Too many usurpers try that little trick, and it annoys many of us.
Perhaps, and I can understand that. I just would have much rather she just say that than go on the power trip. I told her he was unaccompanied, and I didn't present a boarding pass.

Had I been traveling with him, yeah, we would have taken our middle seats with the C group. I would have checked in at T-24 though so it wouldn't have been an issue.
