I actually have paid for E+ in the past, only to have people who didn't seated next to me. So it is more of a statement I've made that I'll never pay for it again.
Not only that, but that flight had mechanical issues, cancelled, and getting my money back was a major PITA.

a ^ to that FA, and I just Luv it when an FA is asked and she says sure no problem CC please as its $xx/$xxx for that seat.
I began my thread with this--
Now I realize each airline has their own policies on special seats. As a mod in the US forum I regularly see posts from elites of *A partners who aren't allowed to book exit rows, etc. As a US elite I know that I'm only entitled to a normal seat on partner airlines, the same as what US does for partners
When asked about paying, the FA said passengers needed to see the gate agent. When a passenger asked for the gate agent, they were denied.
