The person said they were first on the standby list to be given a seat and were instructed to head back to row 29 to enjoy the flight.

“I super nicely explained I was just given this seat by the FA (flight attendant),” the person recounted, suggesting, “Maybe there is a mix-up.”

But when another flight attendant came over, they “loudly scolded” the flyer.

“I wasn’t trying to scam a comfort seat — this is literally where she told me to sit,” the traveler insisted.

Fortunately, another passenger who witnessed the whole debacle stepped in to say, “I saw this whole thing happen and heard her tell you to sit here, so don’t worry,” which gave the person “some relief.”

“After a whole commotion I was reseated for a third time, and frankly felt kind of ******* for being framed as some seat squatter when I was just following directions!!!” the
