Blocking 2 first class seats on most flights?
Wife and I got upgraded to 1A/F i advance for a flight today.
App showed 10 of 12 booked in first...but all seats taken on map so asked the agent if there was an aisle or seats together.
She said they’re blocking the two aisles in row 1 for FA COVID distancing.
When we boarded gate agent said she notified the FAs to see if they’d let us sit adjacent.
Nothing mentioned to us by FAs when we got on board but heard the captain come out and ask the FAs if things were sorted with first class seating. They said all fine.
Checked other flights today and they’re mostly showing +2 blocked on the notation.
Not flying as much as before all this but don’t remember this last flights.
Was this some concession to go along with the furloughs?
