hey, everyone..
thanks so much for the quick reply and the warm welcome

i am going to write to the airline (it was cathay pacific) and i'm also planning to write an article on in-flight sexual harassment for the newspaper i work for..
djk7: i thought about screaming at him many times but since i knew i was still going to be stuck next to him for the rest of the flight, i decided not to..
Less02: i agree completely. i was sure that panic was evident in my voice when i spoke to the flight attendant. with her being a woman too, i figured she would understand. but she snapped at me and told me there were no empty seats when there clearly were.
SanDiego1K: thank you so much. the thread is a great help. do you think i can mention your case too in my article? thanks so much...
jan_az: he was way older than me. maybe in his 40s or early 50s. american. huge guy. so huge that he was taking over my space. he started bugging me while lining up to board the plane.. i was horrified when i discovered he was going to be seated next to me. i think he has an asian fetish..
