Choosing a seat in an airplane can be a distinctive art for passengers, especially for people who travel frequently by plane. The choice of a seat can be fun and can also be the case when choosing a seat on a plane on a traveler's journey.

Sabina Sultanova, 34 years old, has chosen a trip to Dubai from London, no choice for her, maybe she has bought a seat in Economy Class, you never know, do you?

Who knows if she gets annoyed with the choice of seats on the plane, this time she chooses the British Airways airline, as quoted from detikTravel and the Boarding Area website, so unknowingly, it's possible, she stepped into the front of the plane's cabin.

"Ah, this is very adequate and looks comfortable!" she said later and immediately fell asleep.

In the passenger records of the check-in desk counter, Sabina was listed as an Economy Class passenger from British Airways airline with London route to Dubai.

"Why does this seat feel cramped?" spontaneous she said it, because it turns out sitting sat in the middle. Unconsciously, her eyes widened the entire cabin room, as her legs just stepped into the row of passenger seats on the front.

True, that's what she does, though it could be that she is looking for another seat nearby or around, but instead chooses to sit in the Business Class seat.

A flight attendant sees her activity, but for a while the flight attendant can not do anything, and chooses to wait, then calls the authorities, when the plane arrives in Dubai.

Regardless the incident had passed long enough, in March last year, but Sabina had just filed her demands recently.

"I fell asleep for a moment sitting in a row of seats on the front!" she said later and did not even know why she could be there.

Sabina expressed protest over the stewardess, who took her to the police in an uncomfortable position, and made her hand bruised.

Her lawyer, Keith Barrett as reported by the Daily Mail, then gave a statement about the situation.

"She was unconscious until he arrived at the airport detention center filled with police officers who were withdrawn from the plane by the airline stewardess which resulted in a number of cuts and bruises."

Although all has happened, the British Airways release Sabina with strict sanctions in the form of a lifetime fly ban.
