The woman got into a lot of trouble because she had booked an extra seat on the flight for her own pleasure. A passenger with an 18-month-old child asked the woman to give up one of her seats, but the woman kindly said no. For her own comfort, she said that she had paid for both seats and needed the extra room.
Not everyone agreed with the woman when she told her story on Reddit. Some people agreed with her and said she had every right to protect her space and the place she had paid for. Some people thought she should have been more helpful and been willing to give up her seat for the mother and kid.
This event ultimately serves as a lesson that everyone has different wants and needs when they travel, and that it can be hard but necessary to find a balance between our own comfort and the needs of others.
