Thanks for clarifying.

Unfortunately, too many airlines will move paying passengers for friends, “VIPs”, traveling employees, you name it. But honestly, in 70 years of flying, I’ve never found an airline you can rely on to 100% respect and honor your seat choice 100% of the time. Some are better, some worse.
