I've experienced that all too often on BA, but happily on hour-long flights at decent hours. When my fellow travelers find out what I've done to them, I'm dead meat. And since you were mentioning seat-shuffling, I suppose that meant the flight wasn't exactly wide open. Maybe Egyptair will join OW in the next couple of months and they'll let me use them.
