Both are aisle seats. Both will only have one person sitting next to them and I think that this is a reasonable request. In addition, I'll buy the person a drink as a thank you. Would anyone do it any differently?
I'm on the upgrade list and usually clear. Not sure if the both of us will but if I do I'll give it to my daughter. I travel far more often than she does and frankly I really care about leg room and 11D,E are the two best seats on the plane.
Or you could ask to 11B to switch with you.... Why should somebody seated in a seat with extra leg room and elbow room switch for what actually is a bit of an inferior seat?
