Plastic Seat Saver -
I don't fly coach often, book it most of the time. Yesterday was one of the rare times when an upgrade didn't come through for either myself or wife - both EP. No big deal. Aircraft 737 - ORD - LAX. When we got to our row, found a plastic tray type table on top of the middle seat (as did the row across from us and the entire row in front) Rows 16 and 17.
The FA said it was so they could sell at high price coach seats last minute (made no sense to me) and have a place for FA's who were in transit.
Questions: Is this common? Always Row 16 and 17 on the 737?
Fantastic having the middle seat empty on a FULL flight.
