Hi all! Havent posted for too long. I just stupidly paid ton of extra dollars to get our preferred seats from LAX to IST and looking at the plane now it looks practically empty. Granted we still have one month for departure but I feel dumb to pay about $900 for bulkhead seats when we *possibly not have any issues finding good seats upon checkin. I called but they said seat fees are non refundable. Has anyone done this and how likely we can get perhaps airline credits? Thanks!
