Sometimes ignorance of the official rules is nice.
Last week, tried to do this from CLE to ORD and was politely refused. However, going to RNO from LAX Sat and will give it a try in the RCC in LAX to see if they will give me E+ for that flight. Maybe if they see what I have booked on UA for the next week will help convince them, but I am not really hopeful. BTW, in my opinion, UA E- is not the same as CO Y (non exit row). For some reason, the A-319 and A-320 seats seemed to be more like AF Y, tight and uncomfortable. However, this is just my personal opinion.
