One woman thought she was well prepared for her nine-hour flight by booking and paying for a seat by the window, which she was looking forward to.

The girl moved and is sitting in the middle, I'm in my seat and I'm also sitting back so she can see out the window. Her dad has made one or two snide remarks about me wanting my seat so I just wanted to know, am I the a**hole for insisting on sitting in my seat?" One fellow Reddit user advised: "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. If the father wanted their child to have a window seat, they should have selected on){kind=link}

When you have a long-haul flight you no doubt want to make things as bearable as possible – including picking a seat you’d be comfortable sitting in. One woman thought she was well prepared for her nine-hour flight by booking and paying for a seat by the window, which she was looking forward to.
