Some people can be quite crafty. You're not obligated to swap your pre-booked plane seat with someone who requests it, but often we might do it out of kindness.
However, one man stood his ground and refused to give up his chosen seat on a recent flight - and when he discovered the real reason behind the request, he was relieved he did. Mark Roberts took to TikTok recently to share a word of caution after a woman asked him to switch seats with her, claiming she wanted to sit closer to her daughter - but he suspects there was an ulterior motive.
"If someone asks you to switch seats with them on a commercial flight be cautious, because they don't always have the best intentions," warned the TikTok star.

Detailing the situation, Mark revealed he was one of the first to board the flight and the "only one" in his row. He added: "As soon as I sit down this random lady taps me on the shoulder and she's just like 'my seat is right here', pointing to the seat next to me, 'but my daughter is a couple of aisles up, would you mind switching with her so we can sit next to each other? '." Mark shared that 'red flags' started popping up in his mind, as he was seated in Premium Economy, and the only passengers ahead of him were in First Class - implying that's where the daughter was seated.
The TikTok star found it odd that the woman didn't disclose this information upfront, for instance by asking: "Do you want my First Class seat? ".
