'Seat squatters' on planes is latest travel trend taking over social media
Fox News
Flight passengers' encounters with "seat squatters" circulate on social media as some flyers taking over more desirable seats not assigned to them stir up humorous tales.
Gary Leff, a Virginia-based travel industry expert and author of the blog "View From the Wing," told Fox News Digital via email that the person holding the seat assignment on their boarding pass is entitled to that seat.
"[Flyers] may not be able to get what they want from the airline when reserving seats, or the airline may want a fee for the seats they want and the passenger doesn't want to pay — so they'll try their luck on board," said Leff.
