Agreed. The one time we were turned down, the person's reason wasn't valid. They didn't want to swap into a like (aisle) seat in the last row of NGBC seats because of "limited recline." Now all NGBC seats have the same recline, so the reason was not valid. However, that was his seat. After smacking him only once, I didn't get angry at all
Cheers.
