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

you yourself quoted up there that you don't know what you would have done if it happens to you, now you yourself is saying it happened to you one time....chai fear fear na

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...

I don’t know what you mean by first come basis...

I’m a frequent flier of American Airlines, Delta Airlines & United Airlines...

Priority is usually given to Medallion Members & Members who also posses a Frequent Flier Credit Card during the boarding process

All three Airlines allows you to pick you seat in advance as long as you’re willing to pay for it...

If I pay $52 in advance for Window Seat {32 A} that entitles me to that particular seat during the course of the flight...

Another Passenger cannot claim the right to the seat while a priority customer has already reserved the seat in advance by paying almost $52 for it...

By paying almost $52 the Window Seat {32 A} is printed on my ticket & passengers are always cautioned to make sure they are all at the correct seat as printed in their boarding ticket during a fully boarded flight to a popular destination like New York City...

If their is a confusion as who should be seated at a particular seat, Airline officials usually go by the seat number printed on your ticket inorder to reach a conclusive decision...

If Aisle Seat {32 C} is printed on your ticket you cannot claim the right to Window Seat {32 A}...

However a passenger can decide to switch seats with approval from a fellow passenger that’s entirely up to them...

If it was a Pregnant Women, Elderly Passenger & Disabled Passenger I would have let them have the seat...

But under no other conditions whatsoever would I let someone else to claim the right to my seat...

If it was that important to them the should have paid in advance for it & if they can’t afford it then they should ask nicely for permission from me instead of trying to argue with me & raising their voice unnecessarily...

..
You quoted some particular airlines and I quoted another.yes people who got into the airplane first always have the liberty to choose their seats first but like i said,it still all depends on your boarding category.
Nobody said you cant claim your seat printed on your boarding pass but we shouldn't take it as war when someone tries to play funny.sometimes the cabin crew can change your seat for whatever reason and there's nothing you can do about it.
Not every airlines charge for seat reservations except you choose to upgrade to premium class.

Waiting for your life to change because u sat beside somebody....

life's not a movie bro..... Don't wait for fairy tales, this is so common among our people here.

Obviously you comprehended that sentence in reverse.go read again and then digest it properly.

7Alexandre:
I wonder why people like doing that...

I love the window seats & usually pick them in advance of my flight even when if it means paying in advance...

There was a time I was flying back to New York City via United Airlines & has to pay $52 for a Window seat & extra legroom...

By the time, I got on the plane a lady had already taken my seat even though our seating arrangement were clearly printed on our flight ticket...

I had to call the attention of one of the flight attendants to move her away from my seat...

I cannot let my $52 to go like that...

The worst part of the whole issue was her trying to claim she is right the whole thing time...

Assuming she explained politely to me that they were traveling together as a group & wanted to seat together maybe I might have changed my mind & let her have my window seat but her attitude left a lot to be desired & as a result I had to act...

I hate aisle seat especially when flying on a long distance flights, window seats are always my favorites...

I usually pay in advance of my flight to guarantee my window seat reservation...

u wan see when dey plane go crash ne make u follow window jump??

One glare and he/she is up with speed

I’m tired of the back & forth...

Getting into the plane first has nothing to do with your Seating Arrangement...

Your Seating Arrangement is printed on your boarding Pass...

So even if you entered the Plane First & your Seat Number {32 B} is printed on your boarding pass then you’re only entitled to that particular seat during the course of your flight duration...

You can’t claim entitlement to a particular seat that isn’t printed on your boarding pass...

If paid $52 in advance for a Window Seat then I’m entitled to that particular Seat...

Nobody is going to play funny to me especially when it comes to my right...

The Cabin Crew including the Pilot cannot ask me to move from a Window Seat I already reserved in advance except they have another Window Seat available for me...

Like I said before, I flown a lot of time & I know when I’m wrong & when I’m right...

I’m this particular case my argument holds firm...

The only time that I would be willing to move from my Window Seat is if it involves a Pregnant Passenger, Disabled Passenger & Elderly Passenger...

