Modern airlines do often attempt to get away with too much, since what, are you going to drive across the ocean? They overbook, charge for average-sized bags, and attempt the weirdest seating arrangements.
A worried woman asked the internet if not giving up her first-class upgrade was the right move. On a long flight that she had booked well in advance, the airline offered her a free upgrade to first class due to the travel points she had accrued. But just moments into the flight, a flight attendant came by to ask her if she wouldn’t mind downgrading her seat.
Even first class-flying can come with it’s own set of difficulties

A woman wondered if she was the bad guy for not giving up her seat so a family could sit together
**AITA for not switching my first class seat with a 10y boy’s economy seat so he could sit with his family?**
Background info, I (23F) have been planning a trip to San Francisco for around a year at this point and had booked my tickets a year in advance.
Around about a month or two before the trip, the airline called me saying they’d like to upgrade me to first class due to my points and being a member.
I had never flown first class before so to say I was so excited was an understatement.
I made sure to do everything possible in the lounge before my flight and I was welcomed with such a comfortable setting for the 13-hour flight.
