A man who was unable to book two airline seats next to each other so he could sit next to his wife became frustrated after a fellow passenger refused to swap seats.

Jay Kloss and his wife, Zoe, were separated in the business class section of their Virgin Australia airlines flight after they were unable to book two seats next to each other. Jay was in the aisle while Zoe was seated by the window in the same row but on opposite sides of the plane. 

There were eight seats in business class and no middle seats.

Jay posted a video to TikTok detailing the incident and asked his followers if he was in the wrong to request that the other passenger switch seats.

“I wanted to slap him,” he said.

He explained that when he booked the flight, the other aisle and window seats were both taken. Jay assumed he would be able to swap seats with a passenger since that person would end up with the same seat on the other side of the plane.

“No matter what, me and Zoe are sitting together … WRONG,” Jay said.

As the couple boarded the plane, Jay said he politely asked the man in the aisle seat, “Hey bro, would you mind moving so I can sit with my missus? It’s her birthday.”

“And he just looks at me and doesn’t respond,” Jay continued. “Then he’s like, ‘No. I won’t. But I’ll sit here,'” referring to Zoe’s window seat.

However, Jay explained, Zoe always sits near a window to avoid nausea.

“So, he’ll make us sit on either side of the aisle, just for no reason. It’s the same seat,” Jay said. “So anyway, I’m like, ‘Bro, really? You sure you can’t swap seats with us?’ And he just doesn’t respond to me.”

Zoe then sat in her seat by the window next to the man and asked him if there was a problem and if it were possible to switch seats since it was her birthday and she wanted to sit with her husband.

“Nah, no problem. Just not moving,” the man allegedly told her.

Jay then asked his followers, “Am I missing something? Can somebody explain to me what the hell is going on here? It’s the same seat, just on a different side of the aisle.”

But the couple did end up sitting next to each other, as the person sitting in the window seat next to Jay offered to switch with Zoe.

The comments on the video overwhelmingly pushed back on the idea that the man should have switched seats with Jay.

Many users said the couple should have booked the seats they wished to sit in and that there should not have been an assumption that the man would give up his seat to accommodate them, even if it was Zoe’s birthday.

Hundreds of flights were either canceled or delayed on Wednesday, leaving thousands stranded after the airline Lufthansa experienced an IT failure, according to reports.

Reuters reported that more than 200 flights were canceled in Frankfurt, Germany, which serves a hub for the German-based airline. Frankfurt is also one of Europe’s biggest airports.

“As of this morning, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group are affected by an IT outage, caused by construction work in the Frankfurt Region,” the airline tweeted. “Unfortunately, this has led to flight delays and cancelations.”

HOW SHOULD TRAVELERS PREPARE AHEAD FOR WINTER FLIGHT DELAYS?

The airline told passengers that as it prepares for fallout from an upcoming strike this Friday, they check their flight status to keep up to date on last-minute changes.

“We understand the difficulty this situation causes and hope to be able to provide you assistance as soon as possible,” Lufthansa tweeted.

The IT systems later said all systems were back up and running and that they expect flights to return to normal by Thursday.

The airline reportedly blamed the fiasco on engineering that was conducted on a railway line extension by a third-party on Tuesday night.

When the work was being done, a drill allegedly cut through a Deutsche Telekom fiber optic cable bundle.

As a result, Lufthansa’s passenger check-in and boarding systems crashed, and air traffic controllers were told to suspend inbound flights.

Song with hundreds of flights being canceled, over 100 were delayed.

Frankfurt was not the only airport to experience repercussions. In fact, Charles De Gaulle in Paris reported two flights were canceled and two others were turned around.

The newest addition to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom will be debuting this Spring.

TRON Lightcycle/Run is set to open on April 4, 2023. The rollercoaster, modeled after the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Disneyland Shanghai, will be near Space Mountain in Tomorrowland.

“Prepare to enter the Grid. It’s almost your turn. Ready? TRON Lightcycle/Run opens at Magic Kingdom Park on 04/04/23,” Disney Parks Blog tweeted.

Hours before the official announcement, Disney Parks Blog tweeted a video with the TRON lightcycles spelling out the number four two times.

Leading up to the big announcement, Disney was tweeting cryptic videos hinting at the coaster’s anticipated opening date. 

The first video on Monday showed a video game scoreboard with the caption “Need a Clu?” which is a reference to Jeff Bridges’s character Clu in the movies. The scores on the board appeared to represent important dates to Disney and the TRON franchise. 

