Passengers Cautioned About Rising 'Seat Squatting' Trend on Flights
# Passengers Warned About New 'Seat Squatting' Trend
## Flight Safety Advisory Released
Air travelers are being cautioned about a disturbing new trend known as "seat squatting." This behavior involves passengers claiming seats that are not assigned to them, causing disputes and confusion on flights.
This issue has recently gained attention as passengers have reported instances of individuals sitting in their seats and refusing to leave. The trend has sparked concern among flight crews and travelers alike, as it disrupts the boarding process and can lead to uncomfortable confrontations.
Flight attendants have voiced their frustrations regarding this trend. “I'm a flight attendant and once a passenger says someone is in my seat, I 100% make them move to their assigned seat,” stated a flight attendant named Olivia.
Many passengers are bewildered by this behavior. One traveler expressed disbelief, asking rhetorically, “Is that a thing that people are doing on planes now? They just sit in your seat and just go like, 'no, it's mine, I sat there first so minesies?'”
Airline officials are encouraging passengers to sit only in their assigned seats and to report any issues to the cabin crew immediately. This advice aims to ensure a smooth and safe flying experience for everyone aboard.
