Travellers get 'instant sweet revenge' after plane seats stolen by family

Airline drama often occurs when it comes to seat allocation or onboard swaps. However, one family who were denied their booked seats say they got 'sweet revenge' when karma for the change hit.

Recently, we've heard of all kinds of plane drama when it comes to seating. People demanding window seats when they've not booked them, and others wanting to sit together expecting others to move for their request. The Mirror has now reported that one woman was left confused when she boarded the plane with her family, only to find another family had taken their seats in A, B, and C, but had left theirs in D, E, and F.

Admitting that she was a little annoyed about the situation, she says that, together with her family, they simply sat in the other seats without making a fuss. However, she adds that she soon got her own back as 'karma instantly hit' and those who had stolen her seats encountered an issue.

The mum took to Reddit's 'Stolen Seats' forum to revel in what had happened. Explaining the situation, she said the plane was completely sold out, and despite booking seats, when she got on she found a family sat in her reserved spaces.

The woman wrote: "We get on to find that a family is in our seats. The parents won't even look up at us. The teen daughter mumbles that she got there first and just sat down. They were in our A-B-C seats. They were supposed to be D-E-F. They were clearly not moving, and the seats were identical so we just sat in their D-E-F seats. Whatever, not worth worrying about.

"Well, until the mum who initially refused to even look at us leaned over to ask me if our USB and outlets were working. Yes, while I had headphones on.

"'Why yes, yes they are.' 'Oh my, are yours not?' 'None of them?' 'Isn't that a shame? Especially since we sat on the runway for a bit over an hour and it is a long flight. I imagine batteries are getting low.'

"Hello Karma."

"Outstanding", a Redditor wrote, whilst another said: "That's fantastic!"

Someone commented: "When traveling I always have two charged power packs in my personal bag. So not only did they steal seats they are not good at planning ahead for travelling!"

"I'm really curious why they decided to sit in identical seats across the aisle from their assigned seats. Whomp whomp to them, sweet karma", somebody giggled.
