Woman REFUSES to Give Up First-Class Seat for a Child—Did She Do the Right Thing?
Her choice to stay in her seat was not an emergency for anyone else.
A woman refused to give up her first-class seat on a flight, even though she was traveling with a child. Now, social media is praising her decision.
Dr. Sabra, who goes by @lifewithdrsabra on TikTok, shared in a recent video that she was asked to switch seats during a flight.
A flight agent approached her and asked if she would move from seat 1A to help another passenger.
In her video, Dr. Sabra added text that read:
“POV: Flight agent asks me if I want to give up my 1A seat so a child sits with their family.”
She smiled in the clip, showing she had no regrets about keeping the seat she paid for.
She even used a popular TikTok sound in the background, where someone says: “Girl, f* them kids and f*** you too.”
This audio is often used in videos when people choose not to make sacrifices for others’ children.
Seat 1A, which is usually in first class and near the front of the plane, is a highly desired spot for travelers.
Dr. Sabra gave more details in her video’s caption.
She said she decided to keep her seat and mentioned that the family found another way to sit together without her having to move.
Her caption read: “That’s a no from me dawg, would you have given up your seat?
“Also, they ended up finding a solution so no, I am not a terrible human being. Also, the child was like 13.”
The video quickly went viral, gaining 4.9 million views, with many people in the comments agreeing with her choice.
Many said the parents should have planned their seating arrangements better.
One person commented: “Why didn’t they just switch the child with one of the parents instead? Lmao.”
Another added: “Unless they upgrade me to first class, I’m not moving. I paid for that seat. They should have planned better.”
A third person said: “People need to PLAN AHEAD. Stop making your lack of planning everyone else’s problem.”
And a fourth person guessed: “I bet some families purposely buy cheap tickets and then ask someone to move because ‘I got kids, please switch.'”
Later, Dr. Sabra explained that it was actually the airline’s mistake, not the family’s, that caused the seating issue.
“To clarify, the gate agent asked me. I checked the seat map, and I didn’t like the alternative.
“They were kind and quickly found another solution,” she explained.
She also added: “The family never even spoke to me. I think it was the airline’s rule, not them asking to sit together.”
