Rosalinda Randall, a California-based etiquette expert, told Fox News Digital that “reserved seats do not come with the option to move to a priority seat.”
“People are becoming more bold in adopting what they want and expecting others to back down,” she said, adding, “Being polite requires a lot of self-control, listening. You have to lean back and breathe a deep sigh of disbelief.”
If you find yourself in a similar situation, Randall recommends first double-checking your boarding pass to make sure you're in the right place and asking a fellow passenger or flight attendant for help if the situation escalates.
