AIBU, which stands for 'Am I Being Unreasonable', is the perfect platform for sharing your thoughts and opinions! So, for today's AIBU discussion, we have this story from Reddit/UsualSuccess7450:

Am I being unreasonable for offering to sell my seat to honeymooners?​




'I was flying from Melbourne to Dubai. I paid for a premium economy seat because it is a 14-hour flight and I want to be comfortable.'

'The person in the next seat had been upgraded, and they asked if I could switch seats with their wife as they had just gotten married and were on their honeymoon. I congratulated him on his nuptials and asked where his wife was sitting. He pointed towards the back of the plane. In economy.'

'I declined to switch seats. He asked if there was any way to convince me. I offered to switch if he paid the difference between the seats. It is a goodly amount. I had been lucky to get mine at a decent price. It would only have cost him AU$1,000.'



'He said that they were on a budget for their honeymoon. I congratulated once again and put in my earbuds. He muttered that I was unreasonable. I said he was a prick for taking the upgrade instead of either sitting with his wife or giving it to her.'

'I told my wife about the incident and she thinks I should have done the nice thing. For the record, she hates flying in economy, so I know she would not have switched. Am I being unreasonable?'
