'I refused to swap plane seats with a cheeky mum - she stared daggers at me the whole flight'

Air travel can be a tense experience for many people. Some passengers are uncomfortable in the confined spaces of their seats - and the plane generally - and this can lead to tempers fraying in the aircraft.One common issue people have with their fellow flyers is around the seating allocation, with many airlines only allowing customers to book specific spots if they pay extra.

This can lead to some families sitting apart during the journey, which can be an issue for some.Often, people will ask politely if someone is able to swap to allow them to sit with their loved one.

And while many people are happy to oblige, there is no requirement to do so - and many people refuse to move, especially if they have spent money on their chosen seat.This was the situation one man found himself in while on a long-haul flight from Europe to Asia.

He and his wife had booked seats in the first row, hoping that would give them some extra legroom on the 10-hour journey, The Mirror reports.When they boarded, they found that a woman was sitting in the middle seat in their row, holding a baby.
