The air staff themselves sometimes aid and abet this nonsense. The one time it happened to me, I was too ill and exhausted to argue so I quietly went to look for an empty seat. I had chosen a prime window seat in the middle row, but when I boarded, the air hostess said it's 'free seating' or whatever. I was so pissed
My anger is why not announce the free seating while Im buying the ticket or during check in

I just love my windows seat cos I love to sleep all through the flight. From what I gathered in the tweet, it most likely was a free seating flight hence why the air hostess suggested him taking up any other available seat.

Why I won't like to be chanced like that, I don't support the guy's attitude of tryingg to be correct... It's not everyone that understands why someone would want windows seat or front seat.

I'm sure she asked before she took the seat. Let's not in the spirit of saying 'respect is earned' end up insulting our helper.

Most times they get overbooked and change the aircraft for a bigger one at the last minute thereby invalidating previously selected seat numbers.

If you want to capture beautiful pictures, then you have to wait until the Pilot announces that y’all need to get ready for landing...

Once the Plane drops down below 10,000 feet then you would be able to capture beautiful pictures...

My first Time boarding a flight and I didn't knew there are seat numbers attached to your tickets. Well, I sat at any seat and I wasn't challenged and ofcus the plane was full. I tried that again cos I was still ignorant but one spoilt brat came with her sister challenging me that's his seat. He showed me his seat number and I looked at mine too and since then I learnt from the little guy. I always like the window seat so I still try it if my seat number isn't on the window and pretend to be sleeping before the owner comes grin



Sleep na, na slap I go take wake you grin cheesy

This rarely happens except may be in Nigeria or the airlines are simply dumb.theres always another boarding pass from every landing and taking off from any airport.
The plane carried passengers from Lagos to Port and Owerri also was scheduled to carry passengers from Port and Owerri back to Lagos.
Seating arrangement was almost not used.

This was our discussion today morning with a brother, like the window seats are oat cake, you must stand up for me if i need the seat before you toast my wife. By the way is there bomb in your seat? If not, go there.

I don't know what I would have done if I were in the same position because I hate being a negative center of attraction (forget my jaguda online. Ayam a gentle porson grin), but I do know that I hate being pushed around. Some people just don't respect themselves.



I usually sit where I am assigned but if I ever get a window seat I will never let it go. I love window seats.


When I am doing connecting flights first check is the seats on all the flights. Usually I het 1 or 2 seats window.

If theres a spare window seat. After seat belts off I am diving for it.

I have never understood why Nigerians like bringing age to any matter.

Whenever you have issue with any dull Nigerian and they run out of something reasonable to say they'll start saying "I no be your mate" Like wtf.

And some feel entitled to many privileges like collecting daily greeting from the entire neighborhood.

Who has age ever helped? Them dey use am collect money for bank?

They should go and ask Methuselah what he did wit all his age. If Methuselah were these Nigerians I'm sure he'll declare himself king of kings


It's really annoying. Someone will try to chance you because he or she is older. I don't take accept it. At that point, I become very official

The reason I enjoy staying by the Window Seat is because I enjoy taking a lot of pictures & documenting my travels...

That’s the reason why I wouldn’t mind paying in advance to reserve a Window Seat...
Wow! Just Wow!

I have come to realize that only Nigerians (or other Africans) do this but hey, it's never that serious. If you're on an international flight with mostly foreigners this is very less likely to happen.

I usually just tell people politely that they're on my seat and they usually get up. One time I was returning back to Nigeria, a Nigerian had sat on my seat and I had politely mentioned it to him and he stood up.

Now on the connecting flight, the same thing happened and I was just fed up and didn't wanna tell the girl she was on my seat. So, I took another seat hoping that when the owner of this seat comes along I'll get up and probably try to find a seat that was unassigned to anyone.

Next thing this lady I had seen at the departure lounge comes, says hi, mistakenly drops her phone and I pick it for her. She then said, "thanks and for that I'll let you have my seat", I grinned and proceeded to explain that I was on hers because someone else had taken mine. We got talking and she happened to be the nicest person ever. She advised me on everything ranging from school, career path, to relationships and life in general. We spoke all through the duration of that flight which was about an hour 30mins.

This lady ended up giving $100 and I was so grateful. I didn't ask for it but she just gave me. She's been like a second mother to me. Infact she's been a very wonderful person. Let me just end it here.

If it happened to me, I'd be polite. If the person proved difficult, then we make a scene

If you jeje accepted after the person spoke with vitriol, then you deserve the donkey of the year award.
