A woman recently found herself in an uncomfortable situation during a flight when she was assigned a middle seat between a couple who had booked the aisle and window seats in the same row. This common travel strategy aims to leave the middle seat vacant for extra space. If someone does occupy it, couples usually offer to trade seats so they can still sit together.
However, this particular couple did not offer to switch seats. Instead, they continued their conversation over the woman seated between them and passed food and drinks across her space, even using her laptop as a makeshift table.
The passenger described her experience on social media: "I’m on a flight sitting in an economy plus middle seat in between husband and wife who purchased the aisle and window seat." She further detailed, "They’re just passing chips and drinks over me having a full conversation, meanwhile the guy in front of me pushed his seat so far back I can’t open my laptop and the WiFi doesn’t work."
