For some reason, everyone that wants to sit around us on the 6th row now has to pay a Preferred Seat Rate ($56), but only on the right side of the plane. The equivalent seats on the left side are still $25. Any idea why this happens? Do rows 4-7 DEF on the 737-700 have higher seat pitch? Just an artificial restriction of supply?
