Men rubbing against women on crowded flights

I had the unpleasant experience of a man in the next seat 'accidently' leaning and rubbing against me on a busy flight recently.

I told him to knock it off, and he did, but only after a 30 mins of me trying to find the right words to say it. I was a bit frozen initially too as I couldn't quite believe he was doing it.

On the return flight I was discussing it with a member of cabin crew.

She told me that they are seeing this behaviour more and more frequently.

She asked me if I alerted cabin crew and I said I hadn't. For some reason it hadn't even occured to me.

She said the best thing to do in that situation is to report it to cabin crew, so that they move you and you don't need to deal with it on your own.
