Usually I can do with a preferred seat. Those small amount of investment (or free for me on AC flights) makes your life miles better.

I regret a lot for the two flight I had with UA I did not choose economy +.

Sometimes it is not the seat per se is particularly uncomfortable, but your seat mate. Especially nowadays lots of middle seats are occupied by economy basic pax.
