[quote=Anonymous]This thread was a great read.  Just came back from Europe and a family with older children, 10 and up, held up the plane until people moved.  They also just took another passenger's seat and made her switch.  She was really nice about it and offered to sit in a middle seat across the aisle. Then the Dad tries to switch with her.  She says yes and the Dad insists that the woman in the aisle give up her seat.  Very rude and disruptive.

I would give up my seat for a Mom traveling alone with a young child.  I would also give up a seat for a comparable seat.  Middle for middle or aisle for aisle.  Pretty flexible if I am traveling alone.  If I am with my family, no way unless there are dire circumstances.

On my last trip I was extremely ill.  Told the flight attendants who basically shrugged their shoulders as did the guy with the aisle seat in my row. Made him get up around 6-8 times on an 8 our flight.  Apologized and told him I was ill.  He could have had my window seat but did not want to move.  Understand but I might have offered to switch for someone.  I don't hold it against him that he didn't.  He was nice enough.  [/quote]
