A flight passenger revealed that a fellow traveler paid $150 through Venmo to switch from a middle seat to an aisle seat so they could sit next to their friend. The transaction has sparked a lively debate on social media, with users weighing in on whether the payment was reasonable or an unfair practice.
While some see it as a harmless transaction between passengers, others argue it could set a precedent for seat swapping in a way that may affect the fairness of seating arrangements on flights. The incident has drawn attention to the growing trend of passengers paying for seat upgrades or switches, raising questions about the rules and etiquette of air travel.
