Another issue is when 2 family members claim the window seat and the aisle seat and you - a stranger- have to sit between them. I have had to sit between a father and his teenage son for a 4 hour trip. Another time a husband and wife : she claimed the window seat and her husband claimed the aisle seat. And of course they talked over me during the flight.

Airlines have made seating closer together so they can fit more people on their flights.
What was Morris thinking? Having a celebrity status will always incur a bit of the unwanted elements at times. With being a celebrity, does this give any additional rights?
We all eat, shit, and eventually die.
Get over it Julia !!!!!

We don't need a female section only, what we do need is plan and simple common sense. If someone needs to climb over you to get to their seat, then Move Your Ass get out of your seat and let them through.
Theatres seating is the worst for this.
Lost count of how many ties I've been made to climb over someone to get to my seat only to have some stranger hands either on my leg or ass pretending to help me.
Remember most threater chair lift when you stand so clearing a space for someone to walk by.

It’s not that hard to stand up to let people through to their seats it’s just common courtesy I don’t think it has anything to do with celebrity status.

What will be next, maybe gender based hours at the supermarket? I'm sure that I'm not the only bloke who's ogled and leered at while I'm shopping, I just feel like a piece of meat to those women!

This is a really trollish post. Dear Observer: it’s not about celebrity but about respect and dignity that should be shown by anyone. Economy class seating is only for the brave (and skinny).

Whenever I have to fly, I always book my seat online. I try to choose an aisle seat near the front of plane. I then wait to board the plane near the end of the line, therefore avoiding most of the chaos happening with passengers trying to get seated.
This also takes the stress out of boarding.

i would have told them to shut up or else change their seats.

nothing to do with celebrity status. she is a passenger, same as others.
me i am always a window seat. i can go 4 hours without having to pee. PLUS. The last thing I would be rushing to to use is the plane toilet, but they all line up to have their feet in pee.

They probably booked those seats hoping no one would be booked in the middle seat. If the plane is full this doesn’t work.

I always book an aisle seat and have noticed on occasion that someone has taken it, ther is a reason fr allocated seats which people seem to forget?

Ignorance is bliss, obviously they have no manners.

My 14 yo granddaughter was flying alone from Melbourne to Perth. I booked her an aisle seat because I didn’t want her sat next to someone she felt uncomfortable with and having to squeeze past them if she needed the loo. I told her not to give up that seat for anyone. Her dad told the flight attendant she was travelling alone and could she make sure she got her allocated seat. Thankfully all went well and she said she enjoyed her flight.

I don't agree with women only sections, BUT if men refuse to be polite and get up to allow a woman to get to her seat with dignity then perhaps airlines might have to start boarding passengers by seat number. That would then solve two problems: the one above and then the aisle congestion waiting to get past people to get to your seat. So come on guys, be polite and make it easier for women to get to their seat, please.

You are definitely off your head.

You should wear comfortable and covered shoes.

Where have you been? Have you not seen how many celebrities feel that they are entitled to more from anyone and everyone else?
Julia's posting fits in to that category as though she is someone special or of importance, and entitlement. Sadly, a lot of women feel that way and I simply have no time for those that do.
It would never bother me to get up to make room for someone that wants to get past me on a plane. Heck, I'd even offer an arm of support if need be regardless who they are.
