That way everybodies rights are respected.
wiggy........... I do understand the situation re. exit rows. Have sat in them in my time. My point is the crew/airline need to engage with the passenger not apply heavy handed remedies. Diplomacy wins (nearly!!) every time. .Off loading just seems over the top. Ask her to move ??!! As I said I was not there.
