Most everyone is missing the point. She paid for one seat, the teen paid for one seat. The teen did NOT pay for two seats. Therefore, he was entitled to his ONE seat and the woman, regardless of being standby or not, was entitled to the other seat. Just because he took up enough space for two seats, does not entitle him to take hers....which technically, was an "empty" seat, until she paid for it.
