According to the viral video, the flyer had “planned accordingly” for the 5 a.m. flight by booking himself a seat at the back of the plane.
He had just sat down and was fast asleep, when all of a sudden, he got tapped on the shoulder by a man in his early 40s, who asked if Nick minded switching seats with him, per the clip. Startled, the TikTokker asked why he wanted to switch, whereupon the man claimed that his two children were seated beside Nick while he was seated toward the front of the plane. Interestingly, there were no kids with him at the time.
The man argued that it was a no-brainer as Nick would get off earlier with this arrangement, adding that the switch was “no big deal.” However, the content creator refused as he was exhausted and didn’t want to get up. “I was like ‘You know what I’m just a little bit tired, I don’t feel like going through the hassle of moving stuff around,'” Nick recalled.
Undeterred, the traveler offered to move the Nick’s stuff up front, prompting him to reiterate that he didn’t want to trade. At one point, the frustrated man said, “You’re serious, you’re not going to let a father sit with his kids?” All the while, Nick .
