Man Refusing To Swap Seats With Pregnant Woman on 12-Hour Flight Backed (Newsweek.com)
A man who refused to give up his seat to a pregnant woman for a 12-hour flight has been backed for his decision after taking to the internet for advice.
The 28-year-old took to Reddit's AITA, [Am I The Ass Hole], on June 27 where he explained that, as a 6 foot four inches tall man, he paid for a seat with extra room for his long journey from New York City to Hawaii.
But just before take-off, he wrote, he was asked by a flight attendant if he would be willing to switch seats with a woman who was "visibly pregnant."
Despite being offered a refund for the difference in cost of the comfort seat, the man "politely declined," and no other passengers with extra room volunteered.
