The man said he refused to move from his seat (stock photo) (Image: Getty) The debate around plane seats is always a contentious topic. If you're a frequent flier, chances are you'll have run into a situation where you've been asked by someone if you'd be willing to swap seats. This can be for a variety of reasons ranging from parents and children who weren't able to book seats together, to people who fancy their chances at bagging a window seat.

Most people will agree that if you've booked your seat on a flight , you have no obligation to give it up to anyone. Nothing is stopping you from being a nice person and agreeing to switch if you want to, but you're not expected to and you would be within your rights to refuse to switch if you weren't fond of the offer. But what would you do if the person who asked to switch seats with you had a good reason, such as they didn't want their kids to be alone or they had a disability? For some of us, that would sway our decision as we would see the other person as more "in need" than ourselves.
