A MAN hasreceived support online after a stranger refused to swap a seat with him on a flight.
Zack Bornstein was on board a flight with his girlfriend when the duo were split up by the airline’s seating arrangement.
While Zack was given the aisle seat at check-in, his girlfriend had been placed in the window seat with a stranger sat in between the couple.
Zack, a writer and director, asked if the stranger would mind switching into either the window or the aisle seat, but he refused to move.
The boyfriend took to Twitter and said: “Losing my mind, just offered the aisle seat to the guy sitting between me and my girlfriend on a flight, and he said he’d rather stay in the middle seat between us.”;;
He also claimed to have offered the window seat to the stranger too.
Many people in the comments were baffled by the stranger’s actions with one person saying: “His behaviour is bizarre and frankly blatantly oppositional.”;;
Another person said: “My wife and I would make the middle seater’s life a living hell for that flight.”;;
While another passenger had a similar experience in the comments: “An elderly couple shared an entire cheese plate over me on a flight to Miami a few years ago.
“I offered to switch but no, she had to have the window, he the aisle.”;;
But many users online weren’t in support of the couple’s actions with one person saying: “Not that staying in the middle seat isn’t insane but why didn’t you book your seats together?
Another person added: “I hate that couples think they can just pick and choose whomever they want to move around the plane. Like no, buy your seat, don’t bother me.”;;
This isn’t the first time switching seats on an aircraft has caused problems between passengers.
A couple divided opinion online after they refused to move seats for a woman’s daughter who was “scared of flying”;;.
Meanwhile a mum has revealed how to get passengers to swap seatsduring a flight.
