'Elderly couple tried to steal plane seat – people were stunned by my response' A woman has been hailed a hero for standing her ground against an elderly couple who cheekily tried to nab her plane seat on a gruelling 13-hour flight.
Unwilling to surrender the seats they paid extra for, she queried if the couple intended to take their spots, to which they replied: "Yes, that would be nice.
She posted: "We booked and paid for our flights and I added the premium economy seats as I'm 6'3 and wanted the extra leg room.
However, the couple refused to move, arguing that their original seats didn't provide enough leg room.
The woman stood firm, explaining the premium they paid for the extra comfort.
