Indian Railways Passenger Gets ‘Window Seat’ Without a Window, Sparks Humorous Reactions on Social Media

In a quirky incident on Indian Railways, a passenger who eagerly chose a window seat found themselves in a situation with no actual window beside it. The unusual sight was shared on Reddit, where a user posted an image of a seat located between two windows inside the Chair Car coach, leaving the specific spot without access to any windows. The post, humorously titled “Window sit (seat) I got,” quickly garnered attention and triggered a wave of amusing comments.

Social media users seized the opportunity for witty remarks and humorous observations. One commenter noted the presence of a charger point, adding a humorous touch to the situation. Another playfully expressed the fear of paying for a window seat only to end up in the ‘windowless’ one. The scenario prompted jests about destiny and even humorous speculation that someone might have stolen the window, attributing it to a “typical Indian rail” experience.

While the incident drew laughs online, it’s not the first time a passenger has faced a window-related disappointment. 

A User said in comments,

Window seat > aisle seat > middle seat > window seat with no window.

A similar occurrence took place on a Ryanair flight a couple of years ago when a passenger paid extra for a window seat, only to discover that her seat lacked a proper window. Instead, she was met with a small circular opening on the emergency door, leading to her sharing the frustration on social media with the caption, “Seriously Ryanair, I paid for the window seat.”

These instances highlight the unexpected twists and humorous moments that travelers may encounter, emphasizing the need for flexibility and a sense of humor when it comes to travel experiences.
