I don't know that every E90 has 3 air masks per side in every row. (Delta & UA CR2s do not.) You and your lap infant will be moved into seating that does have 3 masks.
Thanks. Yes, I think $450 in savings is worth that slight risk. I travel enough to know that some people are particular about their seats, but I can't imagine a request here being that big an imposition if we are all seated separately. I've always accommodated others' seating requests, provided they are reasonable (I say reasonable because once some guy asked me to switch F seats so he could sit next to his wife, and then I realized his wife was seated in Y! Umm, no thanks, why don't you switch with her yourself?).
