The first NTA comment. Most people agree with them that they paid for the seat so obviously they get the right to it.

She definitely felt entitled to her seat. Ridiculous.

It's ridiculous for her to demand that because her baby is younger, that they deserve the seat, but newborns typically are easier on flights than older babies.

People are coming in hot with information and details.
"Good for you" sounds about right.
Wait, shoe got mad at the flight attendant too?
Everyone is saying that the OP is NTA and had the right to use the seat.
Period, point blank.
More perspectives on the situation.
Why do people think thy can just take seats?
Basically everyone is saying that she's ridiculous for thinking she was entitled to OP's seat.
Yep, because it was definitely emotional manipulation.
Great quote.
Yesss, exactly, what they said.
I mean they did pay for the seat. This person says that it's rude to ask to switch seats in general. Just sit where you're supposed to.
Very presumptuous for her to just sit there knowing it wasn't her seat.
One commenter says they're NTA but OP replies saying this. What do you think?
This situation actually has people all saying he's not the asshole. Most people are agreeing with this person and say that they were in the right.
I mean, this couple did pay for the seats and the woman did not. It was definitely unfair that she made it seem like her baby and herself were more important than the couple.
How do you feel about this situation? Would you have done the same thing or would you have taken your seats back?
