We’ve all been there—settling into a flight, ready for the journey ahead, when suddenly, something goes wrong. For me, that something was an entitled couple who thought they could bully me out of the premium seat I had carefully selected. Little did they know, they were messing with the wrong person. Here’s how I turned an infuriating situation into a satisfying victory and even walked away with a profit.
I had gone out of my way to secure a prime aisle seat with extra legroom, knowing it would make the long flight more bearable. As I settled in, feeling content with my choice, I noticed a couple approaching. At that moment, I had no idea that this interaction would lead to a lesson in standing up to entitlement.
The woman, dressed in designer clothes and exuding an air of entitlement, stopped next to me without so much as a greeting. Her husband, just as arrogant, stood behind her as she demanded that I switch seats with her. She claimed she had accidentally booked the wrong seat and couldn’t possibly sit away from her husband. Her tone made it clear that this wasn’t a polite request—it was an expectation.
I was taken aback by the audacity of her demand. When I hesitated, she rolled her eyes and dismissed me with a scoff, claiming that I didn’t really need the extra space. Her husband chimed in, urging me to be “reasonable,” as if I was the one being difficult. The entitlement was overwhelming, and I could feel the eyes of other passengers on us.
Rather than escalate the situation, I decided to avoid a confrontation. With as much calm as I could muster, I handed over my boarding pass and sarcastically wished them well in my seat. The woman snatched the ticket from my hand with a muttered insult, while her husband smirked, clearly feeling victorious. But as I walked away, my irritation grew—and so did my resolve to turn this situation around.
As I reached the middle seat in row 12, where I had been relegated, a flight attendant intercepted me. She had witnessed the exchange and informed me that the couple had tricked me out of my seat—they were both supposed to be sitting in row 12. The revelation was infuriating, but I wasn’t about to let them get away with it.
I smiled at the flight attendant and assured her that I had a plan. While the middle seat wasn’t as comfortable as the premium one I had given up, I knew it would be worth it. I decided to let the couple think they had won, all the while preparing to turn the tables on them.
About an hour into the flight, once things had settled down, I signaled for the flight attendant and asked to speak with the chief purser. I calmly explained the situation, detailing how the couple had deceived me into switching seats. The purser listened attentively and thanked me for bringing it to her attention, promising to handle it.
A few minutes later, the purser returned with an offer: I could either return to my original seat or be compensated with a significant amount of airline miles—enough to upgrade my next three flights. I chose the miles, knowing they were worth far more than the difference between premium and economy on this flight.
As the flight continued, I noticed activity around row 3, where the couple was seated. The purser, accompanied by another flight attendant, confronted them about their deceit. The look on their faces was priceless as they were informed that their behavior violated airline policy. The purser even mentioned the possibility of them being placed on the no-fly list pending an investigation.
In a desperate attempt to defend herself, the woman blurted out that they weren’t even married—she was his mistress, and they were having an affair. The situation had gone from infuriating to downright bizarre, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I watched their smug expressions crumble.
As we landed and I gathered my belongings, I couldn’t resist one last glance at the couple. Their faces were a mix of anger, humiliation, and fear as they faced the consequences of their actions. Meanwhile, I walked through the airport with a sense of triumph, knowing that I had not only stood up to bullies but had also come out ahead.
In my 33 years of life, I’ve learned that sometimes, the best way to get even isn’t to make a scene but to patiently wait for those who think they’ve won to realize just how badly they’ve lost. This experience was a perfect example of that principle in action.
In the end, my encounter with the entitled couple on the plane wasn’t just about a seat—it was about standing up for myself and turning a negative situation into a positive one. By staying calm and thinking strategically, I was able to teach them a lesson they won’t soon forget and walk away with a profit. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best victories are the ones where you don’t just win—you win on your own terms.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being called “frauds” because of a rumor about what might happen to their children in the future.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn’t move to the US alone; they brought their son, Prince Archie, with them when they first flew to Canada. In 2021, they moved into their multimillion-dollar mansion in Montecito, California, and welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Even though Archie and Lilibet are still very young, they are often talked about in the news. Lilibet recently turned three, but no members of the Royal Family attended her birthday party. People are wondering what kind of relationship Archie and Lilibet will have with their UK-based cousins – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. There’s a rumor that King Charles wants to be more involved in the lives of Harry and Meghan’s children.
This fall, Archie is starting kindergarten, and Lilibet is getting ready for preschool. Harry and Meghan have been looking at schools for them, but one US journalist called them “frauds” because of this.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the US to have a more private life, away from the paparazzi and the pressures of being part of the royal family. It’s said they knew just days after their wedding that they didn’t want to stay in the royal family for long.
When Archie was born in 2019, they had already started trying to become more private. They didn’t want to be used as “puppets” by the royal family for fans and the media around the world.
Harry & Meghan ‘tricked” reports when Archie was born
In her book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, royal expert Katie Nicholl said that Harry was “almost morbidly obsessed” with keeping Archie’s birth a secret, which is very different from the usual way royal babies are born.
Despite many fans and the public wanting to know about the baby, Harry and Meghan’s wish for privacy was ignored and seen as part of the “unwritten contract between the royals and the public.”
Rebecca English, the royal editor of the Daily Mail, mentioned that things were so tense behind the scenes that some officials were reduced to tears out of frustration and despair.
