Overview

• A Reddit user, @pix-zzzs, recounted reaching a crowded gate in Paris while connecting to Rome with her sister and nephews aged seven and four.
• A lone passenger declined a polite request to move one seat so the boys could sit together after being told the seven-year-old’s prosthetics were tight and his legs were swelling.
• The boys were seated in the two empty chairs beside the woman, who briefly sat between excited children before their mother took the middle seat.
• Local outlets including the Mirror, Liverpool Echo and Bristol Live reported the post on Sept. 14, highlighting comments that called the mother’s move “perfectly petty” and “karma at its finest.”
• No airline or airport action has been reported, and the episode slots into a year of viral travel-etiquette disputes without policy consequences.
