[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on a flight recently. I was sitting in coach, in an aisle seat, in one of the rows with seats that have just a tad more leg room (they're called 'premium' or economy plus or something like that). A pregnant woman was sitting next to me.  Turns out that her husband was a few rows back; for some reason they didn't have seats together. The husband, who was also in an aisle seat, said to me something like, 'excuse me, would you mind switching seats with me so that i can sit with my wife? this is her first flight pregnant.'  I pointed to my legs and said apologetically, "this seat has extra leg room...."  The husband said, 'oh okay' and went back to his seat.  What do you think? Was it kind of jerky to me not to move?  The flight was about 2 hours.[/quote]

I think so, yes.  It was two hours out of your life and I'm sure that woman would have appreciated sitting next to her husband.  Think twice next time and try to be more considerate.[/quote]

I disagree with this, and especially the last snarky comment.  Why didn't the woman offer to move back to sit with her husband?  Answer - she was sitting in a row with more leg room, and didn't want to give it up - I'm sure whomever was in the middle seat next to her husband would have gladly taken a seat with extra room.  If she really wanted to sit next to her husband, she could have moved, but thought the extra room was more important.  Why doesn't the same apply to the OP (whether s/he paid extra for the seat or not)?

Note - my answer woudl have been different if is was a parent asking to sit next to a child.  But these are two adults - I view that as totally different.  [/quote]

I am the PP you are attacking and hey dipshit, OP already said multiple times that the two people sitting next to her husband were traveling together and the man sitting next to her was alone.  Do try to keep up before you spout off, okay?[/quote]
