Rebooked into 2 completely different rows I can believe. Rebooked into 2 adjacent seats I can believe. Rebooked in such a way that you have window and aisle in the row, sorry, I think you're making that up to avoid admitting that you play games with the seats you choose and then drag the middle seat occupant into your games when you don't end up with a row to yourselves.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I am referring to all the other cases. I said 1/3 of the time involved the scenario you describe. I was talking about the other two thirds.
i only fly coach on short flights. Until this thread, my impression was that all middle seat occupants would be delighted not to have the middle seat. And my experience has been 90% smiles and 9% “sure”, with one person preferring an aisle to my offer of a window.
it was in the BA forum that I read “don’t bother with Club Europe, just book aisle and window and the middle seat would usually stay empty” .
Before covid, it was invariably true. Since , I book club Europe.
