Newton smiled and walked back to his assigned seat. Elisara Edwards, who recorded the incident, said: “He asked the guy in front of us about his seat and if he can trade seats, and the other passenger asked him how tall he was.
He said he was 6-6, and the guy goes, ‘Well, I’m 6-4, and I’m with my buddies here, so I won’t be able to give up my seat.’ And he asked him if he would trade for $1,000, and he said, ‘No.’ And he’s like, ‘$1,500?’ And he said, ‘No.’”
