5 minutes later an agent comes down and hands me a new boarding pass moving me to 14E, a middle seat. The gentleman in question then took 14D and said his wife was in J. So I suspect they re-processed the upgrades and upgraded his wife, placing him back in PY, and myself in her seat.
Fairly frustrating as obviously would have preferred the aisle for the 10 hr flight...
Anyone had a similar experience being displaced after boarding / receiving an upgrade?
Why didn't you refuse to move? IMHO that's a major downgrade!
