A lawyer held up a flight for almost an hour after he discovered that the airlines company Avianca had overbooked his seat.
The passenger, who identified himself as Juan Manuel in a recent video chat with the TikToker who filmed the incident, had purchased a roundtrip fare from Bogotá, Colombia, to Los Angeles before he was shocked to find out that there was a child sitting in his seat.
Manuel recalled arriving two and a half hours ahead of his trip at El Dorado International Airport for the first leg of his journey, before making a connection in El Salvador.

This is far from uncommon. In this day of technology, we were better off when the airlines did manual seat assignment with peel off stickers. Yes, I am that old. When you should up to the gate, you got your sticker assigning the seat. When they ran out of stickers, you were out of luck. Never heard of any problems.
