What's the consensus on getting a better seat?
This is my first time using BE and foolishly checked in T-24h. Of course I got the close to the bathroom, no window, middle seat all the way in the back. Plan is to plead the gate agent as well as lounge for a non-middle seat but how to generally avoid this hell?
Unlike UA, AA doesn't take your seat preference in consideration.
