As social media users share stories about 'seat squatters' stealing plane seats, an etiquette expert weighs in on the new travel trend and offers some advice.
As the rise of the travel term 'seat squatters' circles the internet, some flyers may find themselves in a pickle when confronted with a passenger who's stealing a seat. One traveler shared a recent experience on Reddit in the 'r/delta' forum with the title, 'Rise of ‘Seat Squatters.’' The user claimed to have witnessed three different seat squatting incidents while on a Delta flight.
First was a guy that was supposed to be in 28C was all the way up in 12B and was trying to argue it was his seat. The next was a lady in 18A that was being adamant with the seat holder that she needed to be by the window and not in the middle,' the user wrote. 'The next was a couple that was supposed to be in 24C and D and decided to camp out and plant their flag in 24A and B.' Fox News Digital reached out to Delta Air Lines for comment.
If the seat squatter refuses to move, do not engage; do not recruit other passengers to rally; immediately request assistance from the flight attendant.' She said that if you do give in and allow the seat squatter to stay, don’t expect the airline to reimburse you for any fees that were associated with the seat. Randall added that if you are squatting yourself, eventually you will be caught.
