airport flight seating seats wife plane aisle passenger entitled middle flights airplane entitled people flying - 22325509

'Grandpa...asks me to switch my aisle seat to a middle seat': Entitled man demands anxious flyer give up their seat so he can sit next to his wife

Who deserves the aisle seat while flying? The answer is the person who paid for it… usually. However, this anxious flyer got asked to give up their seat for a different one, and they weren't happy about how the interaction played out. If you get anxious while flying, you're not alone. It's like an endurance test, with one stressful situation after another. First you have to book your trip, which is usually simple enough. But on the day of your flight, you have to get to the airport with several…

'Either you pay 50€ or you somehow make the luggage 50g lighter': Passenger has to make bag lighter to check luggage, maliciously complies by eating chocolate

'Either you pay 50€ or you somehow make the luggage 50g lighter': Passenger has to make bag lighter to check luggage, maliciously complies by eating chocolate

Airport security is full of arbitrary rules. Having to pay ridiculous fees in order to make your luggage ever so slightly lighter is just one of many. Let's not forget that there is also all the TSA nonsense, and sometimes, the rules are wildly different depending on the airport. Sometimes you have to put all your bags in one cart, sometimes you have to separate everything, and sometimes they're so backed up that no one has to take their shoes off (which makes you question the effectiveness of…

'The golden rule of flying': Airline passenger gets surprise upgrade for being kind and patient, while fellow passengers who Karen-ed him get secretly downgraded

'The golden rule of flying': Airline passenger gets surprise upgrade for being kind and patient, while fellow passengers who Karen-ed him get secretly downgraded

You might have heard from a wise person once that the golden rule of life is: “Don't be a jerk." Well, we agree with that person and is applies to many other life experiences. For example, flying. When you are going on a trip and have to fly, going to the airport can be stressful for everyone involved. You don't know the situation of each passenger or employee. So, it's best to approach it with kindness and patience, or else everybody, including yourself, is going to have a bad time. A perfect…

‘Surgeon smiled and told me not to worry’: Surgeon grants patient 18 months' worth of business-class flights, amounting to $20,000 in company expenses

‘Surgeon smiled and told me not to worry’: Surgeon grants patient 18 months' worth of business-class flights, amounting to $20,000 in company expenses

If you comply with company rules, then you're all set and good to go, right? Well, not always. Sometimes your circumstances change, and what I mean by that is there can be a metamorphosis, a transformation, from old, to new, to ugly. In even simpler terms, new authority sucks. One person got a set of instructions, hot off the press, that didn't resemble the instructions they were used to in the past, and those instructions led to a whole lot of cash being extracted from company expenses. u/Impo…

'I very much doubt he made his flight': Dude is rude to airport security, they select him for a thorough search

Being rude to people in customer service is only going to make your life more difficult, and it's really not a good idea to tempt someone who has the federal-granted authority to give everything you own—including your own person—a very thorough search. Further, if you're being overly aggressive and disruptive, you may be detained or banned from flying ever again altogether—which would be mightily more inconvenient than waiting for a disgruntled agent to rifle through your bag. But—hey—flying ca…
