‘I refused to give up my seat for a pregnant woman – she got upset but people tell me I was right’

A man has been struggling with guilt after refusing to give up his seat on a plane for a pregnant woman . After he revealed the situation on Reddit , to his surprise, strangers took to the comments to back him up.

The 28-year-old was on a flight from New York to Hawaii, which lasts 12 hours, and had made a point to reserve a “comfort seat” for an additional fee of about $214 ($257) plus points. But then he faced a dilemma.

Upon getting settled in his seat, a pregnant lady inquired if he could switch places with her because she was uncomfortable in her spot.

Detailing the incident on Reddit , he said: “About 15 minutes before takeoff, a visibly pregnant woman was walking up and down towards the front of the plane.”

“She and a flight attendant looked around for a moment, talked a bit, and then the lady approached me asking if I would be willing to switch seats with her due to her condition. I politely declined,” he explained.
