Regularly being assigned window seat despite preferences

Hello,

I've hardly ever pay for a seat on an Iberia flight, as I nearly always travel alone and don't really care where I sit, as long as it's an aisle seat.

I have an Aisle seat set up as my preference in my IB+ profile, and until recently I was always assigned an aisle seat, which was fine.

However, for the past six weeks, my weekly flight has been consistently assigned a window seat. The flights have not been entirely full either. Is this Iberia reading my preference and then deliberately assigning me to a window seat in the hope that I will pay to move?

In any case I'll make IB+ Gold in a few weeks, which I think means I'll be able to chose my seat for free.

C

You could test your theory by changing your preference to 'window'...

Yeah that confused me a bit... I speak pretty good Spanish, but I had to ask my wife about this one, and she said it should be "quien no llora, no mama". In any case, I've only got a handful of flights to take before I make gold....

That is the "correct" idiom. I was making a pun.
