'Entitled dad demanded I swap £150 plane seats but I quickly humbled him'

A passenger who paid an additional £150 for a window seat on a flight to Brazil was approached by another traveler with a child, who requested the window seat for their child. The passenger refused, stating he had paid extra for the seat, and the other traveler responded with a glare. A flight attendant later approached the passenger again with the same request, but he showed his ticket and receipt, confirming he had paid for the window seat. The passenger shared his experience on Reddit, seeking opinions on whether he acted appropriately. Many commenters supported his decision, noting that paying extra for a seat typically implies the right to keep it unless the request is made politely.
