The caption “when a family asks me to switch seats on the plane so they can sit together”, followed by a raised eyebrow emoji, is written across the video. The post’s caption reads: “No I’m not switching for a middle seat book your flights earlier babes,” underlining that Ms Peters was not impressed to be asked to swap for a less comfortable plane position. “I’m a mom too and 100 per cent agree!’, another parent said, adding: “I book early to get us all together or we choose a different flight. “I’m so sick of people thinking it’s OK to disrupt someone for their lack of planning,” one person typed, while someone else asked: “Do they not realise you planned ahead and picked that seat?”.
