The 'seat squatter' trend on flights now has taken a new turn, as people are not simply looking to upgrade their airplane seats but wanting the perks that come with an improved seat.
Seat squatters are taking their 'hack' to a new level by not just hoping to steal a better seat on a plane but trying to grab free drinks in the process. Flight passengers are doing whatever it takes to get complimentary 'pre-flight booze,' even if it means taking someone’s seat for a few seconds. A Reddit user shared a story about a flight attendant’s encounter with a passenger who cheated the beverage system by posing as a first-class passenger.
This seat squatter, however, wanted something in addition to the upgraded seat. The flight attendant told the story about how 'people sat down, received their pre-flight booze and then said, ‘I’m just going to go say hi to my sister in the back of the plane,’ and walked off with the free drink to obviously not return,' the Reddit user wrote. The flight passenger and Reddit user went on to say that the women squatting in the front row may have been hoping to do the same thing.
Rather, 'immediately request assistance from the flight attendant.'
