If it was the same aisle seat but in another row, would that be workable?
I'm just curous what you mean by "another row"? Are you asking would I trade my seat in 24C for 6C? No problem! But trade 6C for 24C? Big problem. Many people, when seeking swaps, somehow always seek swaps that improve their relative position in the airplane.
(I might still make the trade, but I can see how many wouldn't want to be stuck in the back of the aircraft. And if I had paid extra for my seat, I certainly wouldn't give it up to sit in back).
