OP flew on a cheap airline and paid more for more space for their legs and the chance to board the plane early.

Then, an entitled mom (EM) and her 12-year-old son (S) entered the plane after most passengers had boarded.

OP then saw the entitled mom (EM) talking to a crew member. He went back to listening to music, but then someone tapped him on the shoulder, making him take off his headphones.

OP said no when the 12-year-old (S) asked to switch seats with his mom. The kid walked away looking sad. But when OP put his headphones back in and started to relax, he heard a loud voice.

EM came up to the person and asked if she could have their seat because her son was afraid to fly. But since OP paid more for the seat with extra space for his legs and didn't want to change to a regular seat, he firmly said no.

OP got annoyed as the entitled person (EP) insisted that he swap seats due to her lack of planning. OP firmly asserted that he was under no obligation to comply.

EM falsely assumed OP was wealthy and used being a parent as an excuse for not being able to afford seat selection, leaving OP frustrated by her persistence.

OP refused to switch seats and asked to be left alone. However, EM claimed the flight crew told him to move, so OP called for the flight crew, and the same woman they spoke to earlier came back.

OP began discussing seat changes with the flight crew, but the EM interrupted, falsely claiming the flight crew told OP to switch seats. The flight crew sympathetically apologized with a look.

OP heard the flight crew (FC) telling the EM that she can't make him change seats. If he says no, she has to sit in her own assigned seat. EM got upset and said she might take legal action and delay the plane if they didn't do what she wanted.

OP saw the FC firmly telling the EM that she needed to pay extra to choose her seat. They warned her that if she kept bothering OP they might have to take her off the plane. EM reluctantly went back to her seat.

OP had a good laugh with the nice FC. They chatted and she gave OP a free drink.
