How to deal with frightful airline seatmates |
Q: I’m a mature woman who travels regularly on business, and this just happened to me once too often. On my last flight, an annoying couple plopped down next to me, and immediately began to ask all kinds of questions about myself. If the unpleasantness happens on an overseas or cross-continent flight, you have the right to be moved to another seat. On all airline flights, there are seats in the back for flight crews to use. If you had explained that your experience was extremely unpleasant, the attendants should have allowed you to sit there. If the attendants don’t cooperate, after your flight report them to the airline’s consumer relations department. |
