Today he noticed he was moved to 8J (the only window seat left, now all A/J seats are gone). I'm still in 4A. He reached out to Delta to see what happened. They said "there was an aircraft swap" (which isn't true as the flight was booked, it was an A330-300 and it's still an A330-300).

A little disappointed at the swap as we had back-to-back seats while both getting a window. Now if we want to sit together, we'd have to move to a pair of two in the middle section.

Has anyone else had experience with mysterious bumps if they previously selected 3A on an A330?
Twice - 3A on A330

First time I did not say anything because I got another good seat (which ended up being broken, but that is pure coincidence).

The next time it was not a good seat so I decided enough is enough and I called - they researched and found out a travel agent had booked it 3 weeks out (mine was 6 months out) and when they resolved the dupe they moved me! I said no way and they moved the other person and gave it back to me.
