Luckily I was able to move to another seat. It had been flagged inoperable on departure (due to being deflated on the previous flight!) but they learned inflight that maintenance had fixed the seat and not unflagged it correctly. Thank goodness, as I know some upgrades were declined during boarding.

I’m about to fly HND-YYZ. Fingers crossed.... sure sounds like there are a lot of issues. I can imagine a lot go unreported.
any tips on where this manual switch is?
