A traveler recently took to Reddit to share a screenshot showing what a Delta gate agent (GA) did to enhance passengers’ comfort on a less-than-full flight.
The post in the “r/delta” forum is earning praise for the thoughtful move made by the agent at St. Louis Lambert International Airport in Missouri.
“Not a very full flight this morning, so the GA [gate agent] rearranged seating to try and make sure everyone had an empty middle seat,” the user wrote, along with an image showing the seating chart from the flight.
