.
Given the premium nature of the upper deck, and 64K in particular, I would really hope that the crew had already asked the person in the window seat downstairs, who you would be moving next to, if they would like to move to an aisle seat upstairs, and they had declined. I guess you never know what negotiations have gone on before they approach you, but i'd have thought trying to move someone from the upper deck to downstairs should very much be a last resort.
