[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. In order to answer tge question many are aaking about whether I paid extra for the seat, i have to reveal that i was the pregnant lady in this scenario. I framed the post differently to [b]avoid the nastiness and ridicule [/b]about me being nervous as a FTM on my first flight pregnant, and wanting to sit next to DH.
So, i dont know if the guy paid extra for the seat but I didn't -- i iust "lucked into it," as a PP said. So perhaps he did, too.

Also, as soon as we realized that we were not seated totether, we tried to change it at both check-in AND at the gate, and both times we were advised to just ask a fellow passenger to switch.

Obviously, i feel that the guy was not required to change seats, but that it would have been the classy and kind thing to do. I certainly would have done it if i had been asked.

Okay as to your scenario revision in your original post - it's an odd, but harmless manipulation - but this post is nastily manipulative. And as for the man who's the focus of your ire: he had very likely paid extra for his seat, the extra legroom was obviously important to him, and he was polite in declining your husband's request. Just because people ask doesn't mean they're owed a positive response. You do know that, don't you? And about the couple who were traveling together - why no anger at them for refusing to switch seats with you? Why do they get the free pass? The logic that decides the lone passenger isn't "classy" for giving up his seat should condemn them, as well. [/quote]

I'm late to the party here, in that I'm just now realizing that the OP is actually the pregnant woman in question. So, OP, can you explain what exactly you were nervous about during the flight? How pregnant are you? [/quote]
