Due to not flying a lot earlier this year, I have been doing Mileage Runs to San Juan for the past eight weeks.\u00a0 A Mileage Run is usually a flight that covers the most amount of mileage for the least amount of money and usually means a very short turn.\u00a0 Typically, these runs have had me spending 18 hours or so sitting in Economy, since on the new United, upgrades rarely clear (a change we will all like).<\/p>\n
So twice, I was asked to switch seats.\u00a0 I normally sit in the E+ section in an aisle seat.\u00a0 I paid for and chose that seat.\u00a0 The first time, the guy sitting next to me in the middle seat gave me a song and dance about how he and his wife would like to sit together.\u00a0 I said, “where is she sitting”?\u00a0 “Row 30B”.\u00a0 I was in 8C.\u00a0 So that would mean that someone who didn’t pay for an E+ seat would be moving up and I’d be in the back in a middle seat.\u00a0 PASS.\u00a0 He obviously knew what he was doing and wound up moving to the back after we leveled off. The second time was on the flight back, where the woman sitting next to me in a middle seat wanted me to move to another middle seat so her husband could sit in my aisle seat.\u00a0 Once again, NO!<\/p>\n
