Mexican presidential candidate Ricardo Anaya Cortés, arrived early at Terminal 1 of the Mexico City International Airport to board the first commercial flight to Tijuana, Baja California, where he had campaign activities this Monday Jamuary 29.
Anaya Cortés was flying out of Mexico City on Interjet flight 2402, which departed at 06:35 in the morning, bound to Tijuana.
The politician from Queretaro talked to several passengers who greeted him and asked him for pictures, and he sat on seat 5F of the aforementioned flight, next to the window. He pulled out his laptop from a briefcase and started to work and review the speech he was going to give in Tijuana later on.
The passengers continued boarding the plane, when a lady, wearing a green coat, approached the candidate and his private secretary, asking them to please stand up, because Anaya Cortés was occupying her seat (5F).

Anaya checked his boarding pass, realized he was in the wrong seat, apologized and moved to Seat 5D, next to the aisle.
Anaya and the lady exchanged a few friendly words and that was it.
