I had not requested an upgrade in the app.

Is there any way, in addition to not requesting an upgrade in the app, that I can ensure I don't get auto upgraded?
I believe there's a place for that specific flight, and also a place in your account that you can set in general.

You can select a preference for window and aisle.

I wish there were also a selection for "don't upgrade me and a companion in comfort+ unless it's a configuration like I already have (two seats on the side)", as I'd rather be in MAIN unless we get that specific configuration.
