'Sweet karma' hits plane passengers after family seats were stolen during a flight

Boarding the plane whether you're a solo traveller or a family with many members can be stressful at the best of times.

From making sure that you leave on time to checking in any bags, there's a lot to think about. But once you're in your seat, some of that stress disappears - until you have to disembark, of course.

However on a flight recently, one passenger was left confused when she boarded the plane with her family, only to find another family had taken their seats in A, B, and C, but had left theirs in D, E, and F empty, reports the Mirror.

Admitting she was annoyed, she and her family simply sat in the other seats without making a fuss. However, the woman soon got her own back as 'karma instantly hit' and those who had stolen her seats encountered an issue.

The mum took to Reddit's 'Stolen Seats' forum to revel in what had happened explaining that the plane was completely sold out, and despite booking seats, when she got on she found a family were sat in her reserved spaces.

The woman wrote: "We get on to find that a family is in our seats. The parents won't even look up at us. The teen daughter mumbles that she got there first and just sat down. They were in our A-B-C seats. They were supposed to be D-E-F. They were clearly not moving, and the seats were identical so we just sat in their D-E-F seats. Whatever, not worth worrying about.

"Well, until the mum who initially refused to even look at us leaned over to ask me if our USB and outlets were working. Yes, while I had headphones on.

"'Why yes, yes they are.' 'Oh my, are yours not?' 'None of them?' 'Isn't that a shame? Especially since we sat on the runway for a bit over an hour and it is a long flight. I imagine batteries are getting low.'

"Hello Karma."

Taking to the forum one Redditor wrote: "Outstanding" whilst another said: "That's fantastic!"

A third commented: "When traveling I always have two charged power packs in my personal bag. So not only did they steal seats they are not good at planning ahead for travelling!"

"I'm really curious why they decided to sit in identical seats across the aisle from their assigned seats. Whomp whomp to them, sweet karma", somebody giggled.