DISNEY GUESTS STUCK ON ‘IT’S A SMALL WORLD’ FOR OVER AN HOUR: ‘TORTURE’

According to the Disney Parks Blog, the story of TRON Lightcycle/Run picks up after ‘TRON: Legacy’ where Kevin’s son, Sam Flynn, has opened a second gateway into a digital realm known as the Grid.

Once guests enter the queue line, Disney says they will feel as if they’re digitized and transported to the Grid for a special Lightcycle race. To ride the coaster, each person will buckle into their own Lightcycle, similar to a motorcycle, for a high-speed race in the semi-enclosed structure.

The WDW website describes the ride as follows:

“Climb aboard your very own Lightcycle and take off on a high-speed adventure, racing against the Grid’s most menacing Programs. Surge past your fierce opponents as you attempt to cross through 8 Energy Gates and secure your team’s victory—so you can survive to race another day.”

The attraction will be one of the fastest roller coasters at any Disney theme park in the world.

According to the blog, cast members will be the first to enter the Grid during special previews, followed by preview opportunities for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members.

The ride was announced in 2017 during the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts presentation at the D23 Expo. Initially, former Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the plan was to open the attraction in time for WDW’s 50th Anniversary celebration, which ends in March 2023.

Country music star and three-time Grammy winner Miranda Lambert brought her Texas roots to Nashville, Tennessee, with her four-floor bar and restaurant.

Casa Rosa, Miranda Lambert’s “Tex-Mex + Cantina,” opened in March 2021 in Downtown Nashville and it’s reportedly the first female artist-owned restaurant in the area.

Fox News Digital was given a behind-the-scenes look at the spot, which is located at 308 Broadway (SEE THE VIDEO at the top of this article).

“That’s where you’re going to find her,” Orsini continued. “She pops in all the time and might surprise somebody.”

Dining hours at Casa Rosa start at 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. EST depending on the day and end at 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. EST, according to the restaurant’s website.

In the wake of last month’s legislation requiring museums in New York to acknowledge art stolen by Nazis, a possible disagreement over a certain piece has been brought up, according to one report.

In August, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law that requires museums to put up signs identifying pieces that were looted by the Nazis from 1933 to 1945, the Associated Press (AP) reported. 

It is estimated that 600,000 paintings were stolen from Jewish people during World War II, according to a press release from the New York Department of Financial Services.

NEW LAW REQUIRES NY MUSEUMS TO ACKNOWLEDGE ART STOLEN UNDER NAZIS

Approximately 53 pieces in New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art have been identified by the museum as having been taken or sold under duress by the Nazis, according to the museum website. 

Despite the fact that those objects were returned to their rightful owners before they were obtained by the museum, the Met will still put up signs explaining their history, the AP reported.

Andrea Bayer, the Met’s deputy director for collections and administration told the AP: “People should be aware of the terrible cost to people during World War II as these confiscations took place, and how these peoples’ treasures that they loved and had been in their families, had been torn from them at the same time their lives were disrupted.”

The Met told the AP that it does not plan to put up a sign on “The Actor,” a painting by Picasso that the museum received in 1952 as a gift. 

The painting was owned by Jewish businessman Paul Leffmann, who sold the painting for $13,200 in 1938 to a Paris art dealer as he was fleeing Germany, AP reported.

In 2016, Leffmann’s great-grandniece, Laurel Zuckerman, sued the museum for $100 million because the painting was allegedly sold under duress, Reuters reported at the time.

A court later dismissed the lawsuit, but Lawrence Kaye, one of the lawyers who represented Zuckerman, told the AP that the Met should still publicly recognize the painting’s disputed past.

“I believe the law would cover this piece,” Kaye told the AP. “It was dismissed on technical grounds and I believe under the broad definition of what this law means under the statute, it should be covered.”

“TSA officers are used to seeing an eagle on their uniform as they look over their shoulder, but I’m sure the team at @CLTAirport Checkpoint A did a double take when they saw a real one earlier this week,” the agency tweeted. 

“Our special guest was Clark the Eagle with the World Bird Sanctuary, who decided to give his wings a break and fly commercial,” the agency said in a second tweet. “His airline notified us and we screened him and his handler.”

Clark was traveling home to the World Bird Sanctuary after flying at the High Point University convocation ceremony to welcome the incoming freshman class, according to the sanctuary’s Facebook page.

Clark is one of four bald eagles that travels around the country to fly at different venues and events, according to the World Bird Sanctuary website.

The website says that Clark hatched in 2002 at the World Bird Sanctuary as part of a project that bred then-endangered bald eagles to return them to the wild. 

Clark was hatched with scale deformities on his feet that would have made them unprotected from cold temperatures in winter, so he stayed at the sanctuary while his siblings were all released, the website says.
