However.................

Got assigned my seat (2K) and got settled in. Ther was a bit of a kerfuffle over on row 1, someone's seat wouldn't recline (even though of course for taxi take off and landing it should have been upright). The ground engineers were called, took the seat apart, but to no avail. It wouldn't move.

Cue the purser, asking me if I would either swap seats into the non reclining one, or return to my original business allocation, thereby removing the upgrade !

I politely declined, and she went round asking everyone else who had been upgraded if they would move, eventually somone in less need of sleep than me agreed.

Was I right to refuse, or should I have given in and taken the broken seat ? As I see it, it's the luck of the draw if you get a seat that doesn't perform, heaven knows I have had it often enough.
