Seat allocation stolen

[opusman]

Just having a whinge.

Got myself a row 4 seat for ADL/MEL tomorrow at T-80.
Went to check in today and seat allocation has mysteriously "vanished", and of course row 4 is now full.

Bloody P1s!

Whinge accepted.

Wait to be the last to board so you can give them a dirty look as you walk past row 4 to your new seat...

Wasn't a former Rugby Union exec, by any chance? Notorious for pinching forward seats, including mine once.

Interesting you say that, some years ago I had my long preallocated 4C seat usurped by the same guy around MEL-AKL and AKL-MEL flights bracketing a Bledisloe cup match.

Won't make any difference, in general we do not normally care about the PAX beyond R4.

True! Indeed sometimes it's nice to board last so they can replace my boarding pass and I can be there when they boot someone out of my new seat!!

I’m the same opus, happened earlier this week. Except I had checked in and everything into row 4 (physical boarding pass printed) but at the gate found I was moved to row 21. What annoyed me was that row 5,6,7,8,9 all had aisles free. Great service as a WP...

Unless it was ‘operational reasons’ I’d suggest maybe CL instead of a P1 as the seat thief.

 

[RichardMEL]

Yup could be bloody CL or bloody WP.

And for the record, as a bloody P1, I hav enever required, nor requested, any seats be changed for me.

Row 4 is overrated anyway.

I dont like row 4, and will never pick it, as it means I have to put my handbag up !!!

 

[RichardMEL]

There’s a row 4

in the A380 F cabin ... yes

Whilst there are other disadvantages to row 4 on a 737, that is not one of them (Row 1, or exit rows yes, but not Row 4).

Row 4 is overrated.

Row 22 is much better so you can wait for those between row 9-21 with 3 carry-on items in 3 different overhead bins.

Note that P1s don't have to request a seat change to earn my wrath; it's their fault row 4 is so often full in the first place.

R4 full, that’s because we can.

Indeed. Bloody P1s!
