Was a flight into the US but not a US airline. I don't think anything came out of it but at least I did something.
As for Op and the current situation, should the situation come up to me, I think I would ring the call button and when the FA comes over, I would say something akin to "I'm sorry but can I be reseated? I was sure I asked for a seat in the non-smoking section."
