I ALWAYS offer to change seats on planes because it ends up getting me a BETTER seat than the one I started with
A frequent flyer has revealed that she enthusiastically swaps seats with other passengers – and it often gets her a better seat.
Talia Lakritz often flies solo and has revealed that she is always willing to swap seats with other passengers on a trip.

However, the New York-based traveler said she was completely on the opposite end of the spectrum as she was still hoping another passenger would ask her to swap seats.

Talk to Initiatedshe said, “I usually don’t mind changing seats, and sometimes it even leads to a better place.”
Talia explained that when she was traveling she saw a couple going in separate rows.
She noted that one of them was sitting next to her, so she offered to switch so the lovebirds could sit together.
Talia said her offer not only put her in the good books of her fellow travelers, but also landed her a better seat.
She was seated in a middle seat, but after changing she was able to get comfortable in an aisle seat.

She explained that although airline seat etiquette has become a hot topic, she doesn’t mind swapping seats if she’s traveling alone and the flight isn’t too long.
However, Talia noted that if she had paid for a seat, she would not offer to change.
