Reply to comment by DealerTokes in TIFU by giving away a seat that wasn’t mine. by tomfoolery77

Only on Reddit will someone think that's the takeaway of this story rather than "read your boarding pass correctly".

I don't get how they "swapped seats" before boarding the plane.

I can see a verbal, "hey, I'm here, when we get on can we switch?" But literally getting in line at the gate won't change the actual boarding pass they scan.

I'm not sure why everyone's downvoting you rather than explaining -- it took me a couple of rereads to understand this part of the story too. Nobody was switching at the gate, they were doing it on the plane as usual. The reason the gate is mentioned is that this flight was leaving from gate C3, but OP misread their boarding pass and thought that C3 was their seat. So that's the one they originally mistakenly gave up, rather than their real seat.

Everyone’s down voting them because OP made literally no kind of indication that seats were swapped before boarding. They totally pulled that out of their ass 😂

I swear that wasn't in there on the first read through. Everyone commenting at the time I commented were talking about it being at the gate, not ON the plane.
