"He said he 'deserves' the window seat on the plane"

Giving up your plane seat so passengers can be next to, or closer to family members and friends is usually just polite. However, when someone doesn't want to move, the stance can divide opinion.

One man has caused uproar over plane etiquette after admitting his fury over being denied his preferred seat - simply because he felt like he 'deserved' it. After a mix-up with bookings, he was was left with "a seat he didn't want", and when he tried to get someone to move he was left hanging and people just giving him "seriously angry looks"
