to Give It Up to a Spoiled Child

Long flights can be peaceful for some people, but for Sandra, things took an unexpected

turn as she found herself defending her reserved window seat from a determined child.

Standing her ground, she refused to give it up—yet what happened next was something she didn’t see coming.

This is what Sandra wrote to us:

I booked a window seat, but the 7 y.o. girl next to me was crying; she wanted to look outside.

Her dad asked me to switch, but I refused.

He said, “You’re a grown woman but still very immature.”

The girl kept shouting the whole flight.

At some point, the stewardess wanted me to come with her to the back.

I froze when she told me if I wanted to give up my seat to the kid in return for an empty business class seat at the front.

I couldn’t believe it!

Without hesitation, I said yes. I gathered my things and moved to my new, much more comfortable seat.

In the end, things worked out in my favor-the spoiled kid got her way, and I got an upgrade.

But I stand by my decision.

I paid for a window seat, and I don’t believe I should have given it up for anyone, even a child.

What do you think? Was I wrong?
