However, QR have decided to let somebody sit next to me, even though they could have sat in the next row back with a free window seat. So the question is:
  • Why would QR let this happen (BA block seats adjacent to status passengers, do QR not do the same?)
  • Why would anyone book a seat next to a stranger when there are plenty of other free setas available?
Have you checked ExpertFlyer? Could it be they have blocked the seat next to you?
