The window seats on the plane are in high demand.
However, a man did not want to give up his place for a child, thereby infuriating his mother.
There is debate online as to whether the behavior was correct.
Stuttgart - For many travelers, their vacation starts on the plane.
Once you have taken your seat on the plane and take off towards your destination, you can relax and unwind.
Of course, things are different if you have to deal with fear of flying or nausea while traveling.
But there are some suitable tricks to avoid spoiling the start of your vacation.
While some passengers prefer the front or last rows of the plane, others prefer to sit by the window on the plane.
Children especially find it exciting to take a look at the earth from above the clouds.
Some people therefore voluntarily swap their window seats with the little passengers.
However, one man didn't see this and got into trouble with his mother.
Mother is outraged because a man won't let her child sit in the window seat on a plane
In a forum on the online platform Reddit, a user reports on his experience on a flight from Stuttgart to Copenhagen.
He had booked a window seat and sat in a row with a woman and her child.
“The mother then asked me if the child could get the window seat,” he writes.
“I said to her in a friendly way, I’m sorry, but I paid extra for the window seat.” The woman was then outraged and emphasized again, but this time unkindly, “how much her child would be happy to sit at the window.” , says the user.
However, the Reddit user remained steadfast and therefore wants to know from the community whether he acted wrongly.
The network is on the man's side and shows little sympathy for the angry mother.
“I have a child myself.
But I see it the same way you do: If I know that my child likes to look out the window, it is up to me or my husband to reserve a window seat for the child,” writes one user.
“These parents bother me so much.
It’s not my problem that you have a child,” commented another.
“Some people really think they have all the rights in the world just because they have a child,” says one user angrily.
The Reddit community is annoyed by the expectations of some passengers
As can be read in the forum, it happens more often that passengers with window seats are approached to swap - especially by parents.
These expectations annoy users on Reddit.
“I find such behavior really bold and totally inappropriate,” says one.
“I hate it when people try to push others into a moral corner,” writes one user.

“You paid for the space, all the other guests had the same opportunity but didn’t use it,” argues another.
However, it can also happen that the place is accidentally allocated twice.
On a return flight from Budapest to Manchester, this even caused tears to break out on the plane.
