A woman, let’s call her Hillary, found herself in the middle of a tearful exchange with a young girl named Alice when she requested her to vacate the window seat she had booked on a flight. Now, she turns to the online community to seek judgment on her decision.
The Emotional Journey
In her post, the 22-year-old traveler expressed her emotional state, having just said her difficult goodbyes to her family.
Finding Joy in the Little Things
Hillary looked forward to enjoying the window seat she had reserved for the 8-9 hour flight.
A Surprise Encounter
Hillary encountered Alice already sitting at the window spot, accompanied by her father in the middle seat.
Wishful Thinking
Expecting the father to accommodate her rightful seat, Hillary pointed out her booking, hoping for a resolution.
A Reluctant Father
To her surprise, the father refused to move Alice, since she’s just a child trying to enjoy herself.

He suggested Hillary take the adjacent aisle seat instead, leaving her angry.
Seeking Fatherly Advice
Seeking advice, Hillary told her father on a phone call, who insisted that the child’s father should respect her paid reservation and give up the seat.
Taking a Stand
Encouraged by her father’s words, Hillary found the courage to approach the girl’s father and request that Alice be relocated.
Opening the Waterworks
Alice burst into tears when asked to give up her spot.
Finding a Solution
Overwhelmed with guilt, Hillary adjusted her own position so that Alice could still enjoy a partial view of the window.
She’s Not at Fault
This user suggests that the child’s father had no right to refuse the seat, but could have given himself more of a chance, “the child’s father should have been polite to up their chances.”
A second user flat out informed Hillary that she was not to blame, “You bought a seat to be able to use it, and the father in this situation knew that the seat he put his child in wasn’t theirs to use.”