If any other Passenger is tryna to play funny to gain access to a Window Seat I have already reserved in advance then they’re simply fooling themselves...

I’m usually calm & collected but would never let people walk over me especially under this particular scenario...

this is why i"ill never board a local flight, rather travel by road than fly with animals in a plane.0

Garrieveryday:
Lol. It happened to me too and I told the woman we are not going anywhere today. Guess where it happened? In Keke=

Napep.

Baba werey re ooooo!!!!! I don laugh taya.

AntiBrutus:


I will tell you to stand up with a very weird smile. I saw it on a flight I entered too, it played out same way.

Why sit on another's seat?
It is soooo uncourteous. Then they told the man there are plenty vacant seats. I was pissed in his behalf. A young guy o, just because he wanted to sit near one fine girl.

Smh!

But wetting de air hostess or flight attendants de do dia own? Dem no supposed de show piple especially first timers dia seats as printed in dia tickets? Even bus conductor for Peace Mass or AKTC Sabi arrange passengers according to tickets pass dem so called Air Hostess sef.

It happened but on a short distance. This was as a result of pick and drop from one airport to another. To Lagos from Port, the flight landed with passengers from Lagos en route Owerri. Owerri passengers are still on the booked seats.

I love the look too but I haven't tried to snap any. How did you do this?

Most times it's d hand rest ur seat mate will be struggling with u, claiming he is entitled to two hand rest including d remote control.

not absolutely sure how i will react.
i am mostly known s a gentle and easy going buta nerd, but i have a craze button , and people trying to chance me can activate it.

I like this guy... This is one the best tweets I have read in a good age...

Some Nigerians and entitlement are like amala and ewedu... I'm not a hostile person, but interacting with most Nigerians can turn Spiderman into Venom in an instant. No courtesy whatsoever, even among graduates.

I still believe I was switched from my real European mother at birth.

Get me right...

It's not every airline that assign seat on boarding pass.if you haven't experienced that,then you haven't travelled much.in those cases,you board based on priority.

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.

Unku, what's your argument about exactly? Somebody said he paid $52 extra for a seat and you are still saying another thing

nairalee:
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

You are getting it wrong it's not about Nigerian bringing age matter. That lady was wrong and arrogant by sitting in some one else sit. It's our tradition to respect elders that the white don't greet doesn't make you to copy them and throw your tradition away. They earn the greeting because they are your elders it's sign of respect it's how culture . The same way we have arrogant youth will all so have arrogant elders. White don't see anything in age differences or greeting its there culture it is not our culture. So please don't use this medium to look down on them.

midehi2:

You misunderstood me. I never had to clash with anyone. Right at the entrance the hostess informed me. I didn't walk to my seat and find someone else there. Capish?

Majesticniyi:

Mr,if you don't know how to comprehend simple english,then go back to school.this is about a general case of assigned seat on boarding pass and not a one off you thought I was referring to.

You should see when they pull that on me. I just whack their head with my 12 year old mind and they stfu!

The way I bone face, and present my boarding pass lasaan, discourages any extra conversation.

They get up sharply, because they can tell they don't want to deal with a mad man.

It's you that's getting me wrong. I value customs and traditions alot but I hate when someone begins to have a sense of entitlement. I was once made head over my colleagues by my boss for reasons best known to him. I later overheard some comparing bitterly that they cannot imagine how boss will choose the youngest as their head. I'm like WTF WTF WTF

This is beautiful... Whenever I remember to take pictures it is always just clouds I capture .

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

jaxxy:
I agree with the young man because African mentality makes us forget simple protocols. What we can’t try outside our shores we do here in the name of tradition or customs or whatever sentiments. Even the air hostesses doesn’t know her job.

My problem with him is I don’t know what Olisah Metuh has to do with his matter. Probably just humor.

"Methuselah aburo Olisa Metuh"

*Methuselah, the younger brother of Olisa Metuh*
