Reminds me of my upcoming LIN-LHR flight where my wife and I recently got kicked out of the exit row 12 because CE expanded. Maybe an awful lot of couples hoping for a blocked seat!
Seating plan for LIN-LHR
EDIT: Any ideas if the exit row seats may reappear at some point, I will keep checking anyway, and maybe at the airport they will be available (assuming no more CE travellers...)
