I had a really strange seat situation last night DTW-LGA and would love everyone's thoughts on what happened. I had a paid FC seat in 3B. I go to board and the BP scanner spits out a new seat assignment of 2B. I tell the gate agency my BP says 3B and he just says you're 2B. Since they're both forward aisles I just moved on. Then I get on-board and someone is already sitting in 2B (3B, my original seat, as well). I tell the FA someone's in my seat 2B and she says, oh just take seat 3C. OK no prob (another forward aisle seat). I was worried someone would then show up trying to claim 3C but no one did.
Not complaining, but just found this very strange
