Long Haul Business Class with connection- Extra seat on short haul segment?
I am a bigger person and do not want to make myself or the person sitting next to me miserable on a flight. I am willing to pay for business class seats ORD-CPH-SPU round trip. SAS used to block the middle seat on the short connecting segment from CPH-SPU for business class seats but they do not do that anymore. Now it is just a regular economy seat, 3 across towards the front of the plane with priority boarding. I called asking what is the process and the cost to secure an extra seat on the short intra-Europe segment of the flight, and I was told that was not possible that I would need to buy an extra seat for all portions of the flight including the trans-Atlantic portion. That doesn't make sense to me. My business class seat on the long haul flight would be a single window seat. Why would I buy a second lie-flat seat that is not even connected to my first seat? The SAS customer service agent was pretty rude and unhelpful and just wanted to get me off the phone. Anyone have to get an extra seat and know how it is done and did you have to buy a second lie flat seat that you didn't even use just so you could have a second seat on the short segment flight?
