A man who was unable to book two airline seats next to each other so he could sit next to his wife became frustrated after a fellow passenger refused to swap seats.<\/p>\n
Jay Kloss and his wife, Zoe, were separated in the business class section of their Virgin Australia airlines<\/a> flight after they were unable to book two seats next to each other. Jay was in the aisle while Zoe was seated by the window in the same row but on opposite sides of the plane.\u00a0<\/p>\n There were eight seats in business class and no middle seats.<\/p>\n MAN IN WHEELCHAIR ON BUS REFUSES TO MOVE FOR MOTHER AND YOUNG DAUGHTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Jay posted a video to TikTok<\/a> detailing the incident and asked his followers if he was in the wrong to request that the other passenger switch seats.<\/p>\n “I wanted to slap him,” he said.<\/p>\n He explained that when he booked the flight<\/a>, the other aisle and window seats were both taken. Jay assumed he would be able to swap seats with a passenger since that person would end up with the same seat on the other side of the plane.<\/p>\n “No matter what, me and Zoe are sitting together \u2026 WRONG,” Jay said.<\/p>\n NEW JERSEY MAN ATTEMPTED TO BOARD PLANE WITH HANDGUNS, AR-15, TASER, FAKE US MARSHAL BADGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As the couple boarded the plane, Jay said he politely asked the man in the aisle seat, “Hey bro, would you mind moving so I can sit with my missus? It\u2019s her birthday.”<\/p>\n “And he just looks at me and doesn’t respond,” Jay continued. “Then he’s like, \u2018No. I won\u2019t. But I’ll sit here,'” referring to Zoe’s window seat.<\/p>\n However, Jay explained, Zoe always sits near a window to avoid nausea.<\/p>\n “So, he’ll make us sit on either side of the aisle, just for no reason. It’s the same seat,” Jay said. “So anyway, I’m like, \u2018Bro, really? You sure you can\u2019t swap seats with us?’ And he just doesn’t respond to me.”<\/p>\n Zoe then sat in her seat by the window next to the man and asked him if there was a problem and if it were possible to switch seats since it was her birthday and she wanted to sit with her husband.<\/p>\n
