Tammy Nelson, the CEO of global jewellery brand CONQUERing, decided she would not go along with the suggested swap after stepping onto a Delta Airlines flight from Cincinnati, Ohio to San Jose, California. The business boss was asked by another woman whether she'd trade places with her, so she could sit next to her two kids. Tammy then realised the woman was already sat in her seat.

'When I confirmed I was looking at the correct seat, I thought she must have just mistakenly sat in the wrong seat. So I said, 'I'm sorry but it seems you're in my seat', thinking she would realise it and move." She says the woman then asked, "Oh, you want to sit here?". Tammy continued: 'I was pretty surprised at the question but replied simply saying, 'Yes, that's the seat I selected'." The woman then explained that she was with her two kids who were sitting in the seats next to her window seat, and that she thought swapping would be no problem.

I often try to get a little sleep on planes which is easiest with a window seat,' she explained in a TikTok video. "On that particular day, I only had 90 minutes of sleep the night before. And I was headed into a high-pressure work week where I would be presenting to 500 people and really needed to be at my very best so getting a little sleep on that flight was extra-important."