Usually, when a royal baby is born, the parents pose for photos on the hospital steps and answer a few questions before going back to their private life. But according to Katie Nicholl, Harry and Meghan wanted to handle Archie’s birth differently. Instead of openly facing the media, they tricked reporters and photographers.
Prince William, Prince Harry, and William’s children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—were all born at St Mary’s Hospital, where their first baby photos were taken. However, Meghan’s doctor worked at Portland Hospital, so it made sense for her to have Archie there instead.

An added bonus for Harry and Meghan was that the entrance at Portland Hospital made taking photos impossible due to safety concerns.
“Harry had always enjoyed outsmarting the media,” wrote Katie Nicholl in The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown. She added that Harry and Meghan were thrilled to have their son at Portland Hospital in London before the palace press office even confirmed Meghan was in labor.
Lilibet’s birth was different. She was born in June 2021 in California, where no paparazzi got close. However, it wasn’t long before Harry and Meghan brought their kids back into the public eye.
Two years after Lilibet’s birth, Harry and Meghan announced that they had given their children the titles of prince and princess. While they claim these titles are their children’s birthright, not everyone agreed it was a good idea. Royal expert Angela Levin believes it could have a negative impact on Archie and Lilibet’s futures.
In an article for Sky, Angela Levin said that Lilibet now has a heavy burden because of her parents’ decision.
“It will take a long time for little Lilibet to understand the burden her parents have put on her,” Levin said.
She added that by giving their daughter an official royal title, Harry and Meghan have now “attached her to the British Royal Family,” which they have criticized for many years.
“Why would you want your daughter to go through such trouble?” Levin asked, saying that Lilibet’s daily life will be more difficult because she has the title of princess.
King Charles ‘desperate’ to meet Archie & Lilibet
“Little girls love pretending to be princesses at parties, but if Lilibet is the only real princess in her class, it could cause jealousy that could be avoided,” the royal expert said.
Archie and Lilibet are growing up quickly. Archie turned 5 in May, and Lilibet turned 3 a little over a week ago. On June 5, Lilibet had a birthday party, but no members of her royal family attended. Princess Eugenie is the only royal who has visited Harry, Meghan, and their children in California.
Although King Charles’s relationship with Harry and Meghan is strained, he is reportedly “heartbroken” about not having a relationship with Archie and Lilibet. The King has only met Archie five times and Lilibet once.
Speaking with the Mirror, royal expert Ingrid Seward said Charles’s cancer diagnosis has made his relationship with Archie and Lilibet even more poignant, as he realizes he “won’t be around forever.”
“Family has always been important to the King. He remembers his own fragmented childhood because his parents were always busy with their duties. It is a great sadness to him that he doesn’t see more of Archie and Lilibet,” Seward explained.
“That’s why he will never cut ties with Harry. He doesn’t want to only see his son’s children on FaceTime. He wants to know them and be part of their lives while they are still young enough to learn from him. His cancer diagnosis has made this even more important to him because he knows he won’t be around forever.”
Meghan revealed real reason why Archie will never attend a UK school
Only time will tell what Harry and Meghan’s children will do when they grow up. They can choose any path they want, including working as royals. However, their parents likely plan for them to attend some of the best and most expensive schools in the world.
Their UK relatives have gone to famous schools like Gordonstoun in Scotland and Eton in England. But it’s said that Harry and Meghan wouldn’t let their son go to school in the UK.
In a 2022 article for The Cut, journalist Allison Davis shared a conversation she had with Meghan Markle. Meghan said she didn’t want her son Archie to attend school in the UK because of safety concerns.
Meghan explained that if Archie went to school in the UK, she would never be able to pick him up or drop him off without a crowd of photographers taking pictures. She told Allison, “Sorry, I have a problem with that. It doesn’t mean I’m obsessed with privacy. It means I’m a strong and good parent protecting my child.”
Archie and Lilibet have a lot of time before they start high school or college. For now, they will probably go to a school near their home in Montecito, California, where they live.
Harry and Meghan “inspecting” expensive private school for Archie & Lilibet
One journalist says that Harry and Meghan have started looking at schools in their area, but they’re getting a lot of criticism for their choices.
Richard Mineards from the Montecito Journal told the Mirror that Harry and Meghan checked out a local private school, which is very expensive.
“The couple was seen visiting the school campus last week, getting closer to making a decision,” Mineards said.
He added, “In our area, school fees range from $50,000 to $60,000 or more for older grades, and most students go on to four-year colleges.”
It’s assumed that Harry and Meghan can afford to send their children to private schools. However, not everyone is happy about Harry looking at such an expensive school.
US journalist Lee Cohen has criticized the royal couple, calling them “frauds.” In an interview with GB News, he said it’s “infuriating” that the Sussexes are planning to enroll their kids in an “outrageously expensive” school, especially since they often talk about equality.
Lee Cohen said, “It’s extremely frustrating to hear that Harry and Meghan, who claim to be champions of equality and social justice, are thinking about sending their children to an exclusive, very expensive school.”
Harry & Meghan branded “frauds”
Lee Cohen continued, “Their supposed commitment to equality and social justice is just a show. If they’re willing to send their kids to such an elite, extremely expensive school, they’re not really supporting equality. They’re paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for their children’s education, while many families can’t even afford basic needs.”
Cohen wrapped up by accusing Harry and Meghan of maintaining the “systems of privilege” they claim to fight against.
“Sending their kids to such a prestigious school just shows how fake their claims are. They’re upholding the very privilege they say they’re trying to challenge,” Cohen told GB News.
