An online post about airplane seats recently went viral. The poster said that they* were seated next to a toddler on a trans-Pacific flight from Japan. The toddler’s mother was in the row behind them, and she asked the poster to swap seats, but the poster said no because it was a bad trade. The poster didn’t want to give up their window seat for the mother’s middle seat.

According to the poster, the mother was unhappy, but she didn’t ask anyone else to swap seats. Instead, she sat in the row behind the toddler for the whole flight. The poster said that the child was well-behaved, so they had a peaceful flight.

Many airlines now charge passengers an extra fee to reserve “preferred” seats: seats in the front of the plane, window seats, and aisle seats. Unpopular seats such as middle seats and seats in the back of the plane can still usually be reserved for free. Experts say that many passengers are unhappy about paying extra to reserve regular seats, but airlines will probably continue these policies.

When someone’s identity is 100% unknown, the pronoun “they” is commonly used instead of “he” or “she.”
