It was by no means her emergency that they couldn’t plan.
Social media has erupted in support of a woman who, in spite of flying with a youngster, refused to give up her first-class seat on a flight.
In a recent video, Dr. Sabra, who goes by @lifewithdrsabra on TikTok, disclosed that she was accosted while flying.
To fulfill the request of another traveler, she was asked to move to seat 1A.
Dr. Sabra added the following overlay text to her video:
“POV: Flight agent asks me if I want to give up my 1A seat so a child sits with their family.”
This message was accompanied by a broad smile that conveyed her joy at having decided to keep the seat for which she had paid the initial price.
Even the background features a well-known TikTok audio clip in which someone shouts, “Girl, f*** them kids and f*** you too.”
Videos where people refuse to sacrifice for the children of others frequently use this footage.
Travelers particularly desire the 1A seat, which is usually found at the very front of the aircraft and in first class.
Dr. Sabra went into much detail in the caption of her video.
The family was able to “find a solution” to their seating problem without her having to relocate, she said, adding that she chose to remain in her seat.
“That’s a no from me, dawg. Would you have given up your seat?” she said in her caption.
Additionally, they managed to discover a solution, so no, I’m not a bad person. The child was around 13 years old as well.
Since then, the video has gained 4.9 million views, and many viewers have sent supportive comments about her choice.
@lifewithdrsabThat’s a no from me dawg 🤣 would you have given up your seat? Also they ended up finding a solution so no, i am not a terrible human being. Also the child was like 13.
They pointed out that the parents need to have planned their trip more effectively.
A viewer asked: “Why isn’t their first instinct to just switch the child with one of her parents so they could be with a guardian… lmao.”
Someone else stated: “Unless they upgrade me to first class im not moving I paid for that seat you should have planned your trip better.”
“People need to PLAN AHEAD,” added a third. Quit making your lack of preparation a problem for other people.
A fourth person wondered: “I wonder if some families actually on purpose buy the cheapest tickets, to plan to ask someone for their seat ‘I got kids, pls move.'”
Dr. Sabra later said that the problem with seating was due to an error on the part of the airline, not the family’s request.
To be clear, when the gate agent asked, I requested to view the seat map because I didn’t like the other option.
She clarified, “They were kind and found a solution right away,”
“The family never addressed me,” she continued. Instead of their requesting to sit together, I believe it was an airline regulation.
What are your thoughts on her choice to keep her first-class tickets instead of giving them to the 13-year-old? Tell us what you think.
