The 25-year-old went on to explain in the caption that she simply didn't want to swap for a "middle seat" and said the family should "book your flights earlier babes" in future.

Audrey's TikTok was soon flooded with a wave of support for her decision, with hundreds of fellow users confessing they would have done the same.

One person called out the family's "lack of planning," saying they were "sick of people thinking it's ok to disrupt someone" during a flight.

"If you’re asking to switch seats my new seat has to be equal or better than where I am now," another candidly wrote, adding: "Otherwise no dice."

A third hilarious penned "I would simply never ask. My kid could be seated 5 rows away I’d be like well… see ya in arrivals," to which Audrey responded: "HAHAHAHA SLAY."

Another chimed in with a hilarious experience of her own, writing: "A lady once offered to swap with me so I could sit by my husband and I was like "nah, I’m all good.'"
