Entitled Couple Took My Premium Seat on the Plane – I Taught Them a Lesson and Turned It into a Profit
On a recent flight, an entitled couple tricked me into giving up my premium aisle seat. The woman demanded I swap seats to sit with her “husband,” but I remained calm and handed over my boarding pass.
Later, I learned from a flight attendant that the couple had lied—they were supposed to be in economy. I turned the tables by speaking to the chief purser, who offered me airline miles or my seat back. I chose the miles, which were worth more, and later saw the couple confronted for violating airline policy. They were placed on a no-fly list, and it was revealed they were having an affair.
As I left the plane, I felt satisfied watching their smugness turn into anger and embarrassment. True victory is watching those who think they’ve won realize they’ve lost.
