Then, after hearing everything, the traveler beside her said:
You cannot simply steal someone else’s seat in that manner.
We may formally announce the payment. If she doesn’t want to, I can record it. The woman’s face went white.
The flight attendant used the occasion to give the purser a call.
In the end, she was actually required to pay the current fee for the additional seat. It nearly matched the cost of her own ticket.
Then she sat down normally for the first time. The back of the cabin gave a courteous round of applause when the flight attendant departed.
As everyone grinned and looked at one another, the woman across from me mutely uttered:
I’m grateful.
I was also growing impatient.
