A few years back my wife was injured while we were traveling--using a wheelchair. On our last segment somehow we were seated next to each other but a row apart (I never tracked down if somehow I goofed or whether their system moved one of us for some reason) and asked the GA if there was anything she could do to fix it. New boarding passes--E+.
