Small Help Goes A Long Way!


--by T-Vicki, posted Jan 11, 2020
I was on a 10 hour long flight journey. I was sitting on the aisle seat and there was a woman sitting on the window seat who was unable to recline her seat. So, she called the stewardess and complained that the seat would not recline. The stewardess reached over me to try and push the button of her seat, but to no avail.

She then offered to move the woman to another seat, but the only seats available were middle seats. The woman said that she could not sit comfortably in a middle seat, and sadly decided to stay in her own seat.

I thought of helping her in some way. I tried my own seat recline button and it was very hard to push, but it did move the seat back. I leaned over to the woman and told her that the buttons are sometimes very hard, and asked her to try to push it very hard into the arm.

She gave it a try and really put some energy into it and, voila, the seat back reclined! She was so happy. She would now be able to rest on this long flight. I am so glad that I decided to help. It makes me feel great to help others.
